1At that time after the pestilence, Yahuah (the Lord) said to Moses, and to Elazer the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
2Number the heads of the whole community of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth in the army.
3And Moses and Elazer numbered the children of Israel after their families, and the number of all Israel was seven hundred thousand, seven hundred and thirty.
4And the number of the children of Levi, from one month old and upward, was twenty-three thousand, and amongst these there was not a man of those numbered by Moses and Aaron in the wilderness of Sinai.
5For Yahuah (the Lord) had told them that they would die in the wilderness, so they all died, and not one had been left of them excepting Caleb the son of Jephuneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
