So there were provided out of the thousands of Israel 1,000 from each tribe, 12,000 armed for war.
From each of the tribes of Israel you shall send 1,000 to the war.
And Moses sent them to the war, 1,000 from each tribe, together with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, with the [sacred] vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets to blow the alarm in his hand.
