55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
56 According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few.
57 And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after 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, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.
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.

55 Be sure that the land is distributed by lot.(A) What each group inherits will be according to the names for its ancestral tribe. 56 Each inheritance is to be distributed by lot among the larger and smaller groups.”
57 These were the Levites(B) who were counted by their clans:
through Gershon, the Gershonite clan;
through Kohath, the Kohathite clan;
through Merari, the Merarite clan.
58 These also were Levite clans:
the Libnite clan,
the Hebronite clan,
the Mahlite clan,
the Mushite clan,
the Korahite clan.
(Kohath was the forefather of Amram;(C) 59 the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed,(D) a descendant of Levi, who was born to the Levites[a] in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses(E) and their sister(F) Miriam.(G) 60 Aaron was the father of Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.(H) 61 But Nadab and Abihu(I) died when they made an offering before the Lord with unauthorized fire.)(J)
62 All the male Levites a month old or more numbered 23,000.(K) They were not counted(L) along with the other Israelites because they received no inheritance(M) among them.(N)
63 These are the ones counted(O) by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab(P) by the Jordan across from Jericho.(Q) 64 Not one of them was among those counted(R) by Moses and Aaron(S) the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Desert of Sinai. 65 For the Lord had told those Israelites they would surely die in the wilderness,(T) and not one of them was left except Caleb(U) son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.(V)
