26 2 The Lord commandeth to number the children of Israel in the plain of Moab, from twenty years old and above. 57 The Levites and their families. 64 None of them that were numbered in Sinai go into Canaan, save Caleb and Joshua.

1 And so after the [a]plague, the Lord spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the Priest, saying,

2 Take the number of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, (A)from twenty years old and above, throughout their father’s houses, all that go forth to war in Israel.

3 So Moses and Eleazar the Priest spake unto them in the plain of Moab, by Jordan [b]toward Jericho, saying,

4 From twenty years old and above ye shall number the people, as the Lord (B)had commanded Moses, and the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

5 (C)Reuben the firstborn of Israel: the children of Reuben were: Hanoch, of whom came the family of the Hanochites, and of Pallu the family of the Palluites:
