thousand and an hundred in their hosts: and they shall be the third in
the journey. And the standard and the host of Dan shall lie on the
north side with their companies: and the captain over the children of
Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammi Sadai: and his host and the number of them
sixty two thousand and seven hundred. And fast by him shall the tribe
of Asser pitch: and the captain over the sons of Asser, Pagiel the son
of Ochran: and his host and the number of them forty one thousand and
five hundred. And the tribe of Naphtali also, and the captain over the
children of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan: and his host and the
number of them fifty three thousand and four hundred. So that the whole
number of all that pertained unto the host of Dan, was an hundred
thousand fifty seven thousand and six hundred. And they shall be the
last in the journey with their standards. These are the sums of the
children of Israel in the houses of their fathers: even all the numbers
of the hosts with their companies six hundred thousand three thousand
five hundred and fifty. And yet the Levites were not numbered among the
children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses. And the children of
Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, and so they
pitched with their standards, and so they journeyed: every man in his
kindred, and in the household of his father.
Chapter .iij.
These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, when the LORD spake unto
Moses in Mount Sinai, and these are the names of the sons of Aaron:

tribe of Levi, and set them before Aaron the priest, and let them serve
him and wait upon him, and upon all the multitude, before the
tabernacle of witness, to do the service of the habitation. And they

nye, shall die for it. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: behold, I
have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel, for all the
firstborn that openeth the matrice among the children of Israel, so
that the Levites shall be mine: because all the firstborn are mine: for
the same day that I smote all the first born in the land of Egypt, I
