以色列人第二次數點人口

26 瘟疫以後,耶和華對摩西和亞倫的兒子以利亞撒說: “你們要把以色列會眾,從二十歲以上,在以色列中能出去打仗的,按著他們的父家,計算數目。” 於是,摩西和以利亞撒祭司在摩押曠野,就是在耶利哥附近的約旦河邊,告訴他們: “從二十歲以上的,你們都要登記數目。”這是照著耶和華吩咐摩西的。從埃及地出來的以色列人計有: 以色列的長子流本:流本的子孫,屬哈諾的,有哈諾家族;屬法路的,有法路家族; 屬希斯倫的,有希斯倫家族;屬迦米的,有迦米家族。 這些是流本的家族;他們被數點的,共有四萬三千七百三十人。 法路的兒子是以利押; 以利押的兒子是尼母利、大坍、亞比蘭。這大坍和亞比蘭原是從會眾中選拔出來的,他們和可拉一黨的人一起與耶和華爭吵,也與摩西和亞倫爭吵的時候, 10 地開了口,把他們和可拉吞了下去;可拉與他的同黨都死了,那時有火吞滅了二百五十個人,他們成了警戒。 11 但是,可拉的子孫卻沒有死亡。

63 以上的人就是被摩西和以利亞撒祭司數點的;他們是在摩押平原,耶利哥對面約旦河邊數點以色列人的。 64 這些人中間,沒有一個是摩西和亞倫祭司從前在西奈曠野數點以色列人的時候,數點過的。 65 因為耶和華論到他們曾經說過:“他們必死在曠野。”所以除了耶孚尼的兒子迦勒和嫩的兒子約書亞以外,連一個也沒有剩下。

None of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
