1 Depois de ter passado a praga, Jeová disse a Moisés e a Eleazar, o filho de Arão, sacerdote:
2 Recenseia todos os homens de Israel, de vinte anos para cima, para se saber com quanta gente de cada tribo e família se poderá contar para a guerra.
3 Moisés e Eleazar instruiram os chefes de Israel nesse sentido. Toda a nação estava acampada nas planícies de Moabe, nas margens do rio Jordão, em frente de Jericó oram estes os resultados do recenseamento:
5 Estes últimos foram aqueles dois chefes que apoiaram Coré na conspiração contra Moisés e contra Arão num desafio à autoridade de Deus. Mas a terra abriu-se e engoliu-os vivos. Foram nessa altura destruídos igualmente pelo fogo de Deus duzentos e cinquenta homens, como aviso a toda a nação. Contudo os filhos de Coré não morreram. Os descendentes de Herzom, e os descendentes de Carmi.
51 Portanto, o total dos homens aptos para o serviço militar foi de 601.730.
52 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés que dividisse a terra por cada tribo proporcionalmente à população de cada uma, conforme os dados do recenseamento; desta forma, as tribos maiores deveriam ter mais terra do que as mais pequenas.
55 Que os representantes das tribos sorteiem entre si as diversas zonas da terra, mas em duas vezes: as tribos maiores sortearão as zonas maiores, e as outras as zonas mais pequenas. Foram assim as instruções do Senhor.
57 São estas as famílias da tribo de Levi, conforme o recenseamento: os descendentes de Gerson, de Coate e os de Merari.
58 Constavam-se nela ainda os seguintes agregados familiares: os libnitas, os hebronitas, os malitas, os musitas e os coraitas.
59 Quando Levi estava no Egipto nasceu-lhe uma filha, chamada Joquebede, que veio a casar com Amrão, filho de Coate. Foram estes os pais de Arão, de Moisés e de Miriam. Depois, a Arão, nasceram-lhe Nadabe, Abiú, Eleazar e Itamar. Nadabe e Abiú morreram quando pretendiam oferecer fogo profano ao Senhor.
62 O resultado do recenseamento revelou haverem 23.000 levitas do sexo masculino, com mais de um mês de idade. Mas estes não foram incluídos nos resultados finais, porque não lhes foi dada a terra, quando da repartição por entre as tribos.
63 Tais são, pois, os numeros relativos à contagem feita por Moisés e por Eleazar nas planícies do Moabe, nas margens do Jordão, em frente de Jericó. Nem um só indivíduo de toda este alistamento tinha sido contado no anterior recenseamento feito no deserto de Sinai . Todos os que naquela altura tinham sido alistados estavam agora mortos, de acordo aliás com que o Senhor dissera, que haviam de morrer no deserto; as únicas duas excepções foram Calebe filho de Jefoné e Josué filho de Num.
1 And it came to pass after the plague, that Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

54 To the more you will give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you will give the less inheritance: to every one according to those who were numbered of him will his inheritance be given.
