Numbers 26:1-65 CSB

[1] After the plague, the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [2] "Take a census of the entire Israelite community by their ancestral families of those twenty years old or more who can serve in Israel's army." [3] So Moses and the priest Eleazar said to them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, [4] "Take a census of those twenty years old or more, as the LORD had commanded Moses and the Israelites who came out of the land of Egypt." [5] Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. Reuben's descendants: the Hanochite clan from Hanoch; the Palluite clan from Pallu; [6] the Hezronite clan from Hezron; the Carmite clan from Carmi. [7] These were the Reubenite clans, and their registered men numbered 43,730. [8] The son of Pallu was Eliab. [9] The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. (It was Dathan and Abiram, chosen by the community, who fought against Moses and Aaron; they and Korah's followers fought against the LORD. [10] The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them with Korah, when his followers died and the fire consumed 250 men. They serve as a warning sign. [11] The sons of Korah, however, did not die.)

The names of Zelophehad's daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. [34] These were Manasseh's clans, numbered by their registered men: 52,700. [35] These were Ephraim's descendants by their clans: the Shuthelahite clan from Shuthelah; the Becherite clan from Becher; the Tahanite clan from Tahan.

[38] Benjamin's descendants by their clans: the Belaite clan from Bela; the Ashbelite clan from Ashbel; the Ahiramite clan from Ahiram; [39] the Shuphamite clan from Shupham; the Huphamite clan from Hupham. [40] Bela's descendants from Ard and Naaman: the Ardite clan from Ard; the Naamite clan from Naaman. [41] These were the Benjaminite clans numbered by their registered men: 45,600. [42] These were Dan's descendants by their clans: the Shuhamite clan from Shuham. These were the clans of Dan by their clans. [43] All the Shuhamite clans numbered by their registered men: 64,400. [44] Asher's descendants by their clans: the Imnite clan from Imnah; the Ishvite clan from Ishvi; the Beriite clan from Beriah.

[52] The LORD spoke to Moses, [53] "The land is to be divided among them as an inheritance based on the number of names. [54] Increase the inheritance for a large tribe and decrease it for a small one. Each is to be given its inheritance according to those who were registered in it. [55] The land is to be divided by lot; they will receive an inheritance according to the names of their ancestral tribes. [56] Each inheritance will be divided by lot among the larger and smaller tribes." [57] These were the Levites registered by their clans: the Gershonite clan from Gershon; the Kohathite clan from Kohath; the Merarite clan from Merari. [58] These were the Levite family groups: the Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, and the Korahite clan. Kohath was the ancestor of Amram. [59] The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, born to Levi in Egypt. She bore to Amram: Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam. [60] Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar were born to Aaron, [61] but Nadab and Abihu died when they presented unauthorized fire before the LORD. [62] Those registered were 23,000, every male one month old or more; they were not registered among the other Israelites, because no inheritance was given to them among the Israelites. [63] These were the ones registered by Moses and the priest Eleazar when they registered the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. [64] But among them there was not one of those who had been registered by Moses and the priest Aaron when they registered the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai. [65] For the LORD had said to them that they would all die in the wilderness. None of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
