Numbers 26

Census of the Sons of Israel

1Then it happened after the plague, that Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,[#26:1 Ch 25:19 in Heb; #26:1 Ch 26:1 in Heb]

2“Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ households, whoever is able to go out to war in Israel.”[#26:2 Lit sum]

3So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

4“Take a census of the people from twenty years old and upward, as Yahweh has commanded Moses.”

N ow the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were :

51These are those who were numbered of the sons of Israel, 601,730.

52Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

53“Among these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.[#26:53 Lit To]

54To the larger group you shall increase their inheritance, and to the smaller group you shall diminish their inheritance; each shall be given their inheritance according to those who were numbered of them.

55But the land shall be divided by lot. They shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.[#26:55 Lit inherit according to]

56According to the selection by lot, their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller groups .”

57And these are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families:

59And the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram: Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam.

60And to Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

61But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before Yahweh.

62And those who were numbered of them were 23,000, every male from a month old and upward, for they were not numbered among the sons of Israel since no inheritance was given to them among the sons of Israel.

63These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

64But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

65For Yahweh had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.[#26:65 Or to]
