Numbers 1:5

Compare all

3 from ^atwenty years old and above—all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

4 And with you there shall be a man from every tribe, each one the head of his father’s house.

5 “These are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

6 from Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;

7 from Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;

8 from Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;

9 from Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;

10 from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;

11 from Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;

12 from Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;

13 from Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran;

14 from Gad, Eliasaph the son of ^aDeuel;

15 from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.”

16 ^aThese were ^bchosen from the congregation, leaders of their fathers’ tribes, ^cheads of the divisions in Israel.

17 Then Moses and Aaron took these men who had been¹ mentioned ^aby name,

18 and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they recited their ^aancestry by families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one individually.

Numbers 1:5-16

The princes of the tribes, selected Numbers 1:4 under divine direction, were for the most part the same persons as those chosen a few months previously at the counsel of Jethro Exodus 18:21-26. Nahshon, prince of Judah, is mentioned in Exodus 6:23, and Elishama, in I Chronicles 7:26-27. The peers of men like these were no doubt entitled, among their fellows, to the epithet "renowned," Numbers 1:16.
