Contemporary English Version

² “I want you to find out how many Israelites are in each family. Then make a list of every man 20 years and older who is able to serve in Israel's army.”

³ Israel was now camped in the hills of Moab across the Jordan River from the town of Jericho. Moses and Eleazar told them ⁴ what the Lord had said about counting the men 20 years and older, just as Moses and their ancestors had done when they left Egypt.^[a]
