1:3  from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: ye shall number them by their hosts, even thou and Aaron.

1:4  And with you there shall be a man of every tribe, every one head of his fathers' house.

1:5  And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur.

1:29  those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.

1:43  those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.

1:44  These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men; they were each one for his fathers' house.

1:45  And all those that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;

1:46  even all those that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

1:47  But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

1:48  And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:

1:49  'Howbeit the tribe of Levi thou shalt not number, neither shalt thou take the sum of them among the children of Israel;

1:50  but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over all that belongeth to it; they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

1:51  And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the common man that draweth nigh shall be put to death.

1:52  And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man with his own camp, and every man with his own standard, according to their hosts.

1:53  But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.'

1:54  Thus did the children of Israel; according to all that HaShem commanded Moses, so did they.
