26After the plague was over, the Lord told Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, 2“Census all the Israelites by family—all those twenty years of age or older who are eligible for military service in the army of Israel.”

3There on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest gave the order, 4“Census the men twenty years of age or older, following the instructions the Lord gave to Moses.”

The following is the genealogical record of those who left the land of Egypt.

5These were the descendants of Reuben, Israel's firstborn:

Hanoch, ancestor of the Hanochite family; Pallu, ancestor of the Palluite family; 6Hezron, ancestor of the Hezronite family; and Carmi, ancestor of the Carmite family. 7These were the families descended from Reuben and they numbered 43,730. 8Pallu's son was Eliab, 9and Eliab's sons were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. (It was Dathan and Abiram, leaders chosen by the Israelites, who joined the rebellion against Moses and Aaron with the followers of Korah when they rebelled against the Lord. 10The earth opened up and swallowed them down, along with Korah. His followers died when the fire burned up 250 men. What happened to them was a warning to the Israelites. 11But Korah's sons didn't die.)

12These were the descendants of Simeon by family:

Tola, ancestor of the Tolaite family; Puvah,[fn] ancestor of the Punite family; 24Jashub, ancestor of the Jashubite family; and Shimron, ancestor of the Shimronite family. 25These were the families descended from Isaachar and they numbered 64,300.

26These were the descendants of Zebulun by family:

28These were descendants of Joseph by family through Manasseh and Ephraim: 29The descendants of Manasseh:

30The descendants of Gilead: Izer, ancestor of the Iezerite family; Helek, ancestor of the Helekite family; 31Asriel, ancestor of the Asrielite family; Shechem, ancestor of the Shechemite family; 32Shemida, ancestor of the Shemidaite family; and Hepher, ancestor of the Hepherite family. 33(Zelophehad, son of Hepher, didn't have any sons, only daughters. Their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.) 34These were the families descended from Manasseh, and they numbered 52,700.

35These were the descendants of Ephraim by family:

Shuthelah, ancestor of the Shuthelahite family; Becher, ancestor of the Becherite family; and Tahan, ancestor of the Tahanite family. 36The descendant of Shuthelah was Eran, ancestor of the Eranite family. 37These were the families descended from Ephraim, and they numbered 32,500. These families were the descendants of Joseph.

38These were the descendants of Benjamin by family:

Bela, ancestor of the Belaite family; Ashbel, ancestor of the Ashbelite family; Ahiram, ancestor of the Ahiramite family; 39Shupham,[fn] ancestor of the Shuphamite family; and Hupham, ancestor of the Huphamite family. 40The descendants of Bela were Ard, ancestor of the Ardite family; and Naaman, ancestor of the Naamite family. 41These were the families descended from Benjamin, and they numbered 45,600.

42These were the descendants of Dan by family:

Shuham, ancestor of the Shuhamite families. 43They were all Shuhamite families, and they numbered 64,400.

44These were the descendants of Asher by family:

Imnah, ancestor of the Imnite family; Ishvi, ancestor of the Ishvite family; and Beriah, ancestor of the Beriite family. 45The descendants of Beriah were Heber, ancestor of the Heberite family; and Malchiel, ancestor of the Malchielite family. 46The name of Asher's daughter was Serah. 47These were the families descended from Asher, and they numbered 53,400.

48These were the descendants of Naphtali by family:

Jahzeel, ancestor of the Jahzeelite family; Guni, ancestor of the Gunite family; 49Jezer, ancestor of the Jezerite family; and Shillem, ancestor of the Sheillemite family. 50These were the families descended from Naphtali, and they numbered 45,400.

51The total of all those counted was 601,730.

52The Lord told Moses, 53“Divide the land that is to be owned based on the number of those censused. 54Give a larger area of land to large tribe, and a smaller area to a smaller tribe. Each tribe shall receive their allotment of land depending on their number counted in the census.

55The land has to be divided up by casting lots. Everyone shall receive their allotted land based on the name of their ancestor's tribe. 56Every allocation of land is to be divided by casting lots among the tribes, whether large or small.”

57These were the Levites censused by family:

Gershon, ancestor of the Gershonite family; Kohath, ancestor of the Kohathite family; and Merari, ancestor of the Merarite family. 58The following were the families of the Levites: the Libnite family, the Hebronite family, the Mahlite family, the Mushite family, and the Korahite family. Kohath was the father of Amram, 59and the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed. She was a descendant of Levi, born while the Levites were in Egypt. She had children with Amram: Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam. 60Aaron's sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, 61but Nadab and Abihu died when they offered forbidden fire in the Lord's presence.

62The number of the Levites censused totaled 23,000. This included every male one month old or older. However, they were not counted with the other Israelites, because no land allotment was given to them with the other Israelites.

63This is the record of those were censused by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan opposite Jericho.

64However, they did not include a single one who had previously been censused by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Sinai Desert, 65because the Lord had told them that they would all die in the desert. No one was left except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun.
