26 And it came to pass, after the (A)plague, that the Lord spoke to Moses and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying: 2 (B)“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel (C)from twenty years old and above, by their fathers’ houses, all who are able to go to war in Israel.” 3 So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them (D)in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying: 4 “Take a census of the people from twenty years old and above, just as the Lord (E)commanded Moses and the children of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt.”

48 (W)The sons of Naphtali according to their families were: of [p]Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites; of Guni, the family of the Gunites; 49 of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites; of (X)Shillem, the family of the Shillemites. 50 These are the families of Naphtali according to their families; and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand four hundred.
51 (Y)These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel: six hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty.
52 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 53 (Z)“To these the land shall be (AA)divided as an inheritance, according to the number of names. 54 (AB)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 (AC)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 (AD)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 (AE)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 (AF)To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61 And (AG)Nadab and Abihu died when they offered profane fire before the Lord.
62 (AH)Now those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; (AI)for they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was (AJ)no inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.
63 These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel (AK)in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho. 64 (AL)But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the children of Israel in the (AM)Wilderness of Sinai. 65 For the Lord had said of them, “They (AN)shall surely die in the wilderness.” So there was not left a man of them, (AO)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

52 Entonces el Señor le dijo a Moisés: 53 «La tierra se dividirá entre estos por heredad según el número de nombres. 54 Al grupo más grande aumentarás su heredad, y al grupo más pequeño disminuirás su heredad; a cada uno se le dará su heredad según los que fueron contados de ellos(AG). 55 Pero la tierra se dividirá por suerte(AH). Recibirán su heredad según los nombres de las tribus de sus padres. 56 Según la selección por suerte se dividirá la heredad entre el grupo más grande y el más pequeño».
57 Y estos son los que fueron contados de los levitas según sus familias: de Gersón, la familia de los gersonitas; de Coat, la familia de los coatitas; de Merari, la familia de los meraritas(AI). 58 Estas son las familias de Leví: la familia de los libnitas, la familia de los hebronitas, la familia de los mahlitas, la familia de los musitas, la familia de los coreítas. Y Coat fue el padre de Amram(AJ). 59 El nombre de la mujer de Amram era Jocabed(AK), hija de Leví, que le nació a Leví en Egipto; y ella dio a luz de Amram, a Aarón, a Moisés y a su hermana Miriam. 60 A Aarón le nacieron Nadab, Abiú, Eleazar e Itamar(AL). 61 Pero Nadab y Abiú murieron cuando ofrecieron fuego extraño delante del Señor(AM). 62 Los contados de los levitas fueron 23,000(AN), todo varón de un mes en adelante. Porque no fueron contados entre los israelitas(AO), ya que ninguna heredad les fue dada entre los israelitas(AP).
63 Estos son los que fueron contados por Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar, los cuales contaron a los israelitas en los llanos de Moab, junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó. 64 Pero entre estos no había ninguno de los que fueron contados por Moisés y el sacerdote Aarón, cuando contaron a los israelitas en el desierto de Sinaí(AQ). 65 Porque el Señor había dicho de ellos: «Ciertamente morirán en el desierto(AR)». Y no quedó ninguno de ellos, sino Caleb, hijo de Jefone(AS), y Josué, hijo de Nun.

63 These were those listed by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who listed the people of Israel (AU)in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 64 (AV)But among these there was not one of those listed by Moses and Aaron the priest, who had listed the people of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 65 For the Lord had said of them, (AW)“They shall die in the wilderness.” Not one of them was left, (AX)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
