Numbers 26:56-65 Common English Bible (CEB)

56. Whether they are large or small, each tribe will inherit by means of the lot.

57. These are the ones enrolled as Levites according to their clans: from Gershon, the Gershonite clan; from Kohath, the Kohathite clan; from Merari, the Merarite clan.

58. These are the Levite clans: the Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, and the Korahite clan. Now Kohath fathered Amram.

59. The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, Levi’s daughter, who was born to Levi in Egypt. She gave birth for Amram to Aaron, Moses, and Miriam their sister.

60. To Aaron were born Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

61. Nadab and Abihu died when they made an unauthorized offering to the Lord.

62. Their enrollment was 23,000, consisting of every male one month old and above. They weren’t enrolled with the Israelites because no inheritance of land was given to them among the Israelites.

63. These are the ones whom Moses and Eleazar the priest enrolled. They enrolled the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

64. There wasn’t one person among these from those enrolled by Moses and Aaron the priest when they enrolled the Israelites in the Sinai desert.

65. The Lord had said to them, "They will die in the desert." Not one of them remained, except Caleb, Jephunneh’s son, and Joshua, Nun’s son.
