Numbers 26:2-51

2“1Take a 2census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ households, whoever is able to go to war in Israel.” 3So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them 3in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 4“Take a census of the people from twenty years old and upward, as the Lord has commanded Moses.”

Now the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were as follows:

5Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, the sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites; 6of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 7These are the families of the Reubenites, and those who were counted of them were 443,730. 8The son of Pallu: Eliab. 9The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram who were 5called by the congregation, who fought against Moses and against Aaron in the group of Korah, when they fought against the Lord, 10and 6the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up along with Korah, when that group died, 7when the fire devoured 250 men, so that they became a warning sign. 118The sons of Korah, however, did not die.
