The LORD spoke to Moses in Wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting…in the second year after they had come
out of Egypt, saying “take a census of all the congregation of the people Israel, by clans, by fathers’ houses, according
to the number of names, every male, head by head – Numbers 1:1-3

Total Census Numbers
These are those who were listed, whom Moses and Aaron listed with the help of the chiefs of
Israel, twelve men, each representing his father’s house. So all those listed of the people of Israel, by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to
war in Israel—all those listed were 603,550

Total Census Numbers • Figures for the individual groups add up to the
given total. • Total population may have been nearly 2.2
million • The LORD kept His promise to Abraham about
raising a nation (Gn 15:5) to provide the promised Savior (Gal 3:8 -9).
• The census agrees with the round figure given in Ex 12:37 and with the exact count in Ex 38:26 and Nu 2:32.

What About the Levites? But the Levites were not listed along
with them by their ancestral tribe. For the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ”Only
the tribe of Levi you shall not list, and you shall not take a census of them
among the people of Israel. But appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings,
and over all that belongs to it.

What About the Levites? • Levites were appointed “over the tabernacle”
(v. 50); therefore, there was no need to tabulate their manpower in a military census.
• Their numbers and duties are recorded separately in chapters 3 and 4.
• The LORD sets the Levites apart for special service.
• Their duty is spiritual, not military. God charges the Levites with moving, maintaining, and protecting the tabernacle.

What is a “Standard”?• 13 times in chapter we read that
“the people of Israel shall camp each by his own “standard”• A standard designates a banner
to identify larger groups. • Individual tribes also had
distinctive ensigns.

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel instead of every…firstborn among the people of
Israel. The Levites shall be mine, for all the firstborn are mine…In Egypt I consecrated for my own all the
firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast. They shall be mine: I AM the
LORD (Numbers 3:11 – 13)

The ROLE of the Levites• The Levites were chosen by God to assist the
priests. • Each Levitical clan performs assigned duties for
the care and security of the sanctuary and its contents.
• Just as the Lord consecrated the Levites to care for the tabernacle and support the services in the sanctuary, Yahweh likewise calls and consecrates His people to support the ministry of Word and Sacrament today!

shekels per head had to be given to Aaron and his sons as a redemption price. (3:46 – 47)
