After the plague the LORD said to Moses and to Elea '
zar the son of Aaron ,
the priest ,
* "
Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel ,
from twenty years old and upward ,
by their fathers '
houses ,
all in Israel who are able to go forth to war ."
*
And Moses and Elea '
zar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho ,
saying ,
* "
Take a census of the people ,
from twenty years old and upward ,"
as the LORD commanded Moses .
The people of Israel ,
who came forth out of the land of Egypt ,
were :
*
Reuben ,
the first-born of Israel ;
the sons of Reuben :
of Hanoch ,
the family of the Ha '
nochites ;
of Pallu ,
the family of the Pal '
luites ;
*
of Hezron ,
the family of the Hez '
ronites ;
of Carmi ,
the family of the Carmites .
*
These are the families of the Reubenites ;
and their number was forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty .
*
And the sons of Pallu :
Eli '
ab .
*
The sons of Eli '
ab :
Nem '
uel ,
Dathan ,
and Abi '
ram .
These are the Dathan and Abi '
ram ,
chosen from the congregation ,
who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah ,
when they contended against the LORD ,
*
and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah ,
when that company died ,
when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men ;
and they became a warning .
*
Notwithstanding ,
the sons of Korah did not die .
