1 After|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0559" great sickness, the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" spoke|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872" and|strong="H1121" Eleazar|strong="H0499" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Aaron|strong="H0175" the|strong="H0559" priest|strong="H3548".
2 He|strong="H0853" said, “Count|strong="H8141" the|strong="H3605" Israelites|strong="H3478". Count|strong="H8141" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" men|strong="H1121" who|strong="H3605" are|strong="H3478" 20 years|strong="H8141" old|strong="H1121" or|strong="H0001" older|strong="H4605" and|strong="H1121" list them|strong="H0853" by|strong="H8141" families|strong="H1004". These|strong="H3605" are|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" men|strong="H1121" who|strong="H3605" are|strong="H3478" able to|strong="H3478" serve in|strong="H8141" the|strong="H3605" army|strong="H6635" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478".”
3 At|strong="H5921" this time the|strong="H0559" people|strong="H1696" were|strong="H3383" camped in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0559" Jordan|strong="H3383" Valley in|strong="H5921" Moab|strong="H4124". This was|strong="H4872" near|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0559" Jordan|strong="H3383" River|strong="H3405", across|strong="H5921" from|strong="H5921" Jericho|strong="H3405". So|strong="H1696" Moses|strong="H4872" and|strong="H4872" Eleazar|strong="H0499" the|strong="H0559" priest|strong="H3548" spoke|strong="H1696" to|strong="H0559" the|strong="H0559" people|strong="H1696". They|strong="H5921" said|strong="H0559",
4 “You|strong="H0834" must|strong="H0853" count|strong="H8141" every|strong="H8141" man|strong="H1121" who|strong="H0834" is|strong="H0834" 20 years|strong="H8141" old|strong="H1121" or|strong="H1121" older|strong="H4605". The|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" gave|strong="H6680" Moses|strong="H4872" this|strong="H0834" command|strong="H6680".”
5 These are|strong="H3478" the|strong="H1121" people|strong="H1121" from|strong="H3478" the|strong="H1121" tribe|strong="H4940" of|strong="H1121" Reuben|strong="H7205". (Reuben|strong="H7205" was|strong="H3478" the|strong="H1121" firstborn|strong="H1060" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478".)

8 Pallu’s|strong="H6396" son|strong="H1121" was|strong="H1121" Eliab|strong="H0446".
9 Eliab|strong="H0446" had|strong="H3068" three sons|strong="H1121"—Nemuel|strong="H5241", Dathan|strong="H1885", and|strong="H1121" Abiram|strong="H0048". Remember, Dathan|strong="H1885" and|strong="H1121" Abiram|strong="H0048" were|strong="H0834" the|strong="H0834" two leaders who|strong="H0834" turned against|strong="H5921" Moses|strong="H4872" and|strong="H1121" Aaron|strong="H0175". They|strong="H0834" followed Korah|strong="H7141" when|strong="H0834" Korah|strong="H7141" turned against|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068".
10 That|strong="H1961" was|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0853" time|strong="H1961" when|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0853" earth|strong="H0776" opened|strong="H6605" and|strong="H3967" swallowed|strong="H1104" Korah|strong="H7141" and|strong="H3967" all|strong="H0398" of|strong="H0776" his|strong="H1961" followers. And|strong="H3967" 250 men|strong="H0376" died|strong="H4194"! That|strong="H1961" was|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" warning|strong="H5251" to|strong="H1961" all|strong="H0398" the|strong="H0853" Israelites.

52 The|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872",
53 “The|strong="H8034" land|strong="H0776" will|strong="H0776" be|strong="H8034" divided|strong="H2505" and|strong="H0776" given to|strong="H0776" these|strong="H0428" people|strong="H0776".

55 But|strong="H0389" you|strong="H0853" must|strong="H0853" use lots|strong="H1486" to|strong="H0776" decide which tribe|strong="H4294" gets which part of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0776". Each tribe|strong="H4294" will|strong="H0776" get its|strong="H0853" share of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0776", and|strong="H0776" that|strong="H0776" land|strong="H0776" will|strong="H0776" be|strong="H8034" given the|strong="H0853" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H0776" that|strong="H0776" tribe|strong="H4294".
56 Land|strong="H5159" will|strong="H6310" be|strong="H4592" given to|strong="H5921" each tribe—large|strong="H7227" and|strong="H6310" small|strong="H4592". And|strong="H6310" you|strong="H5921" will|strong="H6310" throw lots|strong="H1486" to|strong="H5921" make|strong="H1486" the|strong="H5921" decisions.”

61 But|strong="H4191" Nadab|strong="H5070" and|strong="H3068" Abihu|strong="H0030" died|strong="H4191".
