The Lord spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the Desert of Sinai on the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites came out of Egypt. He said:“ Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.You and Aaron are to count according to their divisions all the men in Israel who are twenty years old or more and able to serve in the army.One man from each tribe, each of them the head of his family, is to help you.These are the names of the men who are to assist you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni;from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;from Asher, Pagiel son of Okran;from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”These were the men appointed from the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes. They were the heads of the clans of Israel.Moses and Aaron took these men whose names had been specified,and they called the whole community together on the first day of the second month. The people registered their ancestry by their clans and families, and the men twenty years old or more were listed by name, one by one,as the Lord commanded Moses. And so he counted them in the Desert of Sinai:From the descendants of Reuben the firstborn son of Israel: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Reuben was 46,500.From the descendants of Simeon: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were counted and listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Simeon was 59,300.From the descendants of Gad: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Gad was 45,650.From the descendants of Judah: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Judah was 74,600.From the descendants of Issachar: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Issachar was 54,400.From the descendants of Zebulun: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Zebulun was 57,400.From the sons of Joseph: From the descendants of Ephraim: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Ephraim was 40,500.From the descendants of Manasseh: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Manasseh was 32,200.From the descendants of Benjamin: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Benjamin was 35,400.From the descendants of Dan: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Dan was 62,700.From the descendants of Asher: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Asher was 41,500.From the descendants of Naphtali: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Naphtali was 53,400.These were the men counted by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family.All the Israelites twenty years old or more who were able to serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.The total number was 603,550.The ancestral tribe of the Levites, however, was not counted along with the others.The Lord had said to Moses:“ You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the census of the other Israelites.Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle of the covenant law— over all its furnishings and everything belonging to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they are to take care of it and encamp around it.Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it. Anyone else who approaches it is to be put to death.The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard.The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.”The Israelites did all this just as the Lord commanded Moses. (niv)

Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah.She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah.Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan; the descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites.The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.Abraham lived a hundred and seventy- five years.Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite,the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi.This is the account of the family line of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Sarah’s slave, Hagar the Egyptian, bore to Abraham.These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,Mishma, Dumah, Massa,Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah.These were the sons of Ishmael, and these are the names of the twelve tribal rulers according to their settlements and camps.Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty- seven years.

And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring— not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.As it is written:“ I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed— the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him,“ So shall your offspring be.” (niv)
