Numbers 26:1-65

26  And it came to pass, after the plague, that Yahweh spake unto Moses, and unto Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saying:  Reckon ye up the sum of all the assembly of the sons of Israel, from twenty years old and upwards, by their ancestral houses,—every one able to go forth to war in Israel.  So then Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the waste plains of Moab,—by the Jordan near Jericho, saying:  From twenty years old and upwards, As Yahweh commanded Moses and the sons of Israel, who had come forth out of the land of Egypt.  Reuben, the firstborn of Israel,—the sons of Reuben, [To] Hanoch [pertained] the family of the Hanochites; To Pallu the family of the Palluites;  To Hezron the family of the Hezronites,—To Carmi the family of the Carmites.  These are the families of the Reubenites,—and they who were numbered of them were found to be—forty-three thousand, and seven hundred and thirty.  Now the sons of Pallu were Eliab;  and the sons of Eliab, Nemuel, and Dathan and Abiram,—The same, Dathan and Abiram, notable men of the assembly who contended against Moses and against Aaron in the assembly of Korah, when they contended against Yahweh; 10  and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up—with Korah also when the assembly died,—when the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men, and they became a warning; 11  But the sons of Korah died not. 12  The sons of Simeon by their families, To Nemuel pertained the family of the Nemuelites, To Jamin the family of the Jaminites,—To Jachin the family of the Jachinites: 13  To Zerah the family of the Zerahites,—To Shaul the family of the Shaulites: 14  These are the families of the Simeonites,—two and twenty thousand and two hundred. 15  The sons of Gad by their families, To Zephon pertained the family of the Zephonites; To Haggi the family of the Haggites,—To Shuni the family of the Shunites; 16  To Ozni the family of the Oznites,—To Eri the family of the Erites; 17  To Arod the family of the Arodites,—To Arelites the family of the Arelites: 18  These are the families of the sons of Gad, as to them who were numbered of them,—forty thousand and five hundred. 19  The sons of Judah, Er and Onan,—but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. 20  And so, as to the sons of Judah by their families, it was found that—To Shelah pertained the family of the Shelanites, To Perez the family of the Perezites,—To Zerah the family of the Zerahites; 21  And as to the sons of Perez, it was found that—To Hezron pertained the family of the Hezronites,—To Hamul the family of the Hamulites: 22  These are the families of Judah, as to them who were numbered of them,—seventy-six thousand and five hundred. 23  The sons of Issachar by their families, Unto Tola [pertained] the family of the Tolaites,—To Puvah the family of the Punites; 24  To Jashub the family of the Jashubites,—To Shimron the family of the Shimronites: 25  These are the families of Issachar, as to them who were numbered of them,—sixty-four thousand and three hundred. 26  The sons of Zebulun, by their families, To Sered pertained the family of the Seredites, To Elon the family of the Elonites,—To Jahleel the family of the Jahleelites: 27  These are the families of the Zebulunites, as to them who were numbered of them,—sixty thousand and five hundred. 28  The sons of Joseph by their families,—Manasseh and Ephraim. 29  The sons of Manasseh, To Machir pertained the family of the Machirites, and Machir begat Gilead,—To Gilead pertained the family of the Gileadites. 30  These are the sons of Gilead: Iezer, the family of the Iezerites,—To Helek the family of the Helekites; 31  And Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; And Shechem, the family of the Shechemites; 32  And Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; And Hepher, the family of the Hepherites. 33  Now Zelophehad, son of Hepher, had no sons, but only daughters,—and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah. 34  These are the families of Manasseh,—and they who were numbered of them,—fifty-two thousand and seven hundred. 35  These are the sons of Ephraim by their families, To Shuthelah pertained the family of the Shuthelahites, To Becher the family of the Becherites,—To Tahan the family of the Tahanites. 36  And these are the sons of Shuthelah, To Eran pertained the family of the Eranites. 37  These are the families of the sons of Ephraim, as to them who were numbered of them,—thirty-two thousand and five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph, by their families. 38  The sons of Benjamin by their families, To Bela pertained the family of the Belaites, To Ashbel the family of the Ashbelites,—To Ahiram the family of the Ahiramites; 39  To Shephupham the family of the Shuphamites,—To Hupham the family of the Huphamites. 40  And the sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman,—[To Ard pertained] the family of the Ardites, To Naaman, the family of the Naamites. 41  These are the sons of Benjamin by their families,—and they who were numbered of them,—were forty-five thousand and six hundred. 42  These are the sons of Dan by their families: To Shuham pertained the family of the Shuhamites,—These are the families of Dan by their families: 43  All the families of the Shuhamites, as to them who were numbered of them, were sixty-four thousand and four hundred. 44  The sons of Asher by their families: To Imnah pertained the family of the Imnites, To Ishvi the family of the Ishvites,—To Beriah the family of the Beriites; 45  To the sons of Beriah, To Heber pertained the family of the Heberites, To Malchiel the family of the Malchielites; 46  And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serah. 47  These are the families of the sons of Asher, as to them who were numbered of them,—fifty-three thousand and four hundred. 48  The sons of Naphtali by their families, To Jahzeel pertained the family of the Jahzeelites; To Guni the family of the Gunites: 49  To Jezer the family of the Jezerites; To Shillem the family of the Shillemites. 50  These are the families of Naphtali by their families,—and they who were numbered of them, were forty-five thousand and four hundred. 51  These are they who were numbered of the sons of Israel, six hundred and one thousand,—seven hundred and thirty. 52  Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: 53  Unto these shall be apportioned the land as an inheritance by the number of names. 54  For the large one thou shalt make large his inheritance, and for the small one thou shalt make small his inheritance,—unto each one in proportion to them who were numbered of him shall be given his inheritance. 55  Nevertheless, by lot shall the land be apportioned,—by the names of the tribes of their fathers shall they inherit. 56  At the bidding of the lot shall be apportioned his inheritance,—between large and small. 57  And these are they who were numbered of the Levites by their families, To Gershon pertained the family of the Gershonites, To Kohath the family of the Kohathites; To Merari the family of the Merarites. 58  These are the families of Levi—The family of the Libnites, The family of the Hebronites, The family of the Mahlites, The family of the Mushites, The family of the Korahites,—And Kohath begat Amram; 59  and the name of the wife of Amram was Jochebed, daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt,—and she bare to Amram, Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. 60  And there were born to Aaron, Nadab and Abihu,—Eleazar and Ithamar; 61  But Nadab and Abihu died,—when they brought near strange fire before Yahweh: 62  And they who were numbered of them were found to be—twenty-three thousand, all the males from one month old and upwards,—for they had not numbered themselves in the midst of the sons of Israel, because there was given unto them no inheritance, in the midst of the sons of Israel. 63  These are they who were numbered by Moses, and Eleazar the priest,—when they numbered the sons of Israel in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho. 64  And among these was there not found a man of them who had been numbered by Moses, and Aaron the priest,—when they numbered the sons of Israel in the desert of Sinai. 65  For Yahweh had said of them, They shall surely die in the desert. And there was not left of them a man, save only Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.
