The Book of Numbers 26

26 After the plague ended, Yahweh said to Eleazar and Moses, 2 “Count all the people of Israel again. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old who are able to fight in battles, along with their family names.” 3 So while the Israelites were on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho, Eleazar and Moses told this to the Israelite leaders, 4 “Write down the names of all the Israelite men who are at least 20 years old, as Yahweh has commanded us.”

So they did that, and this is a record of all the descendants of Jacob who came out of Egypt who were still alive.

5 These are the families who descended from Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son: the Hanokite family descended from his son Hanok; the Palluite family descended from his son Pallu; 6 the Hezronite family descended from his son Hezron; and the Karmite family descended from his son Karmi. 7 The Israelite leaders counted 43,730 men from the families that descended from Reuben 8 Pallu’s son was Eliab 9 and his grandsons were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram were the leaders who joined with Korah to conspire against Aaron and Moses and rebelled against Yahweh.

10 But the earth opened up and swallowed them and Korah. Yahweh also sent a fire that burned up 250 men who supported those three men. That was a warning to all the Israelite people that they should respect and obey the leaders whom Yahweh had appointed. 11 But all of those who descended from Korah did not die on that day.

12 These are the descendants of Simeon: the Nemuelite family descended from his son Nemuel; the Jaminite family descended from his son Jamin; the Jakinite family descended from his son Jakin; 13 the Zerahite family descended from his son Zerah; and the Shaulite family descended from his son Shaul. 14 The Israelite leaders counted 22,000 men from the families that descended from Simeon.

15 These are the families who descended from Gad: the Zephonite family descended from his son Zephon; the Haggite family descended from his son Haggo; the Shunite family descended from his son Shuni; 16 the Oznite family descended from his son Ozni; the Erite family descended from his son Eri; 17 the Arodite family descended from his son Arod; and the Arelite family descended from his son Areli;. 18 The Israelite leaders counted 40,500 men from the families that descended from Gad.

19 As for those who descended from Judah, his sons Er and Onan died in Canaan before they had any children. 20 These are the other people who descended from Judah: the Shelanite family descended from his son Shelah; the Perezite family descended from his son Perez; and the Zerahite family descended from his son Zerah. 21 These are the families who descended from Perez: the Hezronite family descended from his son Hezron and the Hamulite family descended from his son Hamul. 22 The Israelite leaders counted 76,500 men from the families that descended from Judah.

23 These are the families who descended from Issachar: the Tolaite family descended from his son Tola; the Puite family descended from his son Puah; 24 the Jashubite family descended from his son Jashub; and the Shimronite family descended from his son Shimron. 25 The Israelite leaders counted 64,300 men from the families that descended from Issachar.

26 These are the families who descended from Zebulun: the Seredite family descended from his son Sered; the Elonite family descended from his son Elon; and the Jahleelite family descended from his son Jahleel. 27 The Israelite leaders counted 60,500 men from the families that descended from Zebulun.

28 These are those who descended from Joseph, his sons were Manasseh and Ephraim. 29 These are the families who descended from Manasseh: the Makirite family descended from his son Makir; and the Gileadite family descended from Makir’s son Gilead.

30 These are the families who descended from Gilead: the Iezerite family descended from his son Iezer; the Helekite family descended from his son Helek; 31 the Asrielite family descended from his son Asriel; the Shechemite family descended from his son Shechem; 32 the Shemidaite family descended from his son Shemida; and the Hepherite family descended from his son Hepher.

33 Hepher’s son Zelophehad only had daughters. Their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah. 34 The Israelite leaders counted 52,700 men from the families that descended from Manasseh.

35 These are the families who descended from Ephraim: the Shuthelahite family descended from his son Shuthelah; the Bekerite family descended from his son Beker; and the Tahanite family descended from his son Tahan. 36 These is the the family that descended from Shuthelah: the Eranite family descended from his son Eran. 37 The Israelite leaders counted 32,500 men from the families that descended from Ephraim. These were the families that descended from Joseph.

38 These are the families who descended from Benjamin: the Belaite family descended from his son Bela; the Ashbelite family descended from his son Ashbel; the Ahiramite family descended from his son Ahiram; 39 the Shuphamite family descended from his son Shephupham; and the Huphamite family descended from his son Hupham. 40 Bela’s sons were Ard and Naaman: the Ardite family descended from Ard and the Naamite family descended from Naaman. 41 The Israelite leaders counted 45,600 men from the families that descended from Benjamin.

42 This is the family that descended from Dan: the Shuhamite family descended from his son Shuham. This is everyone who descended from Dan. 43 The Israelite leaders counted 64,400 men from the families that descended from Shuham.

44 These are the families that descended from Asher: the Imnite family descended from his son Imnah; the Ishvite family descnded from his son Ishvi; and the Beriite family descended from his son Beriah. 45 The Heberite family descended from Beriah’s son Heber, and the Malkielite family descended from Beriah’s son Malkiel. 46 Asher’s daughter was Serah. 47 The Israelite leaders counted 53,400 men from the families that descended from Asher.

48 These are the families that descended from Naphtali: the Jahzeelite family descended from his son Jahzeel; the Gunite family descended from his son Guni; 49 the Jezerite family descended from his son Jezer; and the Shillemite family descended from his son Shillem.

51 The total of the Israelite men whom the leaders counted was 601, 730.

52 Then Yahweh said to Moses, 53 “Divide Canaan land among the tribes. Distribute the land according to the number of people in each tribe that are on your lists. 54 Yahweh will give to each family an amount of land in proportion to how many people are in it. Families with many people will receive more land than families with less people. 55 Throw lots to determine which families receive each area of land. Families will inherit land according to which tribe they descended from. 56 The result of throwing lots will determine the area of land that each family receives. Allot the land between the families with many people and those with few people.”

57 The leaders also counted the male descendants of Levi. They were in clans descended from Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 58 These also included people from the clans of Libni, Hebron, Mahli, Mushi, and Korah. All of them were descendants of Levi. Kohath was the ancestor of Amram, 59 whose wife was Jochebed. She also was a descendant of Levi, but she was born in Egypt. She and Amram had two sons, Aaron and Moses, and their older sister Miriam. 60 Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they burned incense for a sacrifice to Yahweh in a way that disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded.

62 The leaders counted twenty-three thousand men from the descendants of Levi who were at least one month old. But these men were not counted when the rest of the Israelite people were counted, because were not given any land at that time.

63 Those were the men whom Eleazar and Moses said should be counted. They counted the Israelite people on the plains of Moab, on the east side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho. 64 None of the men whom they counted were on the lists that were made by Aaron and Moses when the Israelites were in the wilderness of Sinai. 65 They were told what Yahweh had said. He said, “They will all die in this desert,” and that is what happened. The only ones who were still alive were Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua.
