Numbers 1:15-42

15Naphtali Ahira son of Enan

16These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.”

17So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,

18and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day. All the people were registered according to their ancestry by their clans and families. The men of Israel who were twenty years old or older were listed one by one,

19just as the Lord had commanded Moses. So Moses recorded their names in the wilderness of Sinai.

20This is the number of men twenty years old or older who were able to go to war, as their names were listed in the records of their clans and families: Reuben (Jacob’soldest son) 46,500
