در روز اولِ ماه دوم از سال دوم، بعد از بیرون آمدن قوم اسرائیل از مصر، زمانی که قوم در بیابان سینا اردو زده بودند، خداوند در خیمهٔ ملاقات به موسی فرمود: 1
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, saying:
«تو و هارون به کمک رهبران هر قبیله، قوم اسرائیل را برحسب قبیله و خاندانشان سرشماری کنید و تمام مردان بیست ساله و بالاتر را که قادر به جنگیدن هستند بشمارید.» رهبرانی که از هر قبیله برای این کار تعیین شدند عبارت بودند از: الیصور (پسر شدی‌ئور)، از قبیلهٔ رئوبین؛ شلومی‌ئیل (پسر صوریشدای)، از قبیلهٔ شمعون؛ نحشون (پسر عمیناداب)، از قبیلهٔ یهودا؛ نتنائیل (پسر صوغر)، از قبیلهٔ یساکار؛ الی‌آب (پسر حیلون)، از قبیله زبولون؛ الیشمع (پسر عمیهود)، از قبیلهٔ افرایم، پسر یوسف؛ جملی‌ئیل (پسر فدهصور)، از قبیلهٔ منسی، پسر یوسف؛ ابیدان (پسر جدعونی)، از قبیلهٔ بنیامین؛ اخیعزر (پسر عمیشدای)، از قبیلهٔ دان؛ فجعی‌ئیل (پسر عکران)، از قبیلهٔ اشیر؛ الیاساف (پسر دعوئیل)، از قبیلهٔ جاد؛ اخیرع (پسر عینان)، از قبیلهٔ نفتالی. 2
'Take ye up the sum of all the company of the sons of Israel by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names — every male by their polls;
3
from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host in Israel, ye do number them by their hosts, thou and Aaron;
4
and with you there is a man for a tribe, each is a head to the house of his fathers.
5
'And these [are] the names of the men who stand with you: 'For Reuben — Elizur son of Shedeur.

اینها رهبرانی بودند که از میان قوم اسرائیل برای این کار انتخاب شدند. 16
These [are] those called of the company, princes of the tribes of their fathers; they [are] heads of the thousands of Israel.
در همان روز موسی و هارون همراه رهبران قبایل، تمام مردان بیست ساله و بالاتر را برای اسم‌نویسی فرا خواندند و همان‌طور که خداوند به موسی امر فرموده بود هر مرد برحسب خاندان و خانواده‌اش اسم‌نویسی شد. 17
And Moses taketh — Aaron also — these men, who were defined by name,
18
and all the company they assembled on the first of the second month, and they declare their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names from a son of twenty years and upward, by their polls,
19
as Jehovah hath commanded Moses; and he numbereth them in the wilderness of Sinai.

46

این سرشماری شامل مردان لاوی نمی‌شد، چون خداوند به موسی فرموده بود: «تمام قبیلهٔ لاوی را از خدمت نظام معاف کن و ایشان را در این سرشماری منظور نکن؛ 47
And the Levites, for the tribe of their fathers, have not numbered themselves in their midst,
48
seeing Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
49
'Only, the tribe of Levi thou dost not number, and their sum thou dost not take up in the midst of the sons of Israel;
زیرا وظیفهٔ لاویان انجام امور خیمهٔ عبادت، و جابه‌جایی آن است. ایشان باید در اطراف خیمهٔ عبادت زندگی کنند. 50
and thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all that it hath; they bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels, and they serve it; and round about the tabernacle they encamp.
هنگام جابه‌جایی خیمهٔ عبادت لاویان باید آن را جمع کنند و دوباره آن را بر پا سازند. هر کس دیگری به آن دست بزند کشته خواهد شد. 51
'And in the journeying of the tabernacle, the Levites take it down, and in the encamping of the tabernacle, the Levites raise it up; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.'
هر یک از قبایل اسرائیل باید دارای اردوگاه جداگانه‌ای بوده، پرچم خاص خود را داشته باشند. 52
And the sons of Israel have encamped, each by his camp, and each by his standard, by their hosts;
لاویان باید گرداگرد خیمهٔ عبادت خیمه زنند تا مبادا کسی به خیمهٔ عبادت نزدیک شده، سبب نازل شدن غضب خداوند بر جماعت بنی‌اسرائیل شود.» 53
and the Levites encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony; and there is no wrath on the company of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have kept the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.
پس قوم اسرائیل آنچه را که خداوند به موسی امر فرموده بود، انجام دادند. 54
And the sons of Israel do according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses; so they have done.
