1 El primer día del segundo mes del segundo año desde la salida de los israelitas de Egipto, el Señor dio las siguientes instrucciones a Moisés, que se encontraba en el santuario, en el desierto del Sinaí. 2 «Haz un censo de todos los hombres, mayores de veinte años, capaces de ir a la guerra. En la lista anota la tribu y familia a la que pertenezcan. Aarón y tú deberán organizar este trabajo, con la ayuda de los siguientes jefes de cada tribu. Tribu Jefe Rubén Elisur (hijo de Sedeúr); Simeón Selumiel (hijo de Zurisaday); Judá Naasón (hijo de Aminadab); Isacar Natanael (hijo de Zuar); Zabulón Eliab (hijo de Helón); hijos de José: Efraín Elisama (hijo de Amiud); Manasés Gamaliel (hijo de Pedasur); Benjamín Abidán (hijo de Gedeoni); Dan Ajiezer (hijo de Amisaday); Aser Paguiel (hijo de Ocrán); Gad Eliasaf (hijo de Deuel); Neftalí Ajira (hijo de Enán)». 16 Estos eran los jefes de tribu seleccionados de entre el pueblo. 17 El mismo día, Moisés, Aarón y los jefes de tribu que se acaban de mencionar convocaron a todos los hombres de Israel de más de veinte años, para que se inscribieran, indicando su tribu y familia, como el Señor le había dicho a Moisés. 20 La tabla resultante: Tribu Total Rubén (el hijo mayor de Jacob) 46.500 Simeón 59.300 Gad 45.650 Judá 74.600 Isacar 54.400 Zabulón 57.400 José: Efraín (hijo de José) 40.500 José: Manasés (hijo de José) 32.200 Benjamín 35.400 Dan 62.700 Aser 41.500 Neftalí 53.400 TOTAL 603.550 47 Esa cifra no incluía a los levitas, pues el Señor le había dicho a Moisés: «Excluye a toda la tribu de Leví, 50 porque los levitas tienen que hacerse cargo del trabajo del santuario y de su transporte. Tienen que vivir cerca del santuario, 51 y cuando este deba ser trasladado, los levitas deberán desmontarlo y montarlo. Si cualquiera otra persona lo toca, deberá ser ejecutada. 52 Cada tribu de Israel acampará por separado y tendrá su bandera propia. 53 Las tiendas de campaña de los levitas estarán situadas en torno al santuario para proteger al pueblo de la ira de Dios». 54 Así pues, todas las instrucciones que el Señor dio a Moisés se llevaron a cabo.
