Numbers 1:2-18

2“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male individually,

3from twenty years old and above—all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

4And with you there shall be a man from every tribe, each one the head of his father’s house.

5“These are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

6from Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;

7from Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;

8from Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;

9from Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;

10from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;

11from Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;

12from Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;

13from Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran;

14from Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel;

15from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.”

16These were chosen from the congregation, leaders of their fathers’ tribes, heads of the divisions in Israel.

17Then Moses and Aaron took these men who had been mentioned by name,

18and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they recited their ancestry by families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one individually.
