A New Census

26 [a] And it happened after the plague, [b]Yahweh said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saying, 2 “Take a census[c] of the community of the Israelites[d] from those twenty years old[e] and above, according to their families,[f] all who are able to go out to war in Israel.” 3 So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them on the desert-plateau of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, saying, 4 “Take a census of the community from those twenty years old[g] and above, just as Yahweh commanded Moses.”

These are the same Dathan and Abiram who were appointed of the community, who rebelled against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they rebelled against Yahweh, 10 and the land opened its mouth and swallowed them with Korah, when that company died, when the fire consumed two hundred and fifty men, and they were a sign.[m] 11 The children[n] of Korah, however, did not die.
