Numbers 1:17-46 & Luke 24:45-52 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 1:17-46
THE FIRST CENCUS OF ISRAEL (continued)
17  So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,
18  and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day. All the people were registered according to their ancestry by their clans and families. The men of Israel who were twenty years old or older were listed one by one,
19  just as the Lord had commanded Moses. So Moses recorded their names in the wilderness of Sinai.
20-21  This is the number of men twenty years old or older who were able to go to war, as their names were listed in the records of their clans and families:
TribeNumber
Reuben (Jacob’s oldest son)46,500

26-27  Judah74,600
28-29  Issachar54,400
30-31  Zebulun57,400
32-33  Ephraim son of Joseph40,500

35,400
38-39  Dan62,700
40-41  Asher41,500
42-43  Naphtali53,400
44  These were the men registered by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, all listed according to their ancestral descent. 
45  They were registered by families—all the men of Israel who were twenty years old or older and able to go to war. 
46  The total number was 603,550.

LUKE 24:45-52
JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES
45  Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 
46  And he said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. 
47  It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ 
48  You are witnesses of all these things.
49  “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”

JESUS IS TAKEN UP TO HEAVEN
50  Then Jesus led them to Bethany, and lifting his hands to heaven, he blessed them. 
51  While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up to heaven. 
52  So they worshiped him and then returned to Jerusalem filled with great joy.
