55. Yet only in so far as the land is divided by lot to a tribe and to families.
56. Whatever the lot will happen to be, it shall be accepted, either by the greater, or by the lesser.
57. Likewise, this is the number of the sons of Levi by their families: Gershon, from whom is the family of the Gershonites; Kohath, from whom is the family of the Kohathites; Merari, from whom is the family of the Merarites.
58. These are the families of Levi: The family of Libni, the family of Hebroni, the family of Mahli, the family of Mushi, the family of Korah. Yet truly, Kohath conceived Amram,
59. who had a wife, Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to him in Egypt. She bore, to her husband Amram: sons, Aaron and Moses, as well as their sister, Miriam.
60. From Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, and Eleazar and Ithamar.
61. Of these, Nadab and Abihu died, when they had offered strange fire before the Lord.
62. And these were all who were numbered: twenty-three thousand of the male gender, from one month and above. For they were not counted among the sons of Israel, neither was a possession given to them with the others.
63. This is the number of the sons of Israel, who were enrolled by Moses and by Eleazar the priest, in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
64. Among these, not one of them was numbered before, by Moses and Aaron in the desert of Sinai.
65. For the Lord had foretold that all would die in the wilderness. And not one of them remained, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
