“Take a census of the whole congregation of the Israelites, by their clans and their ancestral houses, counting the names of every male, head by head.
In context
1Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month of the second year since they had come out of the land of Egypt. He said, 2“Take a census of the whole congregation of the Israelites, by their clans and their ancestral houses, counting the names of every male, head by head. 3You and Aaron shall number by their divisions everyone in Israel twenty years old or older who can serve in the army. 4With you there shall be one man from each tribe, each the head of his ancestral house.
