After the Plague, a New Count
26 1 After the plague, our Father said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,
2 Take a census of the whole Israelite community by ancestral house, everyone twenty and older able to serve in Israel's army.
3 Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho: 4 "Count the people twenty years old and up, as our Father commanded Moses." These were Israel's people who came from the land of Egypt:
5 Reuben, Israel's firstborn. Sons of Reuben: Hanoch, clan of the Hanochites; Pallu, clan of the Palluites. 6 of Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the clan of the Carmites. 7 These are the clans of the Reubenites; they numbered 43,730. 8 The sons of Pallu: Eliab. 9 Eliab's sons: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram — the same Dathan and Abiram, community representatives who challenged Moses and Aaron in Korah's assembly, when they challenged our Father, 10 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and Korah, when the company died and the fire consumed 250 men — they became a warning. 11 But the sons of Korah did not die.

35 These are Ephraim's descendants by family: Shuthelah, family of the Shuthelahites; Becher, family of the Becherites; Tahan, family of the Tahanites. 36 And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the clan of the Eranites. 37 These are the clans of Ephraim's sons, by their count: 32,500. These are Joseph's sons by their clans.
38 Benjamin's sons by clan: Bela, clan of the Belaites; Ashbel, clan of the Ashbelites; Ahiram, clan of the Ahiramites. 39 of Shephupham, the clan of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the clan of the Huphamites. 40 Bela's sons: Ard and Naaman — from Ard, the Ardite clan; from Naaman, the Naamite clan. 41 These are the sons of Benjamin by their clans; they numbered 45,600.
42 These were Dan's sons by clan: from Shuham, the Shuhamite clan. These were Dan's clans by clan. 43 All the clans of the Shuhamites numbered 64,400.

52 Then our Father said to Moses,
53 "Among these the land shall be divided for inheritance according to the number of names. 54 Give the larger group more land, the smaller less — each share sized to its census count. 55 But the land must be divided by lot; they will inherit according to their fathers' tribal names. 56 Their inheritance shall be apportioned by lot between the larger and the smaller."
57 These are the numbered Levites by their clans: Gershon's clan, the Gershonites; Kohath's clan, the Kohathites; Merari's clan, the Merarites. 58 Levi's clans: Libnite clan, Hebronite clan, Mahlite clan, Mushite clan, Korahite clan. Kohath fathered Amram. 59 Amram's wife was named Jochebed, Levi's daughter, born to Levi in Egypt; she bore Amram Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam. 60 And to Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unauthorized fire before our Father. 62 The Levites counted numbered 23,000, every male a month old and up. They were not counted among the Israelites, since no inheritance was given them among the Israelites.
63 Moses and Eleazar the priest counted these on the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. 64 None of these had been counted by Moses and Aaron the priest in the wilderness of Sinai. 65 For our Father had said of them, 'They would surely die in the wilderness.' None remained, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
