Numbers 26:1-7 ▼

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

2 “Take a census of the whole Israelite community by families—all those twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army of Israel.”

3 So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said,

4 “Take a census of the men twenty years old or more, as the LORD commanded Moses.” These were the Israelites who came out of Egypt:

5 The descendants of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel, were: through Hanok, the Hanokite clan; through Pallu, the Palluite clan;

6 through Hezron, the Hezronite clan; through Karmi, the Karmite clan.

7 These were the clans of Reuben; those numbered were 43,730.
