Numbers 26:1-11

After the great sickness, the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, “Count all the people of Israel by families. Count all the men who are twenty years old or older who will serve in the army of Israel.” Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke to the people on the plains of Moab near the Jordan River, across from Jericho. They said, “Count the men twenty years old or older, as the LORD commanded Moses.” Here are the Israelites who came out of Egypt: The tribe of Reuben, the first son born to Israel, was counted. From Hanoch came the Hanochite family group; from Pallu came the Palluite family group; from Hezron came the Hezronite family group; from Carmi came the Carmite family group. These were the family groups of Reuben, and the total number of men was 43,730. The son of Pallu was Eliab, and Eliab’s sons were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram were the leaders who turned against Moses and Aaron and followed Korah when he turned against the LORD. The earth opened up and swallowed them and Korah; they died at the same time the fire burned up the 250 men. This was a warning, but the children of Korah did not die.
