44 The descendantsa of Asher according to their clans: of Imnah, the clan of the Imnahites;b of Ishvi, the clan of the Ishvites;c of Beriah, the clan of the Beriahites.d 45 The descendantse of Beriah: of Heber, the clan of the Heberites;f of Malkiel, the clan of the Malkielites.g 46 The name of the daughter of Asher was Serah. 47 These were the clans of the descendantsh of Asher according to the ones counted of them, fifty-three thousand four hundred.

48 The descendantsi of Naphtali according to their clans: of Jahzeel, the clan of the Jahzeelites;j of Guni, the clan of the Gunites;k 49 of Jezer, the clan of the Jezerites;l of Shillem, the clan of the Shillemites.m 50 These were the clans of Naphtali according to their clans, the ones counted of them, forty-five thousand four hundred.

51 These were the ones counted of the Israelites,n six hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty.

52 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 53 “For these the land must be divided as an inheritance according to the number of names. 54 For the larger group you must increase their inheritance, and for the smaller group you must make smaller their inheritance; each must be given theiro inheritance according to the number of the ones counted of them. 55 Surely the land will be divided by lot. They will inherit according to the names of the tribes of their ancestors.p 56 Theirq inheritance must be divided according to the lot between the larger and smaller groups.”

57 These are the ones counted of the Levites according to their clans: of Gershon, the clan of the Gershonites;r of Kohath, the clan of the Kohathites;s of Merari, the clan of the Merarites.t 58 These are the clans of Levi: the clan of the Libnites,u the clan of the Hebronites,v the clan of the Mahlites,w the clan of the Mushites,x the clan of the Korahites.y Kohath fathered Amram. 59 The name of the wife of Amram was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whose mother bore her for Levi in Egypt; she bore to Amram: Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam. 60 To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they presented strange fire beforez Yahweh. 62 The ones counted were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month olda and above, because they were not counted in the midst of the Israelitesb since no inheritance was given to them in the midst of the Israelites.c

63 These were the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who counted the Israelitesd on the desert-plateau of Moab on the Jordan across Jericho. 64 And among these there was not a man of those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest, who counted the Israelitese in the desert of Sinai. 65 For Yahweh said to them, “They will surely die in the desert.” And not a man was left over from them, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
