創世記 30:17-21
God listened to Leah, and she became pregnant and bore Jacob a fifth son.Then Leah said,“ God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.Then Leah said,“ God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.Some time later she gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah. (niv)

創世記 29:32-35
Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said,“ It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now.”She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said,“ Because the Lord heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said,“ Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said,“ This time I will praise the Lord.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children. (niv)

創世記 34:1-31
Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land.When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her.His heart was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob; he loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.And Shechem said to his father Hamor,“ Get me this girl as my wife.”When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and furious, because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in Israel by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter— a thing that should not be done.But Hamor said to them,“ My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.You can settle among us; the land is open to you. Live in it, trade in it, and acquire property in it.”Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers,“ Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask.Make the price for the bride and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I’ll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the young woman as my wife.”Because their sister Dinah had been defiled, Jacob’s sons replied deceitfully as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor.They said to them,“ We can’t do such a thing; we can’t give our sister to a man who is not circumcised. That would be a disgrace to us.We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our sister and go.”Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.The young man, who was the most honored of all his father’s family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city to speak to the men of their city.“ These men are friendly toward us,” they said.“ Let them live in our land and trade in it; the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.But the men will agree to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised, as they themselves are.Won’t their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours? So let us agree to their terms, and they will settle among us.”All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left.The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where their sister had been defiled.They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children, taking as plunder everything in the houses.Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have brought trouble on me by making me obnoxious to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”But they replied,“ Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?” (niv)

創世記 49:3-15
“ Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the first sign of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father’s bed, onto my couch and defiled it.“ Simeon and Levi are brothers— their swords are weapons of violence.Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased.Cursed be their anger, so fierce, and their fury, so cruel! I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel.“ Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you.You are a lion’s cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness— who dares to rouse him?The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.“ Zebulun will live by the seashore and become a haven for ships; his border will extend toward Sidon.“ Issachar is a rawboned donkey lying down among the sheep pens.When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor.

民数記 26:1-65
After the plague the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest,“ Take a census of the whole Israelite community by families— all those twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army of Israel.”So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said,“ Take a census of the men twenty years old or more, as the Lord commanded Moses.” These were the Israelites who came out of Egypt:The descendants of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel, were: through Hanok, the Hanokite clan; through Pallu, the Palluite clan;through Hezron, the Hezronite clan; through Karmi, the Karmite clan.These were the clans of Reuben; those numbered were 43,730.The son of Pallu was Eliab,and the sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. The same Dathan and Abiram were the community officials who rebelled against Moses and Aaron and were among Korah’s followers when they rebelled against the Lord.The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire devoured the 250 men. And they served as a warning sign.The line of Korah, however, did not die out.The descendants of Simeon by their clans were: through Nemuel, the Nemuelite clan; through Jamin, the Jaminite clan; through Jakin, the Jakinite clan;through Zerah, the Zerahite clan; through Shaul, the Shaulite clan.These were the clans of Simeon; those numbered were 22,200.The descendants of Gad by their clans were: through Zephon, the Zephonite clan; through Haggi, the Haggite clan; through Shuni, the Shunite clan;through Ozni, the Oznite clan; through Eri, the Erite clan;through Arodi, the Arodite clan; through Areli, the Arelite clan.These were the clans of Gad; those numbered were 40,500.Er and Onan were sons of Judah, but they died in Canaan.The descendants of Judah by their clans were: through Shelah, the Shelanite clan; through Perez, the Perezite clan; through Zerah, the Zerahite clan.The descendants of Perez were: through Hezron, the Hezronite clan; through Hamul, the Hamulite clan.These were the clans of Judah; those numbered were 76,500.The descendants of Issachar by their clans were: through Tola, the Tolaite clan; through Puah, the Puite clan;through Jashub, the Jashubite clan; through Shimron, the Shimronite clan.These were the clans of Issachar; those numbered were 64,300.The descendants of Zebulun by their clans were: through Sered, the Seredite clan; through Elon, the Elonite clan; through Jahleel, the Jahleelite clan.These were the clans of Zebulun; those numbered were 60,500.The descendants of Joseph by their clans through Manasseh and Ephraim were:The descendants of Manasseh: through Makir, the Makirite clan( Makir was the father of Gilead); through Gilead, the Gileadite clan.These were the descendants of Gilead: through Iezer, the Iezerite clan; through Helek, the Helekite clan;through Asriel, the Asrielite clan; through Shechem, the Shechemite clan;through Shemida, the Shemidaite clan; through Hepher, the Hepherite clan.( Zelophehad son of Hepher had no sons; he had only daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah.)These were the clans of Manasseh; those numbered were 52,700.These were the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: through Shuthelah, the Shuthelahite clan; through Beker, the Bekerite clan; through Tahan, the Tahanite clan.These were the descendants of Shuthelah: through Eran, the Eranite clan.These were the clans of Ephraim; those numbered were 32,500. These were the descendants of Joseph by their clans.The descendants of Benjamin by their clans were: through Bela, the Belaite clan; through Ashbel, the Ashbelite clan; through Ahiram, the Ahiramite clan;through Shupham, the Shuphamite clan; through Hupham, the Huphamite clan.The descendants of Bela through Ard and Naaman were: through Ard, the Ardite clan; through Naaman, the Naamite clan.These were the clans of Benjamin; those numbered were 45,600.These were the descendants of Dan by their clans: through Shuham, the Shuhamite clan. These were the clans of Dan:All of them were Shuhamite clans; and those numbered were 64,400.The descendants of Asher by their clans were: through Imnah, the Imnite clan; through Ishvi, the Ishvite clan; through Beriah, the Beriite clan;and through the descendants of Beriah: through Heber, the Heberite clan; through Malkiel, the Malkielite clan.( Asher had a daughter named Serah.)These were the clans of Asher; those numbered were 53,400.The descendants of Naphtali by their clans were: through Jahzeel, the Jahzeelite clan; through Guni, the Gunite clan;through Jezer, the Jezerite clan; through Shillem, the Shillemite clan.These were the clans of Naphtali; those numbered were 45,400.The total number of the men of Israel was 601,730.The Lord said to Moses,“ The land is to be allotted to them as an inheritance based on the number of names.To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one; each is to receive its inheritance according to the number of those listed.Be sure that the land is distributed by lot. What each group inherits will be according to the names for its ancestral tribe.Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”These were the Levites who were counted by their clans: through Gershon, the Gershonite clan; through Kohath, the Kohathite clan; through Merari, the Merarite clan.These also were Levite clans: the Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, the Korahite clan.( Kohath was the forefather of Amram;the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, who was born to the Levites in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses and their sister Miriam.Aaron was the father of Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died when they made an offering before the Lord with unauthorized fire.)All the male Levites a month old or more numbered 23,000. They were not counted along with the other Israelites because they received no inheritance among them.These are the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.Not one of them was among those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Desert of Sinai.For the Lord had told those Israelites they would surely die in the wilderness, and not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

民数記 1:1-54
The Lord spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the Desert of Sinai on the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites came out of Egypt. He said:“ Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.You and Aaron are to count according to their divisions all the men in Israel who are twenty years old or more and able to serve in the army.One man from each tribe, each of them the head of his family, is to help you.These are the names of the men who are to assist you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni;from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;from Asher, Pagiel son of Okran;from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”These were the men appointed from the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes. They were the heads of the clans of Israel.Moses and Aaron took these men whose names had been specified,and they called the whole community together on the first day of the second month. The people registered their ancestry by their clans and families, and the men twenty years old or more were listed by name, one by one,as the Lord commanded Moses. And so he counted them in the Desert of Sinai:From the descendants of Reuben the firstborn son of Israel: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Reuben was 46,500.From the descendants of Simeon: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were counted and listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Simeon was 59,300.From the descendants of Gad: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Gad was 45,650.From the descendants of Judah: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Judah was 74,600.From the descendants of Issachar: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Issachar was 54,400.From the descendants of Zebulun: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Zebulun was 57,400.From the sons of Joseph: From the descendants of Ephraim: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Ephraim was 40,500.From the descendants of Manasseh: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Manasseh was 32,200.From the descendants of Benjamin: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Benjamin was 35,400.From the descendants of Dan: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Dan was 62,700.From the descendants of Asher: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Asher was 41,500.From the descendants of Naphtali: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families.The number from the tribe of Naphtali was 53,400.These were the men counted by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family.All the Israelites twenty years old or more who were able to serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.The total number was 603,550.The ancestral tribe of the Levites, however, was not counted along with the others.The Lord had said to Moses:“ You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the census of the other Israelites.Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle of the covenant law— over all its furnishings and everything belonging to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they are to take care of it and encamp around it.Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it. Anyone else who approaches it is to be put to death.The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard.The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.”The Israelites did all this just as the Lord commanded Moses. (niv)

The Lord said to Moses:“ Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out.When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.If only one is sounded, the leaders— the heads of the clans of Israel— are to assemble before you.When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.At the sounding of a second blast, the camps on the south are to set out. The blast will be the signal for setting out.To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets, but not with the signal for setting out.“ The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to blow the trumpets. This is to be a lasting ordinance for you and the generations to come.When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.Also at your times of rejoicing— your appointed festivals and New Moon feasts— you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle of the covenant law.Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran.They set out, this first time, at the Lord’s command through Moses.The divisions of the camp of Judah went first, under their standard. Nahshon son of Amminadab was in command.Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and Merarites, who carried it, set out.The divisions of the camp of Reuben went next, under their standard. Elizur son of Shedeur was in command.Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things. The tabernacle was to be set up before they arrived.The divisions of the camp of Ephraim went next, under their standard. Elishama son of Ammihud was in command.Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.Finally, as the rear guard for all the units, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was in command.Pagiel son of Okran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.Now Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law,“ We are setting out for the place about which the Lord said,‘ I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”He answered,“ No, I will not go; I am going back to my own land and my own people.”But Moses said,“ Please do not leave us. You know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the Lord gives us.”So they set out from the mountain of the Lord and traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them during those three days to find them a place to rest.The cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.Whenever the ark set out, Moses said,“ Rise up, Lord! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you.”Whenever it came to rest, he said,“ Return, Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel.” (niv)
