26 When the bad disease stopped killing people, the Lord spoke to Moses and to Eleazar, the son of Aaron. 2 He said, ‘Count all the Israelites, clan by clan. Count all the men who are 20 years old or older. Count only those men who can fight in the army.’ 3 So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke to the Israelites. Their camp was on the flat ground of Moab, beside the Jordan River. Jericho was on the other side of the river. They said, 4 ‘Count all the men who are 20 years old or older. The Lord has told Moses that we must do that.’

Korah was their leader and they all turned against the Lord . 10 A hole opened in the ground. Korah, Dathan, Abiram and their families fell into the hole and they died. And fire killed 250 other men.

52 The Lord said to Moses, 53 ‘I will give part of the land to each tribe. You need to know the number of names that you have on your list for each tribe. 54 The big tribes will receive a big piece of land. The small tribes will receive a smaller piece of land. 55 You must use lots to decide the land that each tribe receive. 56 The larger clans must have more land than the smaller clans.’

[ b ]
62 There were 23,000 male Levites who were more than one month old. Moses did not include them on the list of the other Israelite tribes. They did not receive any land as the other tribes did.
63 Those are the men that Moses and Eleazar the priest counted. They counted them on the flat ground in Moab beside the Jordan River. Jericho was on the other side of the river. 64 None of the men that Moses and Aaron had counted in the Sinai desert were still alive. 65 The Lord had said about those men, ‘They will certainly die in the desert.’ Among all those men, only Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun were still alive.
26 After the great sickness, the Lord spoke to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the priest. 2 He said, “Count the Israelites. Count all the men who are 20 years old or older and list them by families. These are the men who are able to serve in the army of Israel.”
3 At this time the people were camped in the Jordan Valley in Moab. This was near the Jordan River, across from Jericho. So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke to the people. They said, 4 “You must count every man who is 20 years old or older. The Lord gave Moses this command.”

The land that they get will be equal to the number of people who were counted. 55 But you must use lots to decide which tribe gets which part of the land.

Not one of them was still alive, 65 because the Lord told them that they would all die in the desert. The only two men who were left alive were Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
26 And it came to pass after the plague, that the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

65 For the Lord had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
26 [ a ] Then it came about after the ( A ) plague, [ b ] that the Lord spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, 2 “ ( B ) Take a [ c ] census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ households, whoever is able to go to war in Israel.” 3 So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them ( C ) in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 4 “ Take a census of the people from twenty years old and upward, as the Lord has commanded Moses.”

52 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 53 “ [ s ] Among these the land shall be divided as an inheritance according to the number of names. 54 ( AF ) To a larger group you shall increase their inheritance, and to a smaller group you shall decrease their inheritance; each shall be given their inheritance corresponding to the total of those who were numbered of them. 55 But the land shall be ( AG ) divided by lot. They shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers. 56 Corresponding to the selection by lot, their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller groups .”

26 After the plague ( A ) the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, 2 “Take a census ( B ) of the whole Israelite community by families—all those twenty years old or more who are able to serve in the army ( C ) of Israel.” 3 So on the plains of Moab ( D ) by the Jordan across from Jericho, ( E ) Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said, 4 “Take a census of the men twenty years old or more, as the Lord commanded Moses.”
