Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, 2 “Take a census of all the
congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by
their fathers’ houses, all who are able to go out to war in Israel.” 3 Moses
and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at
Jericho, saying, 4 “Take a census, from twenty years old and upward; as Jehovah
commanded Moses and the children of Israel.”
These are those that came out of the land of Egypt.

These are that Dathan and Abiram, who were called by the congregation, who
rebelled against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they
rebelled against Jehovah, 10 and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed

52 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 53 “To
these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of
names. 54 To the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the
fewer you shall give the less inheritance. To everyone according to those who
were numbered of him shall his inheritance be given. 55 Notwithstanding,
the land shall be divided by lot. According to the names of the tribes of their
fathers they shall inherit. 56 According to the lot shall their
inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.”
57 These are those who were numbered of the

Amram’s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt.
She bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. 60 To Aaron
were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61 Nadab and Abihu died
when they offered strange fire before Jehovah. 62 Those who were numbered
of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and upward; for
they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no
inheritance given them among the children of Israel. 63 These are those
who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of
Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 64 But among these
there was not a man of them who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest,
who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 65 For Jehovah
had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” There was not a
man left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
