2. "Take a 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 out to war in Israel."
3. So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them 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." Now the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were:
5. Reuben, Israel's firstborn, the sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites;
6. of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.
7. These are the families of the Reubenites, and those who were numbered of them were 43,730.
8. The son of Pallu: Eliab.
9. The sons of Eliab: Nemuel and Dathan and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram who were called by the congregation, who contended against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the Lord,
10. and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up along with Korah, when that company died, when the fire devoured 250 men, so that they became a warning.
11. The sons of Korah, however, did not die.
12. The sons of Simeon according to their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites;
13. of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites; of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites.
14. These are the families of the Simeonites, 22,200.
15. The sons of Gad according to their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the family of the Haggites; of Shuni, the family of the Shunites;
16. of Ozni, the family of the Oznites; of Eri, the family of the Erites;
17. of Arod, the family of the Arodites; of Areli, the family of the Arelites.
18. These are the families of the sons of Gad according to those who were numbered of them, 40,500.
19. The sons of Judah were Er and Onan, but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.
