The firstborn of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, ¹⁴ Mishma, Dumah, Massa, ¹⁵ Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. ¹⁶ These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names by their villages and by their encampments—12 leaders according to their tribes. ¹⁷ Now these are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years.

¹ Now these are the descendants of Esau (that is, Edom). ² Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah, daughter of Elon, the Hittite, and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite, ³ and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth. ⁴ And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz; and Basemath bore Reuel; ⁵ and Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. ⁶ And Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the persons of his household, and his sheep and goats, and all his cattle, and all the goods that he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to a land away from his brother Jacob. ⁷ For their possessions were _⌊too many to live together_⌋,* so that the land of their sojourning was not able to support them on account of their livestock. ⁸ So Esau dwelled in the hill country of Seir (Esau, that is Edom). ⁹ Now these are the descendants of Esau, the father of Edom, in the hill country of Seir. ¹⁰ These are the names of the sons of Esau: Eliphaz, the son of Adah, the wife of Esau; Reuel, the son of Basemath, the wife of Esau. ¹¹ The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. ¹² (Now Timnah was the concubine of Eliphaz, the son of Esau. And she bore Amalek to Eliphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, the wife of Esau. ¹³ Now these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau. ¹⁴ Now these are the sons of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon, the wife of Esau: She bore to Esau Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. ¹⁵ These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn of Esau: the chiefs of Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz, ¹⁶ Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. These are the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Adah. ¹⁷ Now these are the sons Reuel, the son of Esau: the chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Basemath, the wife of Esau. ¹⁸ Now these are the sons of Oholibamah, the wife of Esau: the chiefs Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the chiefs born of Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the wife of Esau. ¹⁹ These are the sons of Esau, and these are their chiefs (that is, Edom). ²⁰ These are the sons of Seir, the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, ²¹ Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom. ²² And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam. And Lotan's sister was Timna. ²³ Now these are the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. ²⁴ Now these are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah—he is Anah who found the hot springs in the desert while he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father. ²⁵ Now these are the sons of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. ²⁶ Now these are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Keran. ²⁷ These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. ²⁸ These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran. ²⁹ These are the chiefs of the Horites: the chiefs Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, ³⁰ Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir. ³¹ Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the _⌊Israelites_⌋.* ³² Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom. And the name of his city was Dinhabah. ³³ And Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zerah from Bozrah, reigned in his place. ³⁴ And Jobab died, and Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. ³⁵ And Husham died, and Hadad, son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the field* of Moab reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith. ³⁶ And Hadad died, and Samlah from Masrekah reigned in his place. ³⁷ And Samlah died, and Shaul from Rehoboth on the Euphrates* reigned in his place. ³⁸ And Shaul died, and Baal-Hanan, the son of Acbor, reigned in his place. ³⁹ And Baal-Hanan the son of Acbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Pau, and the name of his wife was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab. ⁴⁰ Now these are the names of the chiefs of Esau according to their families, according to their dwelling places, by their names: the chiefs Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, ⁴¹ Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, ⁴² Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, ⁴³ Magdiel, and Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of Edom) according to their settlements in the land of their possession.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the tent of assembly, on the first of the month, in the second year _⌊after they came out_⌋* of the land of Egypt, saying, ² "_⌊Take a census of_⌋* the entire community of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* according to their clans and _⌊their families_⌋,* according to the number of names, every male individually ³ from _⌊twenty years old_⌋* and above, everyone in Israel who is able to go to war. You and Aaron must muster them* for their wars. ⁴ A man from each tribe will be with you, each man the head of _⌊his family_⌋.* ⁵ And these are the names of the men who will _⌊assist you_⌋:* from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur; ⁶ from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai; ⁷ from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab; ⁸ from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar; ⁹ from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon. ¹⁰ From the descendants of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur. ¹¹ From Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni; ¹² from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai; ¹³ from Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran; ¹⁴ from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel; ¹⁵ and from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan." ¹⁶ These are the ones summoned from the community, the leaders of their ancestors'* tribes; they are the heads of Israel's clans. ¹⁷ So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name, ¹⁸ and they summoned the entire community on the first day of the second month.

They will carry the tabernacle and all its vessels, and they will care for it; and they will camp around the tabernacle. ⁵¹ And when the tabernacle is set out, the Levites will _⌊take it down_⌋,* and when encamping the tabernacle the Levites will set it up; the stranger* that approaches it will be put to death. ⁵² The _⌊Israelites_⌋* will encamp, each in their own camp, and each by their* own banner according to their divisions. ⁵³ But the Levites will encamp around the tabernacle of the testimony,* and there will not be wrath on the community of the _⌊Israelites_⌋;* and the Levites will keep the requirements of the tabernacle of the testimony."* ⁵⁴ And the _⌊Israelites_⌋* did thus; they did everything that Yahweh commanded Moses.

¹ * And it happened after the plague, *Yahweh said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saying, ² "_⌊Take a census_⌋* of the community of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* from _⌊those twenty years old_⌋* and above, according to _⌊their families_⌋,* all who are able to go out to war in Israel." ³ So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them on the desert-plateau of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, saying, ⁴ "Take a census of the community from _⌊those twenty years old_⌋* and above, just as Yahweh commanded Moses."
The Israelites who went out from the land of Egypt were: ⁵ Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, the descendants* of Reuben: of Hanoch, the clan of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the clan of the Palluites;* ⁶ of Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites;* of Carmi, the clan of the Carmites.* ⁷ These are the clans of the Reubenites,* and the ones counted of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty. ⁸ The children of Pallu: Eliab. ⁹ The children of Eliab: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the same Dathan and Abiram who were appointed of the community, who rebelled against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they rebelled against Yahweh, ¹⁰ and the land opened its mouth and swallowed them with Korah, when that company died, when the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men, and they were a sign.* ¹¹ The children* of Korah, however, did not die. ¹² The descendants* of Simeon, according to their clans: of Nemuel, the clan of the Nemuelites;* of Jamin, the clan of the Jaminites;* of Jakin, the clan of the Jakinites;* ¹³ of Zerah, the clan of the Zerahites;* of Shaul, the clan of the Shaulites.* ¹⁴ These were the clans of the Simeonites,* twenty-two thousand two hundred. ¹⁵ The descendants* of Gad according to their clans: of Zephon, the clan of the Zephonites;* of Haggi, the clan of the Haggites;* of Shuni, the clan of the Shunites;* ¹⁶ of Ozni, the clan of the Oznites;* of Eri, the clan of the Erites;* ¹⁷ of Arod, the clan of the Arodites;* of Areli, the clan of the Arelites;* ¹⁸ These were the clans of the descendants* of Gad according to the ones counted of them, forty thousand five hundred. ¹⁹ The sons of Judah: Er and Onan; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. ²⁰ The descendants* of Judah according to their clans were: of Shelah, the clan of the Shelanites;* of Perez, the clan of the Perezites;* of Zerah, the clan of the Zerahites.* ²¹ The children of Perez were: of Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites;* of Hamul, the clan of the Hamulites.* ²² These were the clans of Judah according to the ones counted of them, seventy-six thousand five hundred. ²³ The descendants* of Issachar according to their clans: of Tola, the clan of the Tolaites;* of Puvah, the clan of the Punites;* ²⁴ of Jashub, the clans of the Jashubites;* of Shimron, the clan of the Shimronites.* ²⁵ These were the clans of Issachar according to the ones counted of them, sixty-four thousand three hundred. ²⁶ The descendants* of Zebulun according to their clans: of Sered, the clan of the Seredites;* of Elon, the clan of the Elonites;* of Jahleel, the clan of the Jahleelites.* ²⁷ These were the clans of the Zebulunites* according to the ones counted of them, sixty thousand five hundred. ²⁸ The descendants* of Joseph according to their clans: Manasseh and Ephraim. ²⁹ The descendants* of Manasseh: of Makir, the clan of the Makirites.* And Makir fathered Gilead; of Gilead, the clan of the Gileadites.* ³⁰ These were the descendants* of Gilead: of Iezer, the clan of the Iezerites;* of Helek, the clan of the Helekites;* ³¹ and of Asriel, the clan of the Asrielites;* and of Shechem, the clan of the Shechemites;* ³² and of Shemida, the clan of the Shemidaites;* and of Hepher, the clan of the Hepherites.* ³³ Zelophehad son of Hepher did not have sons, but only daughters; and the names* of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. ³⁴ These were the clans of Manasseh, and the ones counted of them were fifty-two thousand seven hundred. ³⁵ These were the descendants* of Ephraim according to their clans: of Shuthelah, the clan of the Shuthelahites;* of Beker, the clan of the Bekerites;* of Tahan, the clan of the Tahanites.* ³⁶ And these were the descendants* of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites.* ³⁷ These were the clans of the descendants* of Ephraim according to the ones counted of them, thirty-two thousand five hundred. These were the descendants* of Joseph according to their clans. ³⁸ The descendants* of Benjamin according to their clans: of Bela, the clan of the Belaites;* of Ashbel, the clan of the Ashbelites;* of Ahiram, the clan of the Ahiramites;* ³⁹ of Shephupham, the clan of the Shuphamites;* of Hupham, the clan of the Huphamites.* ⁴⁰ The sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: of Ard, the clan of the Ardites;* of Naaman, the clan of the Naamites.* ⁴¹ These were the descendants* of Benjamin according to their clans.

They will inherit according to the names of the tribes of their ancestors.* ⁵⁶ _⌊Their_⌋* inheritance must be divided according to the lot between the larger and smaller groups." ⁵⁷ These are the ones counted of the Levites according to their clans: of Gershon, the clan of the Gershonites;* of Kohath, the clan of the Kohathites;* of Merari, the clan of the Merarites.* ⁵⁸ These are the clans of Levi: the clan of the Libnites,* the clan of the Hebronites,* the clan of the Mahlites,* the clan of the Mushites,* the clan of the Korahites.* Kohath fathered Amram. ⁵⁹ The name of the wife of Amram was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whose mother bore her for Levi in Egypt; she bore to Amram: Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam. ⁶⁰ To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ⁶¹ But Nadab and Abihu died when they presented strange fire _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh. ⁶² The ones counted were twenty-three thousand, every male from _⌊a month old_⌋* and above, because they were not counted in the midst of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* since no inheritance was given to them in the midst of the _⌊Israelites_⌋.* ⁶³ These were the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who counted the _⌊Israelites_⌋* on the desert-plateau of Moab on the Jordan across Jericho. ⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest, who counted the _⌊Israelites_⌋* in the desert of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For Yahweh said to them, "They will surely die in the desert." And not a man was left over from them, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal* of the righteousness by faith which he had _⌊while uncircumcised_⌋*, so that he could be the father of all who believe _⌊although they are uncircumcised_⌋*, so that righteousness could be credited to them,* ¹² and the father _⌊of those who are circumcised_⌋* to those who are not only from the circumcision, but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham _⌊which he had while uncircumcised_⌋*. ¹³ For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants, that he would be heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness by faith. ¹⁴ For if those of the law are heirs, faith is rendered void and the promise is nullified. ¹⁵ For the law produces wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there transgression. ¹⁶ Because of this, it is by faith, in order that it may be according to grace, so that the promise may be secure to all the descendants, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all ¹⁷ (just as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations")* before God, in whom he believed, the one who makes the dead alive and who calls the things that are not as though they are, ¹⁸ who against hope believed in hope, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was said, "so will your descendants be."*

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And if you are Christ's, then you are descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
