They recorded their lineage by their clans and ancestral houses, counting the names of those twenty years old or older, individually, 19 just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So they counted them in the wilderness of Sinai. 20 The descendants of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were recorded by their generations, families, and ancestral houses, by name, individually, all the males twenty years old or older, all who could serve in the army. 21 The number from the tribe of Reuben was 46,500. 22 The descendants of Simeon were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, all the males twenty years old or older, individually counted, all able to serve in the army. 23 The number from the tribe of Simeon was 59,300. 24 The descendants of Gad were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, all the males twenty years old or older, individually counted, all able to serve in the army. 25 The number from the tribe of Gad was 45,650. 26 The descendants of Judah were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, all the males twenty years old or older, individually counted, all able to serve in the army. 27 The number from the tribe of Judah was 74,600. 28 The descendants of Issachar were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, all the males twenty years old or older, individually counted, all able to serve in the army. 29 The number from the tribe of Issachar was 54,400. 30 The descendants of Zebulun were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, all the males twenty years old or older, individually counted, all able to serve in the army. 31 The number from the tribe of Zebulun was 57,400. 32 The descendants of Joseph, specifically the tribe of Ephraim, were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, all the males twenty years old or older, individually counted, all able to serve in the army. 33 The number from the tribe of Ephraim was 40,500. 34 The descendants of Manasseh were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, counting the names of all the males twenty years old or older, all able to serve in the army. 35 The number from the tribe of Manasseh was 32,200. 36 The descendants of Benjamin were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, counting the names of all the males twenty years old or older, all able to serve in the army. 37 The number from the tribe of Benjamin was 35,400. 38 The descendants of Dan were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, counting the names of all the males twenty years old or older, all able to serve in the army. 39 The number from the tribe of Dan was 62,700. 40 The descendants of Asher were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, counting the names of all the males twenty years old or older, all able to serve in the army. 41 The number from the tribe of Asher was 41,500. 42 The descendants of Naphtali were recorded by their generations, by their families, and by their ancestral houses, counting the names of all the males twenty years old or older, all able to serve in the army. 43 The number from the tribe of Naphtali was 53,400. 44 These were the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron counted, along with the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each the head of his ancestral house. 45 So all the Israelites who were twenty years old or older and able to serve in the army were counted according to their ancestral houses. 46 The total number of those counted was 603,550. 47 However, the Levites, by their ancestral tribe, were not included in the census among them. 48 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 49 Do not include the tribe of Levi or take a census of them among the Israelites. 50 Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle of the covenant, all its furnishings, and everything that belongs to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, serve it, and camp around it. 51 Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites must take it down, and whenever it is to be set up, the Levites must set it up. Any outsider who comes near it must be put to death. 52 The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man by his own banner, near his own family’s camp. 53 But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the covenant to protect the Israelites from wrath. The Levites are to carry out the responsibilities of the tabernacle of the covenant. 54 Thus the Israelites did everything the LORD had commanded Moses, just as the LORD instructed them.

Each of them was holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals because you were slain, and with your blood, you purchased for God people from every tribe, language, people, and nation." 10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth. 11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. 12 In a loud voice they said: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power, and wealth, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing!" 13 Then I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, honor, glory, and power forever and ever!"

They fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!” 13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These people dressed in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” 14 I said to him, 'Sir, you know.' And he said to me, 'These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.'
