Numbers 26:52–62

⁵²Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ^53z“To these the land shall be ^adivided as an inheritance, according to the number of names. ^54bTo a large tribe you shall give a larger inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a smaller inheritance. Each shall be given its inheritance according to those who were numbered of them. ⁵⁵But the land shall be ^cdivided by lot; they shall inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers. ⁵⁶According to the lot their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller.”

^57dAnd 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 the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begot Amram. ⁵⁹The name of Amram’s wife was ^eJochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam. ^60fTo Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ⁶¹And ^gNadab and Abihu died when they offered profane fire before the Lord.

^62hNow those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; ⁱfor they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was ^jno inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.
