You and Aaron must register the troops,H6242H8141H1121H4605H3318H6635H3478H175H6485H66354and you will be assisted by one family leader from each tribe.H376H376H4294H376H7218H1004H15"These are the tribes and the names of the leaders who will assist you: Tribe Leader Reuben Elizur son of ShedeurH8034H582H5975H7205H468H1121H77076Simeon Shelumiel son of ZurishaddaiH8095H8017H1121H67017Judah Nahshon son of AmminadabH3063H5177H1121H59928Issachar Nethanel son of ZuarH3485H5417H1121H66869Zebulun Eliab son of HelonH2074H446H1121H249710Ephraim son of Joseph Elishama son of Ammihud Manasseh son of Joseph Gamaliel son of PedahzurH1121H3130H669H476H1121H5989H4519H1583H1121H630111Benjamin Abidan son of GideoniH1144H27H1121H144112Dan Ahiezer son of AmmishaddaiH1835H295H1121H599613Asher Pagiel son of OcranH836H6295H1121H591814Gad Eliasaph son of DeuelH1410H460H1121H184515Naphtali Ahira son of EnanH5321H299H1121H588116These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel."H7148H7121H5712H5387H4294H1H7218H505H1992H347817So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,H4872H175H3947H582H5344H803418and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day
