3. So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them on the desert-plateau of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, saying,
4. “Take a census of the community from those twenty years old and above, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.” The Israelites who went out from the land of Egypt were:
5. Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, the descendants of Reuben: of Hanoch, the clan of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the 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, and the ones counted of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty.
8. The children of Pallu: Eliab.
9. The children of Eliab: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the same Dathan and Abiram who were appointed of the community, who rebelled against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they rebelled against Yahweh,
10. and the land opened its mouth and swallowed them with Korah, when that company died, when the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men, and they were a sign.
11. The children of Korah, however, did not die.
