These are the kindreds of Aser in number fifty three
thousand and four hundred. The children of Nephthali in their kindreds
were: Iaheziel, of whom came the kindred of the Iahezielites: and Guni,
of whom came the kindred of the Gunites: and of Iezer, came the kindred
of the Iezerites: and of Selem the kindred of Selemites. These are the
kindreds of Naphthali in their generations in number forty five
thousand and four hundred. These are the numbers of the children of
Israel: six hundred thousand, and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.
And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: unto these the land shall be
divided to inherit, according to the number of names: to many thou
shalt give the more inheritance and to few the less: to every tribe
shall the inheritance be given according to the number thereof.
Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot, and according to the
names of the tribes of their fathers, they shall inherit: and according
to their lot thou shalt divide their land, both to the many and to the
few. These are the sums of the Levites in their kindreds: of Gerson,
came the kindred of the Gersonites: and of Cahath came the kindred of
the Cahathites: and of Merari came the kindred of the Merarites. These
are the kindreds of Levi: the kindred of the Libnites, the kindred of
the Hebronites, the kindred of the Mahelites, the kindred of the
Musites, the kindred of the Karahites. Kahath begat Amram, and Amram's
wife was called Iochebed a daughter of Levi, which was born him in
Egypt. And she bare unto Amram, Aaron, Moses and Miriam their sister.
And unto Aaron were born, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazer and Ithamar. But Nadab
and Abihu died, as they offered strange fire before the LORD. And the
number of them was twenty three thousand, of all the males from a month
old and above. For they were not numbered among the children of Israel,
because there was no inheritance given them among the children of
Israel. These are the numbers of the children of Israel which Moses and
Eleazer the priest numbered in the fields of Moab, fast by Iordan nye
to Iericho. And among these there was not a man of the number of the
children of Israel which Moses and Aaron told in the wilderness of
Sinai. For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the
wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb
the son of Iephune and Iosua the son of Nun.
