¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses saying:
unto these the land shall be divided to inherit, according to the number of names:
to many thou shalt give the more inheritance and to few the less: to every tribe shall the inheritance be given according to the number thereof.
Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot, and according to the names of the tribes of their fathers, they shall inherit:
and according to their lot thou shalt divide their land, both to the many and to the few.

But Nadab and Abihu died, as they offered strange fire before the LORD.
And the number of them was twenty three thousand, of all the males from a month old and above. For they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
¶ These are the numbers of the children of Israel which Moses and Eleazer the priest numbered in the fields of Moab, fast by Iordan nye to Iericho.
And among these there was not a man of the number of the children of Israel which Moses and Aaron told in the wilderness of Sinai.
For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Iephune and Iosua the son of Nun.
Praise the Everlasting Lord for His Faithful Word.
