62 Het aantal Levieten bij de telling bedroeg 23.000, waarbij alle mannen van één maand en ouder werden meegerekend. Maar de Levieten telden niet mee bij het bepalen van het totaal aantal Israëlieten, want de Levieten kregen geen land.
63 Dit waren de uitkomsten van de telling die werd gehouden door Mozes en de priester Eleazar, terwijl Israël tegenover Jericho verbleef, op de vlakten van Moab bij de Jordaan. 64,65 Onder dit aantal Israëlieten was er niet één die ook was geteld bij de vroegere telling in de Sinaï-woestijn! Want de mensen die indertijd werden geteld, waren gestorven zoals de Here had bevolen toen Hij van hen zei: ‘Zij zullen sterven in de woestijn.’ De enige uitzonderingen waren Kaleb, de zoon van Jefunne, en Jozua, de zoon van Nun.
