Numbers 26:52–62

⁵²Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

⁵³“¹Among these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

⁵⁴“^aTo the larger group you shall increase their inheritance, and to the smaller group you shall diminish their inheritance; each shall be given their inheritance according to those who were numbered of them.

⁵⁵“But the land shall be ^adivided by lot. They shall ¹receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.

⁵⁶“According to the selection by lot, their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller groups.”

^57aAnd these are those who were numbered of the Levites according to 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 Levi: 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. ^aKohath ¹became the father of Amram.

⁵⁹And the name of Amram’s wife ^awas Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram: Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam.

^60aAnd to Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

^61aBut Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before Yahweh.

⁶²And those who were numbered of them were ^a23,000, every male from a month old and upward, for ^bthey were not numbered among the sons of Israel ^csince no inheritance was given to them among the sons of Israel.
