52 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

53 “The land is apportioned to these by inheritance, by the number of names;

54 to the many you increase their inheritance, and to the few you diminish their inheritance; each is given his inheritance according to his numbered ones.

55 Surely the land is apportioned by lot; they inherit by the names of the tribes of their fathers;

56 their inheritance is apportioned according to the lot between many and few.”

61 and Nadab dies—Abihu also—in their bringing strange fire near before YHWH.

62 And their numbered ones are twenty-three thousand, every male from a son of a month and upwards, for they have not numbered themselves in the midst of the sons of Israel, because an inheritance has not been given to them in the midst of the sons of Israel.

63 These [are] those numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who have numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho;

64 and among these there has not been a man of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai,

65 for YHWH said of them, “They certainly die in the wilderness”; and there has not been left a man of them, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
