001:042 Of the children of Naphtali, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
forth to war;
001:043 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali,
were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
001:044 These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men:
they were each one for his fathers' house.
001:045 So all those who were numbered of the children of Israel
by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward,
all who were able to go out to war in Israel;
001:046 even all those who were numbered were six hundred three thousand
five hundred fifty.
001:047 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not
numbered among them.
001:048 For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
001:049 "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall
you take a census of them among the children of Israel;
001:050 but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony,
and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it.
They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its furnishings;
and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it.
001:051 When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down;
and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set
it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
001:052 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man
by his own camp, and every man by his own standard,
according to their divisions.
001:053 But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony,
that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children
of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle
of the Testimony."
001:054 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh
commanded Moses, so they did.
002:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
002:002 "The children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard,
with the banners of their fathers' houses: at a distance
from the tent of meeting shall they encamp around it."
002:003 Those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of
the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their divisions:
and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon
the son of Amminadab.
002:004 His division, and those who were numbered of them,
were seventy-four thousand six hundred.
002:005 Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar:
and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel
the son of Zuar.
002:006 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-four
thousand four hundred.
