Numbers 26:1-7 ▼

1 After the plague the LORD said to Moses and Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest:

2 Take a census, by ancestral houses, throughout the community of the Israelites of all those of twenty years or more who are eligible for military service in Israel.

3 So on the plains of Moab along the Jordan at Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest enrolled them,

4 those of twenty years or more, as the LORD had commanded Moses. The Israelites who came out of the land of Egypt were as follows:

5 Reuben, the firstborn of Israel. The descendants of Reuben by their clans were: through Hanoch, the clan of the Hanochites; through Pallu, the clan of the Palluites;

6 through Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites; through Carmi, the clan of the Carmites.

7 These were the clans of the Reubenites, and those enrolled numbered forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty.
