Numbers 26:42-65 ▼

42 These [are] sons of Dan by their families: of Shuham [is] the family of the Shuhamite; these [are] families of Dan by their families;

43 all the families of the Shuhamite by their numbered ones—sixty-four thousand and four hundred.

44 Sons of Asher by their families: of Jimna [is] the family of the Jimnite; of Jesui the family of the Jesuite; of Beriah the family of the Beriite.

45 Of sons of Beriah: of Heber [is] the family of the Heberite; of Malchiel the family of the Malchielite.

46 And the name of the daughter of Asher [is] Sarah.

47 These [are] families of the sons of Asher by their numbered ones—fifty-three thousand and four hundred.

48 Sons of Naphtali by their families: of Jahzeel [is] the family of the Jahzeelite; of Guni the family of the Gunite;

49 of Jezer the family of the Jezerite; of Shillem the family of the Shillemite.

50 These [are] families of Naphtali by their families, and their numbered ones [are] forty-five thousand and four hundred.

51 These [are] numbered ones of the sons of Israel—six hundred thousand and one thousand seven hundred and thirty.

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.”

57 And these [are] numbered ones of the Levite by their families: of Gershon [is] the family of the Gershonite; of Kohath the family of the Kohathite; of Merari the family of the Merarite.

58 These [are] families of the Levite: the family of the Libnite, the family of the Hebronite, the family of the Mahlite, the family of the Mushite, the family of the Korathite. And Kohath has begotten Amram,

59 and the name of Amram’s wife is Jochebed, daughter of Levi, whom has been born to Levi in Egypt; and she bears to Amram Aaron, and Moses, and their sister Miriam.

60 And born to Aaron [are] Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar;

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.
