53"Among these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.53“Divide the land among the tribes, and distribute the grants of land in proportion to the tribes’ populations, as indicated by the number of names on the list.
54"To the larger group you shall increase their inheritance, and to the smaller group you shall diminish their inheritance; each shall be given their inheritance according to those who were numbered of them.54Give the larger tribes more land and the smaller tribes less land, each group receiving a grant in proportion to the size of its population.
55"But the land shall be divided by lot. They shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.55But you must assign the land by lot, and give land to each ancestral tribe according to the number of names on the list.
56"According to the selection by lot, their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller groups."56Each grant of land must be assigned by lot among the larger and smaller tribal groups.” The Tribe of Levi
57These are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites.57This is the record of the Levites who were counted according to their clans: The Gershonite clan, named after their ancestor Gershon.

63These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.63So these are the results of the registration of the people of Israel as conducted by Moses and Eleazar the priest on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
64But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.64Not one person on this list had been among those listed in the previous registration taken by Moses and Aaron in the wilderness of Sinai.
65For the LORD had said of them, "They shall surely die in the wilderness." And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.65For the LORD had said of them, “They will all die in the wilderness.” Not one of them survived except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
