Numbers 26:63 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 26:63

These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the
priest
That is, these were the Levites, their families, and the number of males in them, which was taken by Moses and Eleazar, who might be only concerned in numbering the Levites, of which tribe they were: and

who also numbered the children of Israel;
all the tribes of them, with the assistance of their princes:

in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, near Jericho;
as they were commanded by the Lord.

Numbers 26:63 In-Context

61 but Nadav and Avihu died when they offered unauthorized fire before ADONAI.

62 Those males one month old or more counted of the Levi were 23,000. These were not included in the census of the people of Isra'el, because no land for inheritance was given to them among the people of Isra'el.

63 These are the ones counted by Moshe and El'azar the cohen, who took a census of the people of Isra'el in the plains of Mo'av by the Yarden across from Yericho.

64 But there was not a man among them who had also been included in the census of Moshe and Aharon the cohen when they enumerated the people of Isra'el in the Sinai Desert;

65 because ADONAI had said of them, "They will surely die in the desert." So there was not left even one of them, except Kalev the son of Y'funeh and Y'hoshua the son of Nun.
