Among the children of Naphtali: their generation in their
kindreds and houses of their fathers (when their names were told)
from twenty years and above, whatsoever was mete to war: were
numbered in the tribe of Naphtali fifty three thousand and four
hundred. These are the numbers which Moses and Aaron numbered with
the twelve princes of Israel: of every house of their fathers a
man. And all the numbers of the children of Israel, in the houses
of their fathers, from twenty years and above, whatsoever was mete
for the war in Israel, drew unto the sum of six hundred [and
three] thousand, five hundred and fifty. But the Levites in the
tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. And the LORD
spake unto Moses saying: only see that thou number not the tribe
of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of
Israel. But thou shalt appoint the Levites unto the habitation of
witness, and to all the apparel thereof and unto all that longeth
thereto. For they shall bear the tabernacle and all the ordinance
thereof, and they shall minister it and shall pitch their tents
round about it. And when the tabernacle goeth forth the Levites
shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is pitched, they shall
set it up: for if any stranger come near, he shall die.
