52. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
53. Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.
54. To the more thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one according to those that were numbered of him shall his inheritance be given.
55. Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
56. According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.
57. And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites.
58. These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. And Kohath begat Amram.
59. And the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
60. And unto Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
61. And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before Jehovah.
62. And they that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, every male from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
63. These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
