[1] Now after the disease was over, the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar, the
son of Aaron the priest, [2] Let all the children of Israel be numbered, by
the names of their fathers' families, all those of twenty years old and
over who are able to go to war in Israel. [3] So Moses and Eleazar the
priest gave them the order in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho,
saying, [4] Let all the people of twenty years old and over be numbered, as
the Lord has given orders to Moses and the children of Israel who have come
out of Egypt. [5] Reuben, the first son of Israel: the sons of Reuben by

Reubenites: their number was forty-three thousand, seven hundred and
thirty. [8] And the sons of Pallu, Eliab [9] And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel
and Dathan and Abiram. These are the same Dathan and Abiram who had a place
in the meeting of the people, who together with Korah made an outcry
against Moses and Aaron and against the Lord: [10] And they went down into
the open mouth of the earth, together with Korah, when death overtook him

Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, had no sons, but only daughters, and the
names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah,
and Tirzah. [34] These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were

six hundred and one thousand, seven hundred and thirty. [52] And the Lord
said to Moses, [53] Let there be a division of the land among these, for
their heritage, in relation to the number of names. [54] To those families
who are more in number, give a greater heritage; to those who are less in
number, a smaller part: to every one let the heritage be given in relation
to the number in his family. [55] But let the distribution of the land be
made by the decision of the Lord: by the names of the tribes of their
fathers let their heritage be given them. [56] As it is ordered by the
decision of the Lord, let distribution be made between those who are more
in number and those who are less. [57] These were those of the Levites who
were numbered by their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites:

Merarites. [58] These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites,

[59] Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom he had in Egypt:
by Amram she had Moses and Aaron and their sister Miriam. [60] Aaron's sons
were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. [61] Death overtook Nadab and
Abihu when they made an offering of strange fire before the Lord. [62] Of
these, twenty-three thousand males, from one month old and over, were
numbered: they were not numbered with the rest of the children of Israel,
for they had no heritage among the children of Israel. [63] All these were
numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest when the children of Israel were
numbered in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. [64] But among
all these was not one of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when
the children of Israel were numbered in the waste land of Sinai. [65] For
the Lord had said of them, Death will certainly overtake them in the waste
land. And of them all, only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the
son of Nun, were still living.
