7 These are the families of the Reubenites: those who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty.

8 And the son of Pallu was Eliab.

16 of¹ Ozni, the family of the Oznites; of Eri, the family of the Erites;

17 of¹ Arod, the family of the Arodites; of Areli, the family of the Arelites.
