This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

The census total and the division of land

Num 26:51–56

51 The total of all those tribes counted came to 601,730 men.[fn]

52 Then Yahweh told Mosheh,[ref] 53 “The land should be allocated to those clans according to the number of their names, to become their inheritance. 54 Those with larger numbers should receive more, and the smaller groups receive less, i.e., each inheritance depends on the number of family members. 55 You must throw lots to determine which clan gets which piece of land. The lands of the clans must be within their tribal lands. 56 Then the size of the area that will become their inheritance must be apportioned according to the census numbers.


26:51 Slightly smaller than the total of 603,550 from the first census, see 1:46.
