5-7. There were 43,730 men from the tribe of Reuben, the eldest son of Jacob. These men were from the clans of Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
8. Pallu was the father of Eliab
9. and the grandfather of Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the same Dathan and Abiram who had been chosen by the people, but who followed Korah and rebelled against Moses, Aaron, and the Lord.
44-47. There were 53,400 men from the tribe of Asher; they were from the clans of Imnah, Ishvi, and Beriah, and from the two clans of Heber and Malchiel, the sons of Beriah. Asher's daughter was Serah.
48-50. There were 45,400 men from the tribe of Naphtali; they were from the clans of Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
51. The total number of Israelite men listed was 601,730.
52. The Lord said to Moses,
53. “Divide the land of Canaan among these tribes, according to the number of people in each one,
54. so the larger tribes have more land than the smaller ones.
55-56. I will show you what land to give each tribe, and they will receive as much land as they need, according to the number of people in it.”
57. The tribe of Levi included the clans of the Gershonites, Kohathites, Merarites,
58. as well as the clans of Libni, Hebron, Mahli, Mushi, and Korah. Kohath the Levite was the father of Amram,
59. the husband of Levi's daughter Jochebed, who was born in Egypt. Amram and Jochebed's three children were Aaron, Moses, and Miriam.
60. Aaron was the father of Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61. But Nadab and Abihu had died when they offered fire that was unacceptable to the Lord.
62. In the tribe of Levi there were 23,000 men and boys at least a month old. They were not listed with the other tribes, because they would not receive any land in Canaan.
63. Moses and Eleazar counted the Israelites while they were camped in the hills of Moab across the River Jordan from Jericho.
64. None of the people that Moses and Aaron had counted in the Sinai Desert were still alive,
65. except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. The Lord had said that everyone else would die there in the desert.
