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.

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.64 But among these there was not a man of them that were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.65 For Jehovah had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Tell alle dem i Israel som kan dra ut i strid. 3 Moses og Eleasar, presten, talte med dem på Moabs ødemarker ved Jordan, midt imot Jeriko, og sa: 4 Fra tjueårsalderen og oppover skal de mønstres - slik som Herren hadde befalt Moses og Israels barn, de som var dratt ut av Egypt. s

52 Og Herren talte til Moses og sa: 53 Mellom disse skal landet skiftes ut til arv etter folketallet. 54 Den stammen som er stor, skal du gi en stor arv, den som er liten, skal du gi en liten arv. Hver stamme skal få sin arv etter tallet på dem som ble mønstret der. s55 Ved loddkasting skal landet skiftes ut. Etter navnene på sine fedrestammer skal de ta arv. 56 Etter som loddet faller, skal hver stamme, stor eller liten, få sin arv.

Med henne fikk Amram Aron og Moses og deres søster Mirjam. s60 Og Aron fikk sønnene Nadab og Abihu, Eleasar og Itamar. 61 Men Nadab og Abihu døde den gang de bar fremmed ild inn for Herrens åsyn. s62 Og de av levittene som ble mønstret, var tjuetre tusen. Det var alt som var av mannkjønn blant dem, medregnet den som var en måned gammel og oppover. De ble ikke mønstret sammen med de andre Israels barn, fordi det ikke var gitt dem arv blant Israels barn.

63 Dette var de som ble mønstret av Moses og Eleasar, presten, da de mønstret Israels barn på Moabs ødemarker ved Jordan midt imot Jeriko. 64 Blant disse var det ikke noen av dem som ble mønstret av Moses og Aron, presten, den gang de mønstret Israels barn i Sinai ørken. s65 For Herren hadde sagt at de skulle dø i ørkenen. Og det var ingen tilbake av dem uten Kaleb, Jefunnes sønn, og Josva, Nuns sønn. s
