None of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

第二次人口统计

26 瘟疫过后,耶和华对摩西和亚伦祭司的儿子以利亚撒说: “你们要统计以色列全体会众,按宗族登记所有二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子。” 摩西和以利亚撒祭司就在约旦河边、耶利哥对面的摩押平原对以色列人说: “你们要按照耶和华的吩咐统计二十岁以上的男子。”

52 耶和华对摩西说: 53 “你要按着各支派登记的人数把土地分给他们作产业; 54 人数多的多分产业,人数少的少分产业,要按登记的人数分配。 55 以色列人要按各自的支派抽签分地,承受产业。 56 无论大小支派,都要用抽签的方法分配产业。”

57 利未的子孙有革顺族、哥辖族和米拉利族。 58 立尼族、希伯仑族、玛利族、姆示族和可拉族也是利未的子孙。哥辖生暗兰。 59 暗兰的妻子叫约基别,是利未女子,出生在埃及。她给暗兰生了亚伦、摩西和他们的姐姐米利暗。 60 亚伦生拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒和以他玛。 61 拿答和亚比户因用凡火向耶和华献祭而被击杀。 62 利未人中一个月以上的男性共登记了两万三千人,他们的人数没有登记在以色列人中,因为他们在以色列人中不分产业。

63 以上是摩西和以利亚撒祭司在约旦河边、耶利哥对面的摩押平原统计的人数, 64 其中没有一个是摩西和祭司亚伦从前在西奈旷野登记的人。 65 因为耶和华说过,那批人都要死在旷野。果然,除了耶孚尼的儿子迦勒和嫩的儿子约书亚以外,上次登记的人无一存活。
