65 for the Lord before-said, that all should die in the wilderness; and none of them dwelled alive, but Caleb, Jephunneh’s son, and Joshua, the son of Nun. (for the Lord had said before, that they would all die in the wilderness; and so none of them remained alive, but Caleb, Jephunneh’s son, and Joshua, the son of Nun.)

3 Moïse et le prêtre Eléazar s’adressèrent au peuple dans les plaines de Moab au bord du Jourdain à la hauteur de Jéricho.

62 L’effectif des lévites de sexe masculin âgés d’un mois et plus était de 23 000. Les lévites ne furent pas compris dans le recensement des Israélites, car ils ne devaient pas recevoir de patrimoine comme ceux-ci.
Conclusion
63 Tel fut le résultat du recensement des Israélites effectué par Moïse et le prêtre Eléazar dans les plaines de Moab au bord du Jourdain, en face de Jéricho. 64 Parmi eux, il ne restait plus personne de ceux que Moïse et Aaron avaient recensés dans le désert du Sinaï[l], 65 car l’Eternel leur avait déclaré qu’ils mourraient dans le désert. Il ne subsistait donc aucun d’entre eux, excepté Caleb, fils de Yephounné, et Josué, fils de Noun[m].
