Book 04 Numbers
001:001 Yahweh 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,
001:002 "Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel,
by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to
the number of the names, every male, one by one;
001:003 from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go
out to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them
by their divisions.
001:004 With you there shall be a man of every tribe; everyone head
of his fathers' house.
001:005 These are the names of the men who shall stand with you:
Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur.
001:006 Of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
001:007 Of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
001:008 Of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar.
001:009 Of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon.
001:010 Of the children of Joseph: Of Ephraim: Elishama the son of Ammihud.
Of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

001:013 Of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran.
001:014 Of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
001:015 Of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan."

of the thousands of Israel.
001:017 Moses and Aaron took these men who are mentioned by name.

day of the second month; and they declared their ancestry
by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to

wilderness of Sinai.
001:020 The children of Reuben, Israel's firstborn, their generations,
by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to
the number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty
years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
