Numbers 26:57 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 26:57

55 But the land shall be ^adivided by lot; they shall inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.

56 According to the lot their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller.”

57 ^aAnd these 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.

58 These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begot Amram.

59 The name of Amram’s wife was ^aJochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam.

60 ^aTo Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

61 And ^aNadab and Abihu died when they offered profane fire before the Lord.

62 ^aNow those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; ^bfor they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was ^cno inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.

63 These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel ^ain the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.

64 ^aBut among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the children of Israel in the ^bWilderness of Sinai.
