Numbers 26:52–62

⁵²And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ⁵³‘To these is the land apportioned by inheritance, by the number of names; ⁵⁴to the many thou dost increase their inheritance, and to the few thou dost diminish their inheritance; to each according to his numbered ones is given his inheritance.

⁵⁵‘Only by lot is the land apportioned, by the names of the tribes of their fathers they inherit; ⁵⁶according to the lot is their inheritance apportioned between many and few.’

⁵⁷And these are numbered ones of the Levite by their families: of Gershon is the family of the Gershonite; of Kohath the family of the Kohathite; of Merari the family of the Merarite. ⁵⁸These are families of the Levite: the family of the Libnite, the family of the Hebronite, the family of the Mahlite, the family of the Mushite, the family of the Korathite. And Kohath hath begotten Amram, ⁵⁹and the name of Amram’s wife is Jochebed, daughter of Levi, whom one hath born to Levi in Egypt; and she beareth to Amram Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam their sister. ⁶⁰And born to Aaron Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar; ⁶¹and Nadab dieth—Abihu also—in their bringing near strange fire before Jehovah. ⁶²And their numbered ones are three and twenty thousand, every male from a son of a month and upwards, for they have not numbered themselves in the midst of the sons of Israel; for an inheritance hath not been given to them in the midst of the sons of Israel.
