Numbers 1:2-18

2“Do a head count of all the community of Bnei-Yisrael by their families and their ancestral house, with a total of every male one by one.

3You and Aaron are to muster by their divisions every son from 20 years and upward available to serve in the army of Israel.

4One man from each tribe, each head of his father’s household, is to assist you.

5“These then are the names of the men who will assist you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur.

6From Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.

7From Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab.

8From Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar.

9From Zebulon, Eliab son of Helon.

10From the sons of Joseph—from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud, from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.

11From Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni.

12From Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.

13From Asher, Pagiel son of Ochran.

14From Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel.

15From Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”

16These were those selected from the community, princes of their ancestral tribes. They were heads of the thousands of Israel.

17So Moses and Aaron took these men designated by name.

18They assembled all the community on the first day of the second month. They declared their lineage according to their families, the households of their forefathers, with the number of the names of those 20 years old and upward being listed individually.
