Numbers 26:52–62

⁵²And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ⁵³Unto these shall the land be divided for an inheritance according to the number of the names; ⁵⁴to the many thou shalt increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance; to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him. ⁵⁵Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers shall they inherit; ⁵⁶according to lot shall his inheritance be divided to each, be they many or few in number.

⁵⁷And these are the numbered of the Levites, after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites. ⁵⁸These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. —And Kohath begot Amram. ⁵⁹And the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. ⁶⁰And to Aaron were born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ⁶¹And Nadab and Abihu died, when they presented strange fire before Jehovah. ⁶²And those that were numbered of the Levites were twenty-three thousand, all males from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
