Numbers 26:57-64

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.

63Those are the men that Moses and Eleazar the priest counted. They counted them on the flat ground in Moab beside the Jordan River. Jericho was on the other side of the river.

64None of the men that Moses and Aaron had counted in the Sinai desert were still alive.
