Numbers 26:1-7 ▼

1 After the plague the LORD said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,

2 Take a census of the whole community of Israelites, from twenty years old and upward, by their clans, everyone who can serve in the army of Israel.|

3 So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan River across from Jericho. They said,

4 Number the people from twenty years old and upward, just as the LORD commanded Moses and the Israelites who went out from the land of Egypt.|

5 Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. The Reubenites: from Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; from Pallu, the family of the Palluites;

6 from Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; from Carmi, the family of the Carmites.

7 These were the families of the Reubenites; and those numbered of them were 43,730.
