Num 26.1-51. The Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2“Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel, by families, by fathers' houses, according to the number of names, every male, head by head; 3from twenty years old and upward, all in Israel who are able to go forth to war, you and Aaron shall number them, company by company. 4And there shall be with you a man from each tribe, each man being the head of the house of his fathers. 5And these are the names of the men who shall attend you. From Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; 6from Simeon, Shelumi-el 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, and from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 11from Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni; 12from Dan, Ahi-ezer the son of Ammishaddai; 13from Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran; 14from Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel; 15from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.” 16These were the ones chosen from the congregation, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.
17Moses and Aaron took these men who have been named, 18and on the first day of the second month, they assembled the whole congregation together, who registered themselves by families, by fathers' houses, according to the number of names from twenty years old and upward, head by head, 19as the Lord commanded Moses. So he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
20The people of Reuben, Israel's first-born, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war: 21the number of the tribe of Reuben was forty-six thousand five hundred.

Num 2.33. But the Levites were not numbered by their ancestral tribe along with them. 48For the Lord said to Moses, 49“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, and you shall not take a census of them among the people of Israel; 50#Num 3.5-8,21-37; 4.1-33; 8.19; 18.3,4,23. but appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it; they are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall tend it, and shall encamp around the tabernacle. 51When the tabernacle is to set out, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And if any one else comes near, he shall be put to death. 52The people of Israel shall pitch their tents by their companies, every man by his own camp and every man by his own standard; 53but the Levites shall encamp around the tabernacle of the testimony, that there may be no wrath upon the congregation of the people of Israel; and the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.” 54Thus did the people of Israel; they did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.

2Take the sum of all the congregation of the sons of Israel by their families, by the houses of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls,
3from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel; thou and Aaron shall number them by their hosts.

22Of the sons of Simeon, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, those that were numbered of him, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,
23those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
24Of the sons of Gad, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,
25those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Gad, were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.

32Of the sons of Joseph: of the sons of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

34of the sons of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,
35those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.
36Of the sons of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

46all those that were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
47¶ But the Levites according to the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
48For the Lord had spoken unto Moses, saying,
49Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the sons of Israel;
50But thou shalt place the Levites in the tabernacle of the testimony and over all the vessels thereof and over all things that belong to it; they shall bear the tabernacle and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister in it and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
51And when the tabernacle departs, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.
52And the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, each man by his own camp and each man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
53But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the testimony that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.
54And the sons of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
