1 After the plague the LORD said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,
2 "Count the heads of the whole congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and above, by the house of their fathers—everyone in Israel who goes out to war."
3 So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, saying,
4 "Count those twenty years old and above, as the LORD commanded Moses." The children of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were these:

7 These were the Reubenite clans; their registered men came to forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty.
8 Pallu's son was Eliab,
9 and Eliab's sons were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. This was the same Dathan and Abiram, men called to the congregation, who struggled against Moses and Aaron in Korah's band when it struggled against the LORD.
10 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah when that band died, when the fire consumed the two hundred and fifty men; and they became a warning.

35 These were the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: from Shuthelah, the Shuthelahite clan; from Becher, the Becherite clan; from Tahan, the Tahanite clan.
36 And these were the descendants of Shuthelah: from Eran, the Eranite clan.

52 The LORD said to Moses,
53 "The land is to be distributed among these as an inheritance, according to the number of names.
54 To a large group give a large inheritance, and to a small group a small one; each is to be given its inheritance in proportion to its registered men.
55 But the land is to be distributed by lot; they will inherit by the names of their fathers' tribes.
56 Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot between the larger and the smaller groups."
57 These were the registered men of the Levites by their clans: from Gershon, the Gershonite clan; from Kohath, the Kohathite clan; from Merari, the Merarite clan.
58 These were the Levite clans: the Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, and the Korahite clan. Kohath was the father of Amram.
59 Amram's wife was named Jochebed, a daughter of Levi who was born to Levi in Egypt. She bore Amram Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam.
60 Aaron became the father of Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61 Nadab and Abihu died when they brought strange fire before the LORD.
62 Their registered men, every male a month old and above, came to twenty-three thousand. They had not been registered among the children of Israel, because no inheritance was given to them among the children of Israel.
63 These were the men registered by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they registered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
64 Among them there was not one man of those registered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they registered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the LORD had said of them that they would surely die in the wilderness. Not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
