1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, saying,
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;
6 for Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;
7 for Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;
8 for Issachar, Nethaneel the son of Zuar;
9 for Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;
10 for the children of Joseph: for Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; for Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;
11 for Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;
12 for Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;
13 for Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran;
14 for Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel;
15 for Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.
16 These were those summoned of the assembly, princes of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the thousands of Israel.
17 And Moses and Aaron took these men who are expressed by their names,
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.
19 As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
20 And the sons of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, according to their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
21 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty-six thousand five hundred.
22 Of the sons of Simeon: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, those that were numbered of them, by the number of the names, according to their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
23 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
24 Of the sons of Gad: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
25 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Gad, were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.
26 Of the sons of Judah: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
27 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Judah, were seventy-four thousand six hundred.
28 Of the sons of Issachar: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
29 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.
30 Of the sons of Zebulun: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
31 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
32 Of the sons of Joseph: of the children of Ephraim: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
33 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred.
34 Of the children of Manasseh: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
35 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.
36 Of the sons of Benjamin: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
37 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.
38 Of the sons of Dan: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
39 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
40 Of the sons of Asher: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
41 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Asher, were forty-one thousand five hundred.
42 Of the sons of Naphtali: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:
43 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
44 These are those that were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, the twelve men: each one was for the house of his fathers.
45 And all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, according to their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service in Israel,
46 all they that were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
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.
1 No primeiro dia do segundo mês, no segundo ano depois da saída do Egito, o Senhor disse a Moisés no deserto do Sinai, na tenda de reunião:
2 "Fazei o recenseamento de toda a assembléia dos filhos de Israel segundo suas famílias, suas casas patriarcais, contando nominalmente por cabeça todos os varões da idade de vinte anos para cima,
3 todos os israelitas aptos para o serviço das armas: fareis o recenseamento deles segundo os seus grupos, tu e Aarão.
4 Assistir-vos-á um homem de cada tribo, um chefe da casa de seu pai.
5 Eis os nomes daqueles que vos hão de acompanhar: de Rubem, Elisur, filho de Sedeur;
6 de Simeão, Salamiel, filho de Surisadai;
7 de Judá, Naasson, filho de Aminadab;
8 de Issacar, Natanael, filho de Suar;
9 de Zabulon, Eliab, filho de Elom;
10 dos filhos de José: de Efraim, Elisama, filho de Amiud; de Manassés, Gamaliel, filho de Fadassur;
11 de Benjamim, Abidã, filho de Gedeão;
12 de Dã, Aieser, filho de Amisadai;
13 de Aser, Fegiel, filho de Ocrã;
14 de Gad, Eliasaf, filho de Duel;
15 de Neftali, Aira, filho de Enã".
16 Tais são os que foram escolhidos da assembléia. Eram os príncipes de suas tribos patriarcais, chefes de milhares em Israel.
17 Depois de se terem ajuntado esses homens designados pelos seus nomes, Moisés e Aarão
18 convocaram toda a assembléia no primeiro dia do segundo mês. Efetuaram o recenseamento por clãs e famílias, contando nome por nome as pessoas da idade de vinte anos para cima,
19 assim como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés. Fez-se, pois, o recenseamento no deserto do Sinai.
20 Dos filhos de Rubem, primogênito de Israel, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes por cabeça, todos os varões da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
21 foram recenseados 46.500 na tribo de Rubem.
22 Dos filhos de Simeão, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
23 foram recenseados 59.300 na tribo de Simeão.
24 Dos filhos de Gad, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
25 foram recenseados 45.650 na tribo de Gad.
26 Dos filhos de Judá, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
27 foram recenseados 74.600 na tribo de Judá.
28 Dos filhos de Issacar, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
29 foram recenseados 54.400 na tribo de Issacar.
30 Dos filhos de Zabulon, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
31 foram recenseados 57.400 na tribo de Zabulon.
32 Entre os filhos de José, os filhos de Efraim, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
33 foram recenseados 40.500 na tribo de Efraim.
34 Dos filhos de Manassés, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
35 foram recenseados 32.200 na tribo de Manassés.
36 Dos filhos de Benjamim, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
37 foram recenseados 35.400 na tribo de Benjamim.
38 Dos filhos de Dã, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
39 foram recenseados 62.700 na tribo de Dã.
40 Dos filhos de Aser, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
41 foram recenseados 41.500 na tribo de Aser.
42 Dos filhos de Neftali, seus descendentes segundo suas famílias e suas casas patriarcais, contando seus nomes da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
43 foram recenseados 53.400 na tribo de Neftali.
44 Estes são os que foram recenseados por Moisés e Aarão com os príncipes de Israel, em número de doze, um homem de cada casa patriarcal.
45 Os israelitas recenseados por famílias, da idade de vinte anos para cima - todos os que eram aptos para o serviço das armas -,
46 somaram o total de 603.550.
47 Quanto aos levitas, porém, não foram contados com os demais, segundo suas tribos patriarcais.
48 O Senhor havia dito, com efeito, a Moisés:
49 "Não farás o recenseamento da tribo de Levi, nem porás a soma deles com os filhos de Israel.
50 Confia-lhes o cuidado do tabernáculo do testemunho, de todos os seus utensílios e de tudo o que lhe pertence. Levarão o tabernáculo e todos os seus utensílios, farão o seu serviço e acamparão em volta do tabernáculo.
51 Quando se tiver de partir, os levitas desmontarão o tabernáculo e o levantarão quando se tiver de acampar. O estrangeiro que se aproximar dele será punido de morte.
52 Os israelitas acamparão cada um em seu respectivo acampamento e cada um perto de sua bandeira, segundo suas turmas.
53 Quanto aos levitas, porém, acamparão em torno do tabernáculo do testemunho, para que não suceda explodir a minha cólera contra a assembléia dos israelitas; ademais, os levitas terão a guarda do tabernáculo do testemunho".
54 Os israelitas fizeram tudo o que o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés; assim o fizeram.
