New English Translation
A Second Census Required
26 [a] After the plague the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,[b] 2 “Take a census of the whole community of Israelites, from twenty years old and upward, by their clans,[c] everyone who can serve in the army of Israel.”[d] 3 So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the rift valley plains[e] of Moab, along the Jordan River[f] across from Jericho. They said, 4 “Number the people[g] from twenty years old and upward, just as the Lord commanded Moses and the Israelites who went out from the land of Egypt.”

The Reubenites: from[h] Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; from Pallu, the family of the Palluites; 6 from Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; from Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 7 These were the families of the Reubenites; and those numbered of them were 43,730. 8 Pallu’s descendant[i] was Eliab. 9 Eliab’s descendants were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. It was Dathan and Abiram who as leaders of the community rebelled against Moses and Aaron with the followers[j] of Korah when they rebelled against the Lord. 10 The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and Korah at the time that company died, when the fire consumed 250 men.

Ephraim
35 These are the Ephraimites by their families: from Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites; from Beker, the family of the Bekerites; from Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. 36 Now these were the Shuthelahites: from Eran, the family of the Eranites. 37 These were the families of the Ephraimites, according to those numbered of them, 32,500. These[p] were the descendants of Joseph by their families.
Benjamin
38 The Benjaminites by their families: from Bela, the family of the Belaites; from Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; from Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites; 39 from Shupham,[q] the family of the Shuphamites; from Hupham, the family of the Huphamites. 40 The descendants of Bela were Ard[r] and Naaman.

48 The Naphtalites by their families: from Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites; from Guni, the family of the Gunites; 49 from Jezer, the family of the Jezerites; from Shillem, the family of the Shillemites. 50 These were the families of Naphtali according to their families; and those numbered of them were 45,400.
Total Number and Division of the Land
51 These were those numbered of the Israelites, 601,730.
52 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 53 “To these the land must be divided as an inheritance according to the number of the names. 54 To a larger group you will give a larger inheritance,[u] and to a smaller group you will give a smaller inheritance.[v] To each one its inheritance must be given according to the number of people in it.[w] 55 The land must be divided by lot; and they will inherit in accordance with the names of their ancestral tribes. 56 Their inheritance must be apportioned[x] by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”
57 And these are the Levites who were numbered according to their families: from Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; from 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, the family of the Korahites. Kohath became the father of Amram. 59 Now the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, daughter of Levi, who was born[y] to Levi in Egypt. And to Amram she bore Aaron, Moses, and Miriam their sister. 60 And to Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire[z] before the Lord. 62 Those of the Levites[aa] who were numbered were 23,000, all males from a month old and upward, for they were not numbered among the Israelites; no inheritance was given to them among the Israelites.
63 These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the Israelites in the rift valley plains[ab] of Moab along the Jordan River opposite Jericho. 64 But there was not a man among these who had been[ac] among those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the Israelites in the desert of Sinai. 65 For the Lord had said of them, “They will surely die in the wilderness.” And there was not left a single man of them, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Hungarian Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
A második népszámlálás
26 Miután a csapás elmúlt, ezt mondta az Örökkévaló Mózesnek, és Eleázár főpapnak, Áron fiának: 2 „Számoljátok össze Izráel egész közösségét házuk népe szerint! Vegyetek számba minden hadköteles férfit, vagyis akik már elmúltak 20 évesek!”
3 Ebben az időben Izráel a Jordán mellett, Moáb síkságán táborozott, Jerikóval átellenben. Tehát Mózes és Eleázár főpap kihirdette a népnek: 4 „Népszámlálást kell tartanunk. Számba fogunk venni minden 20 évesnél idősebb férfit, ahogy[a] az Örökkévaló parancsolta Mózesnek és azoknak, akik kijöttek Egyiptomból”.

8 Pallú fia Eliáb, 9 akinek fiai: Nemúél, Dátán és Abirám. A két utóbbi a közösség választott vezetője volt, és lázadást szítottak Mózes és Áron ellen Kórah csoportjával együtt. Valójában az Örökkévaló ellen lázadtak föl, 10 ezért a föld megnyílt a lábuk alatt, és elnyelte valamennyiüket. Ugyanakkor 250 férfit tűz emésztett meg. Mindez figyelmeztető jel lett Izráel számára.
11 De Kórah gyermekei nem haltak meg ebben a csapásban.

48 Naftáli leszármazottjai nemzetségeik szerint a következők voltak: Jahceél, Gúni, 49 Jécer és Sillém. Mindegyiküktől egy-egy nemzetség származott. 50 Ezek Naftáli törzsének nemzetségei, amelyekben összesen 45 400 férfit vettek számba.
A népszámlálás eredménye
51 Izráel népéből tehát összesen 601 730 férfit vettek számba.
52 Ezután az Örökkévaló szólt Mózesnek: 53 „A földet az összeírás névjegyzéke szerint osszátok szét azok között, akiket most számba vettetek. 54 Minden törzs kapjon annyi földet, amennyi a hozzájuk tartozók számára szükséges. A nagyobb létszámú törzsnek arányosan nagyobb földterület, a kisebbnek arányosan kisebb jusson. 55 Azonban, hogy melyik terület melyik törzsé legyen, azt szent sorsolással állapítsátok meg. Az egyes családok pedig a saját törzsük területén belül kapjanak örökséget. 56 Mind a népesebb törzsek, mind a kisebbek szent sorsvetéssel kapják meg az örökségüket, vagyis a saját törzsi területüket”.
Lévi törzse
57 Lévi leszármazottjai nemzetségeik szerint a következők voltak: Gérsón, Kehát és Merári. Mindegyiküktől egy-egy nemzetség származott. 58 Rajtuk kívül a Libni, Hebroni, Mahli, Músi és a Kórah nemzetségek is Lévi törzsébe tartoztak.
Amrám Kórah fia. 59 Amrám felesége Jókebed, aki Egyiptomban született, és szintén Lévi törzsébe tartozott. Amrám és Jókebed gyermekei: Áron, Mózes és a nővérük, Mirjám. 60 Áron fiai: Nádáb, Abihú, Eleázár és Ítámár. 61 Nádáb és Abihú meghaltak, mert nem az Örökkévaló rendelése szerinti áldozatot mutattak be az Örökkévalónak. 62 Lévi törzsében a megszámolt egy hónaposnál idősebb fiúk és férfiak száma összesen 23 000 volt. Őket nem számolták a többi Izráeli férfi közé, mert nem kaptak állandó családi földbirtokot, mint a többiek.
63 Ez tehát annak a népszámlálásnak az eredménye, amelyet Mózes és Eleázár főpap tartottak Moáb síkságán, a Jordán mellett, Jerikóval szemben. 64-65 Sok évvel korábban, a Sínai-pusztában Mózes és Áron főpap már egyszer tartott hasonló népszámlálást. De akiket az első alkalommal számba vettek, azok közül már csak Káleb, Jefunne fia és Józsué, Nún fia volt életben, mire a második népszámlálásra sor került. A többiek mind meghaltak a két népszámlálás között, mert az Örökkévaló előre megmondta, hogy a pusztában fognak meghalni, a vándorlás ideje alatt.

59 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
60 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the Lord.
62 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the Lord had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
