Numbers 26:55-65
But you must assign the land by lot, and give land to each ancestral tribe according to the number of names on the list.Each grant of land must be assigned by lot among the larger and smaller tribal groups.”This is the record of the Levites who were counted according to their clans: The Gershonite clan, named after their ancestor Gershon. The Kohathite clan, named after their ancestor Kohath. The Merarite clan, named after their ancestor Merari.The Libnites, the Hebronites, the Mahlites, the Mushites, and the Korahites were all subclans of the Levites. Now Kohath was the ancestor of Amram,and Amram’s wife was named Jochebed. She also was a descendant of Levi, born among the Levites in the land of Egypt. Amram and Jochebed became the parents of Aaron, Moses, and their sister, Miriam.To Aaron were born Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died when they burned before the Lord the wrong kind of fire, different than he had commanded.The men from the Levite clans who were one month old or older numbered 23,000. But the Levites were not included in the registration of the rest of the people of Israel because they were not given an allotment of land when it was divided among the Israelites.So these are the results of the registration of the people of Israel as conducted by Moses and Eleazar the priest on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.Not one person on this list had been among those listed in the previous registration taken by Moses and Aaron in the wilderness of Sinai.For the Lord had said of them,“ They will all die in the wilderness.” Not one of them survived except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
