Numbers 1:1-54
1
On the first day of the second month in the second year after the people of Israel left Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses there in the Tent of his presence in the Sinai Desert. He said,
2
"You and Aaron are to take a census of the people of Israel by clans and families. List the names of all the men
3
twenty years old or older who are fit for military service.
4
Ask one clan chief from each tribe to help you."
5
These are the men, leaders within their tribes, who were chosen from the community for this work: (Tribe: Clan chief); Reuben: Elizur son of Shedeur; Simeon: Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai; Judah: Nahshon son of Amminadab; Issachar: Nethanel son of Zuar; Zebulun: Eliab son of Helon; Ephraim: Elishama son of Ammihud; Manasseh: Gamaliel son of Pedahzur; Benjamin: Abidan son of Gideoni; Dan: Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai; Asher: Pagiel son of Ochran; Gad: Eliasaph son of Deuel; Naphtali: Ahira son of Enan
17
With the help of these twelve men Moses and Aaron
18
called together the whole community on the first day of the second month and registered all the people by clans and families. The names of all the men twenty years old or older were recorded and counted,
19
as the LORD had commanded. In the Sinai Desert, Moses registered the people.
20
The men twenty years old or older who were fit for military service were registered by name according to clan and family, beginning with the tribe of Reuben, Jacob's oldest son. The totals were as follows: (Tribe: Number); Reuben: 46,500; Simeon: 59,300; Gad: 45,650; Judah: 74,600; Issachar: 54,400; Zebulun: 57,400; Ephraim: 40,500; Manasseh: 32,200; Benjamin: 35,400; Dan: 62,700; Asher: 41,500; Naphtali: 53,400; Total: 603,550
47
The Levites were not registered with the other tribes,
48
because the LORD had said to Moses,
49
"When you take a census of the men fit for military service, do not include the tribe of Levi.
50
Instead, put the Levites in charge of the Tent of my presence and all its equipment. They shall carry it and its equipment, serve in it, and set up their camp around it.
51
Whenever you move your camp, the Levites shall take the Tent down and set it up again at each new campsite. Anyone else who comes near the Tent shall be put to death.
52
The rest of the Israelites shall set up camp, company by company, each man with his own group and under his own banner.
53
But the Levites shall camp around the Tent to guard it, so that no one may come near and cause my anger to strike the community of Israel."
54
So the people of Israel did everything that the LORD had commanded Moses.
Numbers 10:1-36
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2
"Make two trumpets of hammered silver to use for calling the people together and for breaking camp.
3
When long blasts are sounded on both trumpets, the whole community is to gather around you at the entrance to the Tent of my presence.
4
But when only one trumpet is sounded, then only the leaders of the clans are to gather around you.
5
When short blasts are sounded, the tribes camped on the east will move out.
6
When short blasts are sounded a second time, the tribes on the south will move out. So short blasts are to be sounded to break camp,
7
but in order to call the community together, long blasts are to be sounded.
8
The trumpets are to be blown by Aaron's sons, the priests. "The following rule is to be observed for all time to come.
9
When you are at war in your land, defending yourselves against an enemy who has attacked you, sound the signal for battle on these trumpets. I, the LORD your God, will help you and save you from your enemies.
10
Also on joyful occasions---at your New Moon Festivals and your other religious festivals---you are to blow the trumpets when you present your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings. Then I will help you. I am the LORD your God."
11
On the twentieth day of the second month in the second year after the people left Egypt, the cloud over the Tent of the LORD's presence lifted,
12
and the Israelites started on their journey out of the Sinai Desert. The cloud came to rest in the wilderness of Paran.
13
They began to march at the command of the LORD through Moses,
14
and each time they moved, they were in the same order. Those under the banner of the division led by the tribe of Judah started out first, company by company, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.
15
Nethanel son of Zuar was in command of the tribe of Issachar,
16
and Eliab son of Helon was in command of the tribe of Zebulun.
17
Then the Tent would be taken down, and the clans of Gershon and Merari, who carried it, would start out.
18
Next, those under the banner of the division led by the tribe of Reuben would start out, company by company, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.
19
Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was in command of the tribe of Simeon,
20
and Eliasaph son of Deuel was in command of the tribe of Gad.
21
Then the Levite clan of Kohath would start out, carrying the sacred objects. By the time they arrived at the next camp, the Tent had been set up again.
22
Next, those under the banner of the division led by the tribe of Ephraim would start out, company by company, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.
23
Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was in command of the tribe of Manasseh,
24
and Abidan son of Gideoni was in command of the tribe of Benjamin.
25
Finally, those under the banner of the division led by the tribe of Dan, serving as the rear guard of all the divisions, would start out, company by company, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.
26
Pagiel son of Ochran was in command of the tribe of Asher,
27
and Ahira son of Enan was in command of the tribe of Naphtali.
28
This, then, was the order of march, company by company, whenever the Israelites broke camp and set out.
29
Moses said to his brother-in-law Hobab son of Jethro the Midianite, "We are about to start out for the place which the LORD said he would give us. He has promised to make Israel prosperous, so come with us, and we will share our prosperity with you."
30
Hobab answered, "No, I am going back to my native land."
31
"Please don't leave us," Moses said. "You know where we can camp in the wilderness, and you can be our guide.
32
If you come with us, we will share with you all the blessings that the LORD gives us."
33
When the people left Sinai, the holy mountain, they traveled three days. The LORD's Covenant Box always went ahead of them to find a place for them to camp.
34
As they moved on from each camp, the cloud of the LORD was over them by day.
35
Whenever the Covenant Box started out, Moses would say, "Arise, LORD; scatter your enemies and put to flight those who hate you!"
36
And whenever it stopped, he would say, "Return, LORD, to the thousands of families of Israel."
Numbers 26:1-65
1
After the epidemic the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron,
2
"Take a census by families of the whole community of Israel, of all men twenty years old or older who are fit for military service."
3
Moses and Eleazar obeyed and called together all the men of that age group. They assembled in the plains of Moab across the Jordan River from Jericho. These were the Israelites who came out of Egypt:
5
The tribe of Reuben (Reuben was the oldest son of Jacob): the clans of Hanoch, Pallu,
7
These clans numbered 43,730 men.
8
The descendants of Pallu were Eliab
9
and his sons Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. (These are the Dathan and Abiram who were chosen by the community. They defied Moses and Aaron and joined the followers of Korah when they rebelled against the LORD.
10
The ground opened and swallowed them, and they died with Korah and his followers when fire destroyed 250 men; they became a warning to the people.
11
But the sons of Korah were not killed.)
12
The tribe of Simeon: the clans of Nemuel, Jamin, Jachin,
14
These clans numbered 22,200 men.
15
The tribe of Gad: the clans of Zephon, Haggi, Shuni,
18
These clans numbered 40,500 men.
19
The tribe of Judah: the clans of Shelah, Perez, Zerah, Hezron, and Hamul. (Two of Judah's sons, Er and Onan, had died in the land of Canaan.)
22
These clans numbered 76,500 men.
23
The tribe of Issachar: the clans of Tola, Puah,
25
These clans numbered 64,300 men.
26
The tribe of Zebulun: the clans of Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
27
These clans numbered 60,500 men.
28
The tribes of Joseph, who was the father of two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
29
The tribe of Manasseh. Machir son of Manasseh was the father of Gilead, and the following clans traced their ancestry to Gilead:
30
the clans of Iezer, Helek,
33
Zelophehad son of Hepher had no sons, but only daughters; their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
34
These clans numbered 52,700 men.
35
The tribe of Ephraim: the clans of Shuthelah, Becher, and Tahan.
36
The clan of Eran traced its descent from Shuthelah.
37
These clans numbered 32,500 men. These are the clans descended from Joseph.
38
The tribe of Benjamin: the clans of Bela, Ashbel, Ahiram,
39
Shephupham, and Hupham.
40
The clans of Ard and Naaman traced their descent from Bela.
41
These clans numbered 45,600 men.
42
The tribe of Dan: the clan of Shuham,
43
which numbered 64,400 men.
44
The tribe of Asher: the clans of Imnah, Ishvi, and Beriah.
45
The clans of Heber and Malchiel traced their descent from Beriah.
46
Asher had a daughter named Serah.
47
These clans numbered 53,400 men.
48
The tribe of Naphtali: the clans of Jahzeel, Guni,
50
These clans numbered 45,400 men.
51
The total number of the Israelite men was 601,730.
52
The LORD said to Moses,
53
"Divide the land among the tribes, according to their size.
54
Divide the land by drawing lots, and give a large share to a large tribe and a small one to a small tribe."
57
The tribe of Levi consisted of the clans of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
58
Their descendants included the subclans of Libni, Hebron, Mahli, Mushi, and Korah. Kohath was the father of Amram,
59
who was married to Levi's daughter Jochebed, who was born in Egypt. She bore Amram two sons, Aaron and Moses, and a daughter, Miriam.
60
Aaron had four sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61
Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unholy fire to the LORD.
62
The male Levites who were one month old or older numbered 23,000. They were listed separately from the rest of the Israelites, because they were not given any property in Israel.
63
All these clans were listed by Moses and Eleazar when they took a census of the Israelites in the plains of Moab across the Jordan River from Jericho.
64
There was not even one man left among those whom Moses and Aaron had listed in the first census in the Sinai Desert.
65
The LORD had said that all of them would die in the wilderness, and except for Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun they all did.
Numbers 34:1-29
2
the following instructions for the people of Israel: "When you enter Canaan, the land which I am giving you, the borders of your territory will be as follows.
3
The southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. It will begin on the east at the southern end of the Dead Sea.
4
Then it will turn southward toward Akrabbim Pass and continue on through Zin as far south as Kadesh Barnea. Then it will turn northwest to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon,
5
where it will turn toward the valley at the border of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean.
6
"The western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7
"The northern border will follow a line from the Mediterranean to Mount Hor
8
and from there to Hamath Pass. It will continue to Zedad
9
and to Ziphron, and will end at Hazar Enan.
10
"The eastern border will follow a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11
It will then go south to Harbel, east of Ain, and on to the hills on the eastern shore of Lake Galilee,
12
then south along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea. "These will be the four borders of your land."
13
So Moses said to the Israelites, "This is the land that you will receive by drawing lots, the land that the LORD has assigned to the nine and one-half tribes.
14
The tribes of Reuben and Gad and the eastern half of Manasseh have received their property, divided according to their families,
15
on the eastern side of the Jordan, opposite Jericho."
16
The LORD said to Moses,
17
"Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun will divide the land for the people.
18
Take also one leader from each tribe to help them divide it."
19
These are the men the LORD chose: (Tribe: Leader); Judah: Caleb son of Jephunneh; Simeon: Shelumiel son of Ammihud; Benjamin: Elidad son of Chislon; Dan: Bukki son of Jogli; Manasseh: Hanniel son of Ephod; Ephraim: Kemuel son of Shiphtan; Zebulun: Elizaphan son of Parnach; Issachar: Paltiel son of Azzan; Asher: Ahihud son of Shelomi; Naphtali: Pedahel son of Ammihud
29
These are the men that the LORD assigned to divide the property for the people of Israel in the land of Canaan.
