Numberi 26:60-65

60 En aan Aaron werden geboren Nadab en Abihu, Eleazar en Ithamar.

61 Nadab nu en Abihu waren gestorven, toen zij vreemd vuur brachten voor het aangezicht des HEEREN.

62 En hun getelden waren drie en twintig duizend, al wat mannelijk is, van een maand oud en daarboven; want dezen werden niet geteld onder de kinderen Israels, omdat hun geen erfenis gegeven werd onder de kinderen Israels.

63 Dat zijn de getelden van Mozes en Eleazar, den priester, die de kinderen Israels telden in de vlakke velden van Moab, aan de Jordaan van Jericho.

64 En onder dezen was niemand uit de getelden van Mozes en Aaron, den priester, als zij de kinderen Israels telden in de woestijn van Sinai.

65 Want de HEERE had van die gezegd, dat zij in de woestijn gewisselijk zouden sterven; en er was niemand van hen overgebleven, dan Kaleb, de zoon van Jefunne, en Jozua, de zoon van Nun.
