1599 Geneva Bible
The Fourth Book of Moses, called [a]Numbers
1 2 Moses and Aaron with the twelve princes of the tribes are commanded of the Lord to number them that are able to go to war. 49 The Levites are exempted for the service of the Lord.
1 The Lord spake again unto Moses in the wilderness of [b]Sinai, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, in the first day of the [c]second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 (A)Take ye the sum of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, after their families and households of their fathers, with the number of their names: to wit, all the males, [d]man by man:
3 From twenty years old and above, all that go forth to the war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them throughout their armies.
