52 Then the LORD said to Moses,

53 |The land these people will possess must be divided using the list of names [from the census].

54 Give more land to larger tribes and less land to smaller ones. Use the totals [from the census] in giving land to each tribe.

55 But the land must be divided by drawing lots. The tribes will receive their land based on the names of their ancestors.

56 Whether the tribes are large or small, the land must be divided by drawing lots.|

57 The families descended from [Levi] were listed as the family of Gershon, the family of Kohath, and the family of Merari.

61 But Nadab and Abihu had died because they offered unauthorized fire in the LORD's presence.

62 The total number of all the [Levite] males at least one month old was 23,000. They were not counted along with the other Israelites, because they were given no land of their own.

64 Among them there wasn't a single one of the Israelites Moses and the priest Aaron had counted in the Desert of Sinai.
