¹ These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai for the children of Israel.

² The LORD spoke [by special revelation] to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai in the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) on the first day of the second month in the second year after the[1] Israelites came out of the land of Egypt, saying,

³ Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families (clans), by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, every male,[2] head by head from twenty years old and upward, all in Israel who are able to go out to war. You and Aaron shall number them, army by army. And with you there shall be a man [to assist you] from each tribe, each being the head of his father's household. These then are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from [the tribe of] Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; from [the tribe of] Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; from [the tribe of] Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab; from [the tribe of] Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar; from [the tribe of] Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon; from the sons (descendants) of Joseph: from [the tribe of][3] Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from [the tribe of] Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; from [the tribe of] Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni; from [the tribe of] Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; from [the tribe of] Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran; from [the tribe of] Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel; from [the tribe of] Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan. These men were the ones called from the congregation, the leaders of their fathers' (ancestors') tribes; they were the heads of thousands [the highest ranking officers] in Israel.

⁴ So Moses and Aaron took these men who were designated by name,

⁵ and assembled all the congregation on the first day of the second month, and they registered by ancestry in their families (clans), by their fathers' households, according to the number of names from twenty years old and upward, head by head,

⁶ just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So he numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai.

⁷ The sons of Reuben, Israel's (Jacob's) firstborn, their generations, by their families (clans), by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go to war:

⁸ those of the tribe of Reuben numbered 46,500.
