2
Take the sum of the whole assembly of the children of Israel , after their families , according to their fathers ' houses , by the number of the names , every male, according to their polls;
3
from twenty years and upward, all that go forth to military service in Israel : ye shall number them according to their hosts, thou and Aaron .
4
And with you there shall be a man for every tribe , a man who is the head of his father 's house .
5
And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: for Reuben , Elizur the son of Shedeur;

18
and gathered the whole assembly together on the first of the second month . And they declared their pedigrees after their families , according to their fathers ' houses , by the number of the names , from twenty years old and upward, according to their polls.

47
But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
48
For Jehovah had spoken to Moses , saying,
49
Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi , neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel .
50
But thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels ; and they shall serve it, and round about the tabernacle shall they encamp;
51
and when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down ; and when the tabernacle encampeth, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.
52
And the children of Israel shall encamp every man in his camp , and every man by his own standard , according to their hosts;
53
but the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there come not wrath upon the assembly of the children of Israel ; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
54
And the children of Israel did so; according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses , so did they.
