Numbers 26:1-7 ▼

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

2 “Take a census of the whole congregation of the Israelites, from twenty years old and upward, by their ancestral houses, everyone in Israel able to go to war.”

3 Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,

4 “Take a census of the people, from twenty years old and upward,” as the LORD commanded Moses. The Israelites, who came out of the land of Egypt, were:

5 Reuben, the firstborn of Israel. The descendants of Reuben: of Hanoch, the clan of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the clan of the Palluites;

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

7 These are the clans of the Reubenites; the number of those enrolled was forty-three thousand seven hundred thirty.
