48 Los hijos de Neftalí por sus familias: de Jahzeel, la familia de los jahzeelitas; de Guni, la familia de los gunitas

49 de Jezer, la familia de los jezeritas; de Silem, la familia de los silemitas

50 Estas son las familias de Neftalí por sus familias; y sus contados, cuarenta y cinco mil cuatrocientos

51 Estos son los contados de los hijos de Israel, seiscientos un mil setecientos treinta

52 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo

53 A éstos se repartirá la tierra en heredad, por la cuenta de los nombres

54 A las más numerosas darás mayor heredad, y a las menos numerosas menor; y a cada una se le dará su heredad conforme a sus contados

55 Pero la tierra será repartida por suerte; y por los nombres de las tribus de sus padres heredarán

56 Conforme a la suerte será repartida su heredad entre el grande y el pequeño

57 Y los contados de los levitas por sus familias son éstos: de Gersón, la familia de los gersonitas; de Coat, la familia de los coatitas; de Merari, la familia de los meraritas

58 Estas son las familias de los levitas: la familia de los libnitas, la familia de los hebronitas, la familia de los mahlitas, la familia de los musitas, la familia de los coreítas. Y Coat engendró a Amram
