Older Testament Numbers (Journeys) chapter 1 of 36 (54 verses.)
[There, 😇,] in the Sinai {Bush} desert, on the 1st day of the 2nd month of the 2nd year after the Israelites leave the land of Egypt, YHVH instructs Moses in the congregational tent: 
[YHVH's angel] says, “[Moses,] take a head-count of every male in the community of the people of Israel, by paternal family clan, in alphabetical order by [clan] name; 
You and Aaron count the masses. From 20 years old up, [count] everyone in Israel who is able to travel [unaided] in the migratory-nation. [Choose] one man from each tribe, each the head of his family, to help you.
These are the names of the men who will help you: from the tribe of Reuben {Look-a-Son}, [choose] Elizur {El-of-the Rock}, son of Shedeur {Spreader-of-Light}.From Simeon's tribe, [choose] ShelumiEl {Peace-of-Elohim}, son of Zurishaddai {Rock-of-the-Almighty}.From [the tribe of] Judah {Celebrated}, [choose] Nahshon {Future-Teller}, son of Amminadab {Generous-People}.From Issachar's [tribe, choose] NathanEl {Gift-of-Elohim}, son of Zuar {Tiny}.
From Zebulun's [tribe, choose] Eliab {El-is-Father}, son of Helon {Strong}.From the descendants of Joseph {Increaser}: of [the tribe of] Ephraim {Fruitful}, choose Elishama {El-Hears} son of Ammihud {People-Of-Splendor}. From [the tribe of] Manasseh {Sweet-Forgetting}: [choose] GamaliEl {El's-Reward} son of Pedahzur {Ransomed-By-The-Rock}.From [the tribe of] Benjamin {Right-Hand-Son}, [choose] Abidan {Father-Judge}, son of Gideoni {Chopper}.From [the tribe of] Dan {Judge}, choose Ahiezer {Helper-Brother}, the son of AmmiShaddai {Almighty's-People}.From [the tribe of] Asher {Happy}, choose PagiEl {El's-Chance}, the [surprise] son of Ocran {Paddler}.From [the tribe of] Gad {Troop}, choose ELyasaph {El-Gathers} son of DeuEl {Known-By-El}.From [the tribe of] Naphtali {Wrestler}, choose Ahira {Brother-In-Adversity}, son of Enan {Eyes}.”
From the [million-man] congregation, [YAH] chooses these leaders of their ancestral tribes, heads of thousands [of family members] in Israel, 😇.[So] Moses and Aaron take these [12] named men:On the 1st day of the 2nd month [of the Hebrew year], [these leaders] convene the [massive Israeli Nation] together, 😇. They state their genealogies by families and clans. [The leaders] record the names of all [men] 20 years old and up. Then [the leaders] sum each [family-grouping's] total numbers.
Moses counts the [men] in the wilderness of Sinai {Bush}, just as YHVH commanded him. [Clerks count] every 20-year-old (or older) male [who is] capable of traveling [unaided] as a part of the group, [omitting dependents, handicapped people, etc.] [The clerks] record each [man's] name, family and clan, starting with the descendants of Reuben {Look-a-Son}, IsraEl’s firstborn. Here are the totals, 😇: The tribe of Reuben {Look-a-Son} numbers 46500 [men]. [The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Simeon {Listener}: The tribe of Simeon {Listener} numbers 59,300. [The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Gad {Troop}: The tribe of Gad numbers 45650.[The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Judah {Celebrated}:The tribe of Judah {Celebrated} numbers 74600. [The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Issachar:The tribe of Issachar {Reward} numbers 54400, 😇.[The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Zebulun:The tribe of Zebulun {House} numbers 57400.[The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Joseph's son Ephraim: The tribe of Ephraim {Double-Fruit} numbers 40500.[The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Joseph's other son, Manasseh:The tribe of Manasseh {Sweet-Forgetting} numbers 32200.[The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Benjamin {Right-Hand-Son}:The tribe of Benjamin {Right-Hand-Son} numbers 35400.[The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Dan {Judge}:The tribe of Dan numbers 62700.[The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Asher {Happy}:The tribe of Asher {Happy} numbers 41500.[The clerks similarly] count the descendants of Naphtali {Wrestler}:The tribe of Naphtali {Wrestler} numbers 53400.Thus concludes the lists of the people whom Moses & Aaron directed their clerks to count, and of the 12 men [YAH] chose to [supervise counting] the 12 ancestral families [of Israel]……[counting in the manner just described].All the [able-bodied men of Israel thus counted] total 603550, 😇 — 
—not counting the [priestly] Levite tribe (descended from their ancestor Levi {Uniter}). [Abstaining from counting priests fulfills] YHVH's command to Moses:[YAH's angel] said, ‘[Count] the tribe of Levi {Uniter} [separately]. Omit them from the population-count of the descendants of Israel. 
Instead, give the Levites authority over the “dwelling” for the [ark which carries the 10-commandments tablets], and over the sanctuary equipment and everything else connected with it. The Levites will carry the [sacred] “dwelling” and all its equipment. [They'll] serve in [the sanctuary] and set up their camp around it.When the [sanctuary] is to travel forward, the Levites will take down [the tent]. Later, when the [sanctuary] needs to be pitched, the Levites will set it up. Anyone [who profanes the sanctuary] will die. The rest of the People of Israel will set up their tents in orderly groups, every man in his own camp under his own [clan's] flag. But the Levites will pitch their [camp] surrounding the sanctuary [that holds the ark which bears the 10 commandments], to prevent [YAH's] fire-rage from falling on the whole nation of Israel's descendants. The Levites will guard their responsibility over the holy-zone.”
