Numbers - Chapter 26

1Now after the disease was over, the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, 2Let all the children of Israel be numbered, by the names of their fathers' families, all those of twenty years old and over who are able to go to war in Israel. 3So Moses and Eleazar the priest gave them the order in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, saying, 4Let all the people of twenty years old and over be numbered, as the Lord has given orders to Moses and the children of Israel who have come out of Egypt. 5Reuben, the first son of Israel: the sons of Reuben by their families: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites: 6Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 7These are the families of the Reubenites: their number was forty-three thousand, seven hundred and thirty. 8And the sons of Pallu, Eliab 9And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel and Dathan and Abiram. These are the same Dathan and Abiram who had a place in the meeting of the people, who together with Korah made an outcry against Moses and Aaron and against the Lord: 10And they went down into the open mouth of the earth, together with Korah, when death overtook him and all his band; at the time when two hundred and fifty men were burned in the fire, and they became a sign. 11But death did not overtake the sons of Korah. 12The sons of Simeon by their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites: 13Of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites: of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites. 14These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty-two thousand, two hundred. 15The sons of Gad by their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites: of Haggi, the family of the Haggites: of Shuni, the family of the Shunites: 16Of Ozni, the family of the Oznites: of Eri, the family of the Erites: 17Of Arod, the family of the Arodites: of Areli, the family of the Arelites. 18These are the families of the sons of Gad as they were numbered, forty thousand, five hundred. 19The sons of Judah, Er and Onan: and Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan. 20And the sons of Judah by their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelahites: of Perez, the family of the Perezites: of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites. 21And the sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. 22These are the families of Judah as they were numbered, seventy-six thousand, five hundred. 23The sons of Issachar by their families: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites: of Puvah, the family of the Punites: 24Of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites: of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites. 25These are the families of Issachar, as they were numbered, sixty-four thousand, three hundred. 26The sons of Zebulun by their families: of Sered, the family of the Seredites: of Elon, the family of the Elonites: of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites. 27These are the families of the Zebulunites as they were numbered, sixty thousand, five hundred. 28The sons of Joseph by their families: Manasseh and Ephraim. 29The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites: and Machir was the father of Gilead: of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites. 30These are the sons of Gilead: of Iezer, the family of the Iezerites: of Helek, the family of the Helekites: 31And of Asriel, the family of the Asrielites: and of Shechem, the family of the Shechemites: 32And of Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites: and of Hepher, the family of the Hepherites. 33And Zelophehad, the 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. 34These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were numbered of them were fifty-two thousand, seven hundred. 35These are the sons of Ephraim by their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites: of Becher, the family of the Becherites: of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. 36And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites: 37These are the families of Ephraim as they were numbered, thirty-two thousand, five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph by their families. 38The sons of Benjamin by their families: of Bela, the family of the Belaites: of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites: of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites: 39Of Shephupham, the family of the Shuphamites: and of Hupham, the family of the Huphamites. 40And the sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: of Ard, the family of the Ardites: of Naaman, the family of the Naamites. 41These are the sons of Benjamin by their families: and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand, six hundred. 42These are the sons of Dan by their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites.

And Kohath was the father of Amram. 59Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom he had in Egypt: by Amram she had Moses and Aaron and their sister Miriam. 60Aaron's sons were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61Death overtook Nadab and Abihu when they made an offering of strange fire before the Lord. 62Of these, twenty-three thousand males, from one month old and over, were numbered: they were not numbered with the rest of the children of Israel, for they had no heritage among the children of Israel. 63All these were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest when the children of Israel were numbered in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 64But among all these was not one of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when the children of Israel were numbered in the waste land of Sinai. 65For the Lord had said of them, Death will certainly overtake them in the waste land. And of them all, only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, were still living.
