26  After the scourge,+ Jehovah said to Moses and El·e·aʹzar the son of Aaron the priest: ² “Take a census of the whole assembly of the Israelites from 20 years of age and up, by their paternal houses, counting all those who can serve in the army in Israel.”+ ³ So Moses and El·e·aʹzar+ the priest spoke with them in the desert plains of Moʹab+ by the Jordan at Jerʹi·cho,+ saying: ⁴ “Take a census of them from the age of 20 years and up, just as Jehovah commanded Moses.”+ Now the sons of Israel who went out of the land of Egypt were: ⁵ Reuʹben,+ Israel’s firstborn; Reuʹben’s sons+ were: of Haʹnoch, the family of the Haʹnoch·ites; of Palʹlu, the family of the Palʹlu·ites; ⁶ of Hezʹron, the family of the Hezʹron·ites; of Carʹmi, the family of the Carʹmites. ⁷ These were the families of the Reuʹben·ites, and their registered ones amounted to 43,730.+ ⁸ The son of Palʹlu was E·liʹab. ⁹ And the sons of E·liʹab were Nemʹu·el, Daʹthan, and A·biʹram. This Daʹthan and A·biʹram were chosen ones of the assembly who fought against Moses+ and Aaron along with Korʹah’s group+ when they fought against Jehovah.+ ¹⁰ Then the earth opened* and swallowed them up. As for Korʹah, he died with his supporters when the fire consumed 250 men.+ And they became a warning example.+ ¹¹ However, the sons of Korʹah did not die.+ ¹² The sons of Simʹe·on+ by their families were: of Nemʹu·el, the family of the Nemʹu·el·ites; of Jaʹmin, the family of the Jaʹmin·ites; of Jaʹchin, the family of the Jaʹchin·ites; ¹³ of Zeʹrah, the family of the Zeʹrah·ites; of Shaʹul, the family of the Sha·uʹlites. ¹⁴ These were the families of the Simʹe·on·ites: 22,200.+ ¹⁵ The sons of Gad+ by their families were: of Zeʹphon, the family of the Zeʹphon·ites; of Hagʹgi, the family of the Hagʹgites; of Shuʹni, the family of the Shuʹnites; ¹⁶ of Ozʹni, the family of the Ozʹnites; of Eʹri, the family of the Eʹrites; ¹⁷ of Arʹod, the family of the Arʹod·ites; of A·reʹli, the family of the A·reʹlites. ¹⁸ These were the families of the sons of Gad, and their registered ones were 40,500.+ ¹⁹ The sons of Judah+ were Er and Oʹnan.+ However, Er and Oʹnan died in the land of Caʹnaan.+ ²⁰ And the sons of Judah by their families were: of Sheʹlah,+ the family of the She·laʹnites; of Peʹrez,+ the family of the Perʹe·zites; of Zeʹrah,+ the family of the Zeʹrah·ites. ²¹ And the sons of Peʹrez were: of Hezʹron,+ the family of the Hezʹron·ites; of Haʹmul,+ the family of the Ha·muʹlites. ²² These were the families of Judah, and their registered ones were 76,500.+ ²³ The sons of Isʹsa·char+ by their families were: of Toʹla,+ the family of the Toʹla·ites; of Puʹvah, the family of the Puʹnites; ²⁴ of Jaʹshub, the family of the Jashʹu·bites; of Shimʹron, the family of the Shimʹron·ites. ²⁵ These were the families of Isʹsa·char, and their registered ones were 64,300.+ ²⁶ The sons of Zebʹu·lun+ by their families were: of Seʹred, the family of the Serʹe·dites; of Eʹlon, the family of the Eʹlon·ites; of Jahʹle·el, the family of the Jahʹle·el·ites. ²⁷ These were the families of the Zebʹu·lun·ites, and their registered ones were 60,500.+ ²⁸ The sons of Joseph+ by their families were: Ma·nasʹseh and Eʹphra·im.+ ²⁹ The sons of Ma·nasʹseh+ were: of Maʹchir,+ the family of the Maʹchir·ites; and Maʹchir became father to Gilʹe·ad;+ of Gilʹe·ad, the family of the Gilʹe·ad·ites. ³⁰ These were the sons of Gilʹe·ad: of Ieʹzer, the family of the Ieʹzer·ites; of Heʹlek, the family of the Heʹlek·ites; ³¹ of Asʹri·el, the family of the Asʹri·el·ites; of Sheʹchem, the family of the Sheʹchem·ites; ³² of She·miʹda, the family of the She·miʹda·ites; of Heʹpher, the family of the Heʹpher·ites. ³³ Now Ze·loʹphe·had the son of Heʹpher had no sons, only daughters,+ and the names of the daughters of Ze·loʹphe·had+ were Mahʹlah, Noah, Hogʹlah, Milʹcah, and Tirʹzah. ³⁴ These were the families of Ma·nasʹseh, and their registered ones were 52,700.+ ³⁵ These were the sons of Eʹphra·im+ by their families: of Shuʹthe·lah,+ the family of the Shuʹthel·aʹhites; of Beʹcher, the family of the Beʹcher·ites; of Taʹhan, the family of the Taʹhan·ites. ³⁶ And these were the sons of Shuʹthe·lah: of Eʹran, the family of the Eʹran·ites. ³⁷ These were the families of the sons of Eʹphra·im, and their registered ones were 32,500.+ These were the sons of Joseph by their families. ³⁸ The sons of Benjamin+ by their families were: of Beʹla,+ the family of the Beʹla·ites; of Ashʹbel, the family of the Ashʹbel·ites; of A·hiʹram, the family of the A·hiʹram·ites; ³⁹ of She·phuʹpham, the family of the Shuʹpham·ites; of Huʹpham, the family of the Huʹpham·ites. ⁴⁰ The sons of Beʹla were Ard and Naʹa·man:+ of Ard, the family of the Ardʹites; of Naʹa·man, the family of the Naʹa·mites. ⁴¹ These were the sons of Benjamin by their families, and their registered ones were 45,600.+ ⁴² These were the sons of Dan+ by their families: of Shuʹham, the family of the Shuʹham·ites. These were the families of Dan by their families. ⁴³ All the families of the Shuʹham·ites, of their registered ones, were 64,400.+ ⁴⁴ The sons of Ashʹer+ by their families were: of Imʹnah, the family of the Imʹnites; of Ishʹvi, the family of the Ishʹvites; of Be·riʹah, the family of the Be·riʹites; ⁴⁵ of the sons of Be·riʹah: of Heʹber, the family of the Heʹber·ites; of Malʹchi·el, the family of the Malʹchi·el·ites. ⁴⁶ The name of Ashʹer’s daughter was Seʹrah. ⁴⁷ These were the families of the sons of Ashʹer, and their registered ones were 53,400.+ ⁴⁸ The sons of Naphʹta·li+ by their families were: of Jahʹze·el, the family of the Jahʹze·el·ites; of Guʹni, the family of the Guʹnites; ⁴⁹ of Jeʹzer, the family of the Jeʹzer·ites; of Shilʹlem, the family of the Shilʹlem·ites. ⁵⁰ These were the families of Naphʹta·li by their families, and their registered ones were 45,400.+ ⁵¹ This is the total of those registered of the Israelites: 601,730.+ ⁵² After that Jehovah said to Moses: ⁵³ “Among these the land should be divided as an inheritance according to the list of the names.*+ ⁵⁴ For the larger groups, you should increase the inheritance, and for the smaller groups, you should reduce the inheritance.+ Each group’s inheritance should be given in proportion to the number of those registered. ⁵⁵ However, the land should be apportioned by lot.+ They should receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers. ⁵⁶ Each inheritance will be determined by lot and apportioned among the larger and the smaller groups.” ⁵⁷ Now these were the registered ones of the Levites+ by their families: of Gerʹshon, the family of the Gerʹshon·ites; of Koʹhath,+ the family of the Koʹhath·ites; of Me·rarʹi, the family of the Me·rarʹites. ⁵⁸ These were the families of the Levites: the family of the Libʹnites,+ the family of the Hebʹron·ites,+ the family of the Mahʹlites,+ the family of the Muʹshites,+ the family of the Korʹah·ites.+ Koʹhath became father to Amʹram.+ ⁵⁹ And the name of Amʹram’s wife was Jochʹe·bed,+ Leʹvi’s daughter, whom his wife bore to Leʹvi in Egypt. And to Amʹram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Mirʹi·am.+ ⁶⁰ Then to Aaron there were born Naʹdab, A·biʹhu, El·e·aʹzar, and Ithʹa·mar.+ ⁶¹ But Naʹdab and A·biʹhu died for presenting unauthorized fire before Jehovah.+ ⁶² The total of those registered was 23,000, all males from a month old and up.+ For they were not registered among the Israelites,+ because no inheritance was to be given to them among the Israelites.+ ⁶³ These were the ones registered by Moses and El·e·aʹzar the priest when they registered the Israelites in the desert plains of Moʹab by the Jordan at Jerʹi·cho. ⁶⁴ But among them there was no one who had been registered by Moses and Aaron the priest in the census of the Israelites taken in the wilderness of Siʹnai.+ ⁶⁵ For Jehovah had said concerning them: “They will die without fail in the wilderness.”+ So there was not a man left of them except Caʹleb the son of Je·phunʹneh and Joshua the son of Nun.+
