Numbers 26:1-6 ▼

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.
