Numbers 1 (WEBP)
[1] 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,
[2] “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,
[3] from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go out to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall count them by their divisions.
[4] With you there shall be a man of every tribe, each one head of his fathers’ house.
[5] These are the names of the men who shall stand with you: Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur.
[6] Of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
[7] Of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
[8] Of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar.
[9] Of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon.
[10] Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim: Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
[11] Of Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni.
[12] Of Dan: Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
[13] Of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran.
[14] Of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
[15] Of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan.”
[16] These are those who were called of the congregation, the princes§ of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads of the thousands of Israel.
[17] Moses and Aaron took these men who are mentioned by name.
[18] They assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they declared their ancestry by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, one by one.
[19] As Yahweh commanded Moses, so he counted them in the wilderness of Sinai.
[20] 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:
[21] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty-six thousand five hundred.
[22] Of the children of Simeon, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, those who were counted of it, 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:
[23] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
[24] Of the children of Gad, 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 out to war:
[25] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Gad, were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty.
[26] Of the children of Judah, 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 out to war:
[27] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Judah, were seventy-four thousand six hundred.
[28] Of the children of Issachar, 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 out to war:
[29] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.
[30] Of the children of Zebulun, 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 out to war:
[31] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
[32] Of the children of Joseph: of the children of Ephraim, 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 out to war:
[33] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred.
[34] Of the children of Manasseh, 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 out to war:
[35] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.
[36] Of the children of Benjamin, 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 out to war:
[37] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.
[38] Of the children of Dan, 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 out to war:
[39] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Dan, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
[40] Of the children of Asher, 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 out to war:
[41] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Asher, were forty-one thousand five hundred.
[42] 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 out to war:
[43] those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
[44] These are those who were counted, whom Moses and Aaron counted, and the twelve men who were princes of Israel, each one for his fathers’ house.
[45] So all those who were counted 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—
[46] all those who were counted were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty.
[47] But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not counted among them.
[48] For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[49] “Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;
[50] 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.
[51] 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.
[52] 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.
[53] 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. The Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
[54] Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they did.

[47] But the Levites H3881 after the tribe H4294 of their fathers H1 were not numbered H6485 (8719) among H8432 them.
[48] For the LORD H3068 had spoken H1696 (8762) unto Moses H4872, saying H559 (8800),
[49] Only thou shalt not number H6485 (8799) the tribe H4294 of Levi H3878, neither take H5375 (8799) the sum H7218 of them among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478:
[50] But thou shalt appoint H6485 (8685) the Levites H3881 over the tabernacle H4908 of testimony H5715, and over all the vessels H3627 thereof, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear H5375 (8799) the tabernacle H4908, and all the vessels H3627 thereof; and they shall minister H8334 (8762) unto it, and shall encamp H2583 (8799) round about H5439 the tabernacle H4908.
[51] And when the tabernacle H4908 setteth forward H5265 (8800), the Levites H3881 shall take it down H3381 (8686): and when the tabernacle H4908 is to be pitched H2583 (8800), the Levites H3881 shall set it up H6965 (8686): and the stranger H2114 (8801) that cometh nigh H7131 shall be put to death H4191 (8714).
[52] And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall pitch their tents H2583 (8804), every man H376 by his own camp H4264, and every man H376 by his own standard H1714, throughout their hosts H6635.
[53] But the Levites H3881 shall pitch H2583 (8799) round about H5439 the tabernacle H4908 of testimony H5715, that there be no wrath H7110 upon the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478: and the Levites H3881 shall keep H8104 (8804) the charge H4931 of the tabernacle H4908 of testimony H5715.
[54] And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 (8799) according to all that the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 (8765) Moses H4872, so did H6213 (8804) they.

[41] their numbered ones, for the tribe of Asher, are one and forty thousand and five hundred.
[42] Of the sons of Naphtali-their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host-
[43] their numbered ones, for the tribe of Naphtali, are three and fifty thousand and four hundred.
[44] These are those numbered, whom Moses numbered-Aaron also, and the princes of Israel, twelve men-each for the house of his fathers, they have been.
[45] And they are, all those numbered of the sons of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host in Israel,
[46] yea, all those numbered are six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty.
[47] And the Levites, for the tribe of their fathers, have not numbered themselves in their midst,
[48] seeing Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[49] ‘Only, the tribe of Levi thou dost not number, and their sum thou dost not take up in the midst of the sons of Israel;
[50] and thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all that it hath; they bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels, and they serve it; and round about the tabernacle they encamp.
[51] ‘And in the journeying of the tabernacle, the Levites take it down, and in the encamping of the tabernacle, the Levites raise it up; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.’
[52] And the sons of Israel have encamped, each by his camp, and each by his standard, by their hosts;
[53] and the Levites encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony; and there is no wrath on the company of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have kept the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.
[54] And the sons of Israel do according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses; so they have done.
