Numbers 26 - New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB1995)

Census of a New Generation

26 ^[a]Then it came about after the ^(A)plague, ^[b]that the Lord spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, ² “^(B)Take a ^[c]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.” ³ So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them ^(C)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 the Lord has commanded Moses.”

Now the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were:

⁵ Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, the sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites; ⁶ of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. ⁷ These are the families of the Reubenites, and those who were numbered of them were ^(D)43,730. ⁸ The son of Pallu: Eliab. ⁹ The sons of Eliab: Nemuel and Dathan and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram who were ^(E)called by the congregation, who contended against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the Lord, ¹⁰ and ^(F)the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up along with Korah, when that company died, ^(G)when the fire devoured 250 men, so that they became a ^[d]warning. ^{11 (H)}The sons of Korah, however, did not die.

⁵² Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ⁵³ “^[u]Among these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names. ^{54 (AF)}To 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. ⁵⁵ But the land shall be ^(AG)divided by lot. They shall ^[v]receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers. ⁵⁶ According to the selection by lot, their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller groups.”

^{57 (AH)}These are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites. ⁵⁸ These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. ^(AI)Kohath ^[w]became the father of Amram. ⁵⁹ The name of Amram’s wife ^(AJ)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. ^{60 (AK)}To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ^{61 (AL)}But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before the Lord. ⁶² Those who were numbered of them were ^(AM)23,000, every male from a month old and upward, for ^(AN)they were not numbered among the sons of Israel ^(AO)since no inheritance was given to them among the sons of Israel.

⁶³ These 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. ^{64 (AP)}But 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. ⁶⁵ For the Lord had said ^[x]of them, “^(AQ)They shall surely die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, ^(AR)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
