CHAPTER 26
1 After that the blood of guilty men was shed out, the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar, the priest, [the] son of Aaron,

2 Reckon ye all the number of the sons of Israel, from twenty years and above, by their houses, and their kindreds, all men that be able to go forth to battles.

3 And so Moses and Eleazar, the priest, spake in the field places of Moab, over Jordan, against Jericho,

4 to them that were of twenty years and above, as the Lord commanded; of which this is the number.

52 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

53 The land shall be parted to these, by the number of names into their possessions;

54 thou shalt give the greater part to [the] more men, and the less part to [the] fewer men; possession shall be given to all by themselves, as they be numbered now;

59 which had a wife, Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, which daughter was born to him in Egypt. This Jochebed engendered to her husband Amram, sons, Aaron and Moses, and Marie, the sister of them.

60 Nadab, and Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar were begotten of Aaron;

61 of which Nadab and Abihu were dead, when they had offered alien fire before the Lord.
