< 民數記 1 >

1 以色列人出埃及地後,第二年二月初一日,耶和華在西奈的曠野、會幕中曉諭摩西說:
Yahweh spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the wilderness of Sinai. This happened on the first day of the second month during the second year after the people of Israel had come out from the land of Egypt. Yahweh said,
2 「你要按以色列全會眾的家室、宗族、人名的數目計算所有的男丁。
“Conduct a census of all the men of Israel in each clan, in their fathers' families. Count them by name. Count every male, each man
3 凡以色列中,從二十歲以外,能出去打仗的,你和亞倫要照他們的軍隊數點。
who is twenty years old or older. Count all who can fight as soldiers for Israel. You and Aaron must record the number of men in their armed groups.
4 每支派中必有一人作本支派的族長,幫助你們。
A man from each tribe, a clan head, must serve with you as his tribe's leader. Each leader must lead the men who will fight for his tribe.
5 他們的名字:屬呂便的,有示丟珥的兒子以利蓿;

16 這都是從會中選召的,各作本支派的首領,都是以色列軍中的統領。」
These were the men appointed from the people. They led their ancestors' tribes. They were the leaders of the clans in Israel.
17 於是,摩西、亞倫帶着這些按名指定的人,
Moses and Aaron took these men, who were recorded by name,
18 當二月初一日招聚全會眾。會眾就照他們的家室、宗族、人名的數目,從二十歲以外的,都述說自己的家譜。
and along with these men they assembled all the men of Israel on the first day of the second month. Then each man twenty years old and older identified his ancestry. He had to name the clans and families descended from his ancestors.

They counted 603,550 men.
47 利未人卻沒有按着支派數在其中,
But the men who were descended from Levi were not counted,
48 因為耶和華曉諭摩西說:
because Yahweh had said to Moses,
49 「惟獨利未支派你不可數點,也不可在以色列人中計算他們的總數。
“You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the total of the people of Israel.
50 只要派利未人管法櫃的帳幕和其中的器具,並屬乎帳幕的;他們要抬帳幕和其中的器具,並要辦理帳幕的事,在帳幕的四圍安營。
Instead, assign the Levites to care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees, and to care for all the furnishings in the tabernacle and for everything in it. The Levites must carry the tabernacle, and they must carry the tabernacle's furnishings. They must care for the tabernacle and make their camp around it.
51 帳幕將往前行的時候,利未人要拆卸;將支搭的時候,利未人要豎起。近前來的外人必被治死。
When the tabernacle is to move to another place, the Levites must take it down. When the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites must set it up. Any stranger who comes near the tabernacle must be killed.
52 以色列人支搭帳棚,要照他們的軍隊,各歸本營,各歸本纛。
When the people of Israel set up their tents, each man must do so near the banner that belongs to his armed group.
53 但利未人要在法櫃帳幕的四圍安營,免得忿怒臨到以色列會眾;利未人並要謹守法櫃的帳幕。」
However, the Levites must set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant decrees so that my anger does not come upon the people of Israel. The Levites must care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees.”
54 以色列人就這樣行。凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的,他們就照樣行了。
The people of Israel did all these things. They did everything that Yahweh commanded through Moses.
