Numbers 1
1AGAIN the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, in the tabernacle of the testimony, on the first day of the second month, in the second year of their coming out of the land of Egypt, and said,
2Take ye the sum of the whole congregation of Israel, according to pedigrees, and according to the houses of their patriarchal families, and according to the number of their names, according to their poll,
3every male from twenty years old and upwards, every one who goeth out in the army of Israel; review them with their army.
4Thou and Aaron shall review them, and with you there shall be of the chiefs, one from each tribe.
5They shall be the chiefs of the patriarchal houses; and these are the names of the men who shall attend you.
6Of the Reubenites, Elisur, son of Sedur;
7of the children of Juda, Naasson, son of Aminadab;
8of the children of Issachar, Nathaniel, son of Sogar;

45And the whole review of the Israelites, comprehending their army from twenty years old and upwards,
46every one who went out to be marshalled in Israel, was six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
47But the Levites of the tribe of their father’s house, were not reviewed among the Israelites:
48for the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying,
49See that thou review not the tribe of Levi, nor take an account of them among the children of Israel.
50But thou shalt set the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the utensils thereof, and over all the things which are in it. They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its utensils, and they shall minister therein, and encamp about the tabernacle.
51And when the tabernacle is to remove, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, they shall set it up. And if any of another family come near, let him be put to death.
52And when the Israelites encamp, every man in his station, and every man according to his command, with their army,
53let the Levites encamp before them, around the tabernacle of the testimony, that there may be no lapse committed by the children of Israel; and that the Levites themselves may guard the tabernacle of the testimony.
54And when the Israelites had done according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.
