New Living Translation (NLT)

Numbers 2
³⁰ 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.
Numbers 3
¹ This is the family line of Aaron and Moses as it was recorded when the LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai:
² The names of Aaron’s sons were Nadab (the oldest), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
³ These sons of Aaron were anointed and ordained to minister as priests.
⁴ But Nadab and Abihu died in the LORD’s presence in the wilderness of Sinai when they burned before the LORD the wrong kind of fire, different than he had commanded. Since they had no sons, this left only Eleazar and Ithamar to serve as priests with their father, Aaron.
⁵ Then the LORD said to Moses,
⁶ “Call forward the tribe of Levi, and present them to Aaron the priest to serve as his assistants.
