Numbers 1 · Parashat Bamidbar

AND the Lord spoke to Moshe in the wilderness of Sinay, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Miżrayim, saying,

Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Yisra᾽el, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, by the number of names, every male by their polls;

from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Yisra᾽el: thou and Aharon shall number them by their hosts.

And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.

And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of the tribe of Re᾽uven; Eliżur the son of Shede᾽ur.

Of Shim῾on; Shelumi᾽el the son of Żurishadday.

Of Yehuda; Naĥshon the son of ῾Amminadav.

and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

As the Lord commanded Moshe, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinay.

And the children of Re᾽uven, Yisra᾽el’s oldest son, their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Re᾽uven, were forty six thousand, five hundred.

Of the children of Shim῾on, their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, those that were numbered of them, according to the number of names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Yehuda, were seventy four thousand, six hundred.

Of the children of Menashshe, their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naftali, were fifty three thousand, four hundred.

These are those that were numbered, whom Moshe and Aharon numbered, and the princes of Yisra᾽el, being twelve men: each one represented the house of his fathers.

So were all those that were numbered of the children of Yisra᾽el, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Yisra᾽el;

all they that were numbered were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty.

But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

For the Lord had spoken to Moshe, saying,

Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, nor take the sum of them among the children of Yisra᾽el:

but thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels; and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

And when the tabernacle sets forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.

And the children of Yisra᾽el shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Yisra᾽el: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

And the children of Yisra᾽el did according to all that the Lord commanded Moshe, so they did.
