And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the
tabernacle of witness, the first day of the second month, and in the
second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt saying: take
ye the sum of all the multitude of the children of Israel, in their
kindreds and households of their fathers and number them by name all
that are males, poll by poll, from twenty years and above: even all
that are able to go forth in to war in Israel, thou and Aaron shall
number them in their armies, and with you shall be of every tribe a
head man in the house of his father. And these are the names of the men
that shall stond with you: in Ruben, Elizur the son of Sedeur: In
Simeon, Selumiel: the son of Zuri Sadai: In the tribe of Iuda, Nahesson
the son of Aminadab: In Isachar, Nathaneel the son of Zuar: In Zabulon,
Eliab the son of Helon. Among the children of Ioseph: In Ephraim,
Elisama the son of Amihud: In Manasse, Gamaliel the son of Pedazur: In
BenIamin, Abidan the son of Gedeoni: In Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammi
Sadai: In Aser, Pagiel the son of Ochran: In Gad, Elisaph the son of
Deguel: In Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan. These were councillors of
the congregation and lords in the tribes of their fathers and captains
over thousands in Israel. And Moses and Aaron took these men above
named and gathered all the congregation together, the first day of the
second month, and reckoned them after their birth and kindreds and
houses of their fathers by name from twenty years and above head by
head, as the LORD commanded Moses, even so he numbered them in the
wilderness of Sinai. And the children of Ruben Israel's eldest son in
their generations, kindreds and houses of their fathers, when they were
numbered every man by name, all that were males from twenty years and
above, as many as were able to go forth in war: were numbered in the
tribe of Ruben, forty six thousand and five hundred. Among the children
of Simeon: their generation in their kindreds and houses of their
fathers (when every man's name was told) of all the males from twenty
years and above, whatsoever was meet for the war: were numbered in the
tribe of Simeon forty nine thousand and three hundred. Among the
children of Gad: their generation in their kindreds and households of
their fathers, when they were told by name, from twenty years and
above, all that were mete for the war: were numbered in the tribe of
Gad forty five thousand, six hundred and fifty. Among the children of
Iuda: their generation in their kindreds and houses of their fathers
(by the number of names) from twenty years and above, all that were
able to war, were told in the tribe of Iuda seventy four thousand and
six hundred. Among the children of Isachar: their generation, in their
kindreds and houses of their fathers (when their names were counted)
from twenty years and above, whatsoever was apt for war, were numbered
in the tribe of Isachar fifty four thousand and four hundred. Among the
