Numbers 2:18-34 & John 1:29-34 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 2:18-34
THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE TRIBES IN CAMP (continued)
18-19  “The divisions of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin are to camp on the west side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops:

Tribe	Leader	Number
Ephraim	Elishama son of Ammihud	40,500
20-21  Manasseh	Gamaliel son of Pedahzur	32,200
22-23  Benjamin	Abidan son of Gideoni	35,400

24        So the total of all the troops on Ephraim’s side of the camp is 108,100. These three tribes will be third in line whenever the Israelites travel.

25-26  “The divisions of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali are to camp on the north side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops:

Tribe	Leader	Number
Dan	Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai	62,700
27-28  Asher	Pagiel son of Ocran	41,500
29-30  Naphtali	Ahira son of Enan	53,400

31    So the total of all the troops on Dan’s side of the camp is 157,600. These three tribes will be last, marching under their banners whenever the Israelites travel.”

32    In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550. 

33    But as the Lord had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration. 

34    So the people of Israel did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the Lord had instructed them.

JOHN 1:29-34

THE LAMB OF GOD

29  The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 

30  He is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.’ 

31  I did not recognize him as the Messiah, but I have been baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel.”

32  Then John testified, “I saw the Holy Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and resting upon him. 

33  I didn’t know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ 

34  I saw this happen to Jesus, so I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.”
