Numbers 26
26
1After the blood of the guilty was shed, the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest:
2Number the whole sum of the children of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their houses and kindreds, all that are able to go forth to war.
3Moses therefore and Eleazar the priest, being in the plains of Moab upon the Jordan over against Jericho, spoke to them that were
4From twenty years old and upward, as the Lord had commanded. And this is the number of them:
5Ruben the firstborn of Israel: His sons were Henoch, of whom is the family of the Henochites: and Phallu, of whom is the family of the Phalluites:
6And Hesron, of whom is the family of the Hesronites: and Charmi, of whom is the family of the Charmites.
7These are the families of the stock of Ruben: whose number was found to be forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty.
8The son of Phallu was Eliab.
9His sons were Namuel and Dathan and Abiron. These are Dathan and Abiron the princes of the people, that rose against Moses and Aaron in the sedition of Core, when they rebelled against the Lord.
10And the earth opening her mouth swallowed up Core, many others dying: when the fire burned two hundred and fifty men. And there was a great miracle wrought,
11That when Core perished, his sons did not perish.

34These are the families of Manasses, and the number of them fifty-two thousand seven hundred.
35And the sons of Ephraim by their kindreds were these: Suthala, of whom is the family of the Suthalaites: Becher, of whom is the family of the Becherites: Thehen, of whom is the family of the Thehenites.
36Now the son of Suthala was Heran, of whom is the family of the Heranites.

52And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
53To these shall the land be divided for their possessions according to the number of names.
54To the greater number thou shalt give a greater portion, and to the fewer a less. To every one, as they have now been reckoned up, shall a possession be delivered:
55Yet so that by lot the land be divided to the tribe and families.
56Whatsoever shall fall by lot, that shall be taken by the more, or the fewer.
57This also is the number of the sons of Levi by their families: Gerson, of whom is the family of the Gersonites: Caath, of whom is the family of the Caathites: Merari, of whom is the family of the Merarites.
58These are the families of Levi: The family of Lobni, the family of Hebroni, the family of Moholi, the family of Musi, the family of Core. Now Caath begot Amram
59Who had to wife Jochabed the daughter of Levi, who was born to him in Egypt. She bore to her husband Amram sons, Aaron and Moses, and Mary their sister.
60Of Aaron were born Nadab and Abiu, and Eleazar and Ithamar:
61Of whom Nadab and Abiu died, when they had offered the strange fire before the Lord.
62And all that were numbered, were twenty-three thousand males from one month old and upward. For they were not reckoned up among the children of Israel, neither was a possession given to them with the rest.
63This is the number of the children of Israel, that were enrolled by Moses and Eleazar the priest, in the plains of Moab upon the Jordan, over against Jericho.
64Among whom there was not one of them that were numbered before by Moses and Aaron in the desert of Sinai.
65For the Lord had foretold that they should die in the wilderness. And none remained of them, but Caleb the son of Jephone, and Josue the son of Nun.
