Números 10:1-36
The Lord said to Moses:“ Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out.When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.If only one is sounded, the leaders— the heads of the clans of Israel— are to assemble before you.When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.At the sounding of a second blast, the camps on the south are to set out. The blast will be the signal for setting out.To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets, but not with the signal for setting out.“ The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to blow the trumpets. This is to be a lasting ordinance for you and the generations to come.When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.Also at your times of rejoicing— your appointed festivals and New Moon feasts— you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle of the covenant law.Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran.They set out, this first time, at the Lord’s command through Moses.The divisions of the camp of Judah went first, under their standard. Nahshon son of Amminadab was in command.Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and Merarites, who carried it, set out.The divisions of the camp of Reuben went next, under their standard. Elizur son of Shedeur was in command.Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things. The tabernacle was to be set up before they arrived.The divisions of the camp of Ephraim went next, under their standard. Elishama son of Ammihud was in command.Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.Finally, as the rear guard for all the units, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was in command.Pagiel son of Okran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.Now Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law,“ We are setting out for the place about which the Lord said,‘ I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”He answered,“ No, I will not go; I am going back to my own land and my own people.”But Moses said,“ Please do not leave us. You know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the Lord gives us.”So they set out from the mountain of the Lord and traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them during those three days to find them a place to rest.The cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.Whenever the ark set out, Moses said,“ Rise up, Lord! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you.”Whenever it came to rest, he said,“ Return, Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel.” (niv)

Then Rachel said,“ God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son.” Because of this she named him Dan.Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.Then Rachel said,“ I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won.” So she named him Naphtali.When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her servant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.Then Leah said,“ What good fortune!” So she named him Gad.Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.Then Leah said,“ How happy I am! The women will call me happy.” So she named him Asher.During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah,“ Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”But she said to her,“ Wasn’t it enough that you took away my husband? Will you take my son’s mandrakes too?”“ Very well,” Rachel said,“ he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son’s mandrakes.”So when Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him.“ You must sleep with me,” she said.“ I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.God listened to Leah, and she became pregnant and bore Jacob a fifth son.Then Leah said,“ God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.Then Leah said,“ God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and enabled her to conceive.She became pregnant and gave birth to a son and said,“ God has taken away my disgrace.”She named him Joseph, and said,“ May the Lord add to me another son.” (niv)

Números 34:1-29
The Lord said to Moses,“ Command the Israelites and say to them:‘ When you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance is to have these boundaries:“‘ Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea,cross south of Scorpion Pass, continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.“‘ Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This will be your boundary on the west.“‘ For your northern boundary, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Horand from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the boundary will go to Zedad,continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.“‘ For your eastern boundary, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea.“‘ This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’”Moses commanded the Israelites:“ Assign this land by lot as an inheritance. The Lord has ordered that it be given to the nine- and- a- half tribes,because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.These two- and- a- half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”The Lord said to Moses,“ These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land.These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;Shemuel son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Simeon;Elidad son of Kislon, from the tribe of Benjamin;Bukki son of Jogli, the leader from the tribe of Dan;Hanniel son of Ephod, the leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;Kemuel son of Shiphtan, the leader from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph;Elizaphan son of Parnak, the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;Paltiel son of Azzan, the leader from the tribe of Issachar;Ahihud son of Shelomi, the leader from the tribe of Asher;Pedahel son of Ammihud, the leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

After the plague the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest,“ Take a census of the whole Israelite community by families— all those twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army of Israel.”So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said,“ Take a census of the men twenty years old or more, as the Lord commanded Moses.” These were the Israelites who came out of Egypt:The descendants of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel, were: through Hanok, the Hanokite clan; through Pallu, the Palluite clan;through Hezron, the Hezronite clan; through Karmi, the Karmite clan.These were the clans of Reuben; those numbered were 43,730.The son of Pallu was Eliab,and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram.

These were the clans of Dan:All of them were Shuhamite clans; and those numbered were 64,400.The descendants of Asher by their clans were: through Imnah, the Imnite clan; through Ishvi, the Ishvite clan; through Beriah, the Beriite clan;and through the descendants of Beriah: through Heber, the Heberite clan; through Malkiel, the Malkielite clan.( Asher had a daughter named Serah.)These were the clans of Asher; those numbered were 53,400.The descendants of Naphtali by their clans were: through Jahzeel, the Jahzeelite clan; through Guni, the Gunite clan;through Jezer, the Jezerite clan; through Shillem, the Shillemite clan.These were the clans of Naphtali; those numbered were 45,400.The total number of the men of Israel was 601,730.The Lord said to Moses,“ The land is to be allotted to them as an inheritance based on the number of names.To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one; each is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those listed.Be sure that the land is distributed by lot. What each group inherits will be according to the names for its ancestral tribe.Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”These were the Levites who were counted by their clans: through Gershon, the Gershonite clan; through Kohath, the Kohathite clan; through Merari, the Merarite clan.These also were Levite clans: the Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, the Korahite clan.( Kohath was the forefather of Amram;the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, who was born to the Levites in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses and their sister Miriam.Aaron was the father of Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died when they made an offering before the Lord with unauthorized fire.)All the male Levites a month old or more numbered 23,000. They were not counted along with the other Israelites because they received no inheritance among them.These are the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.Not one of them was among those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Desert of Sinai.For the Lord had told those Israelites they would surely die in the wilderness, and not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife said to her,“ Don’t despair, for you have another son.”As she breathed her last— for she was dying— she named her son Ben-Oni. But his father named him Benjamin.So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath( that is, Bethlehem).Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day that pillar marks Rachel’s tomb.Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard of it.

Números 1:1-54
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)
