Numbers 26:51-62

51There were 601,730 men on the list of all the Israelites.

52The Lord said to Moses,

53‘I will give part of the land to each tribe. You need to know the number of names that you have on your list for each tribe.

54The big tribes will receive a big piece of land. The small tribes will receive a smaller piece of land.

55You must use lots to decide the land that each tribe receive.

56The larger clans must have more land than the smaller clans.’

57The Levites included these clans: Gershon's family, Kohath's family and Merari's family.

58It also included these clans: Libni's family, Hebron's family, Mahli's family, Mushi's family and Korah's family. Kohath was the father of Amram.

59The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed. She was a descendant of Levi, and she was born in Egypt. Amram and Jochebed were the parents of Moses and Aaron, and their sister Miriam.

60Aaron was the father of Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

61Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire to the Lord.

62There were 23,000 male Levites who were more than one month old. Moses did not include them on the list of the other Israelite tribes. They did not receive any land as the other tribes did.
