Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Numbers 26
⁵² Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
⁵³ "To these the land shall be divided as an inheritance, according to the number of names.
⁵⁴ To a large tribe you shall give a larger inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a smaller inheritance. Each shall be given its inheritance according to those who were numbered of them.
⁵⁵ But the land shall be divided by lot; they shall inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.
⁵⁶ According to the lot their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller."
⁵⁷ And these are those who were numbered of the Levites according to 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 the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begot Amram.
⁵⁹ The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam.
⁶⁰ To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
⁶¹ And Nadab and Abihu died when they offered profane fire before the Lord.
⁶² Now those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; for they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.
