"Take a census of the people, from twenty years old and upward," as the Lord commanded Moses. The Israelites, who came out of the land of Egypt, were:

Reuben, the firstborn of Israel. The descendants of Reuben: of Hanoch, the clan of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the clan of the Palluites;
6
of Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the clan of the Carmites.
7
These are the clans of the Reubenites; the number of those enrolled was forty-three thousand seven hundred thirty.
