Numbers 26:52-62 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

52. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

53. To these shall the land be divided for their possessions according to the number of names.

54. To the greater number thou shalt give a greater portion, and to the fewer a less: to every one, as they have now been reckoned up, shall a possession be delivered:

55. Yet so that by lot the land be divided to the tribe and families.

56. Whatsoever shall fall by lot, that shall be taken by the more, or the fewer.

57. This also is the number of the sons of Levi by their families: Gerson, of whom is the family of the Gersonites: Caath, of whom is the family of the Caathites: Merari, of whom is the family of the Merarites.

58. These are the families of Levi: The family of Lobni, the family of Hebroni, the family of Moholi, the family of Musi, the family of Core. Now Caath beget Amram:

59. Who had to wife Jochabed the daughter of Levi, who was horn to him in Egypt. She bore to her husband Amram sons, Aaron and Moses, and Mary their sister.

60. Of Aaron were born Nadab and Abiu, and Eleazar and Ithamar:

61. Of whom Nadab and Abiu died, when they had offered the strange fire before the Lord.

62. And all that were numbered, were twenty-three thousand males from one month old and upward: for they were not reckoned up among the children of Israel, neither was a possession given to them with the rest.
