Números 26:49-59

49 de Jezer, a família dos jezeritas; de Silém, a família dos silemitas.

50 Estas são as famílias de Naftali, segundo as suas famílias; os que foram deles contados, eram quarenta e cinco mil e quatrocentos.

51 Estes são os que foram contados dos filhos de Israel, seiscentos e um mil setecentos e trinta.

52 Disse mais o senhor a Moisés:

53 A estes se repartirá a terra em herança segundo o número dos nomes.

54 Â tribo de muitos darás herança maior, e � de poucos darás herança menor; a cada qual se dará a sua herança segundo os que foram deles contados.

55 Todavia a terra se repartirá por sortes; segundo os nomes das tribos de seus pais a herdarão.

56 Segundo sair a sorte, se repartirá a herança deles entre as tribos de muitos e as de poucos.

57 Também estes são os que foram contados dos levitas, segundo as suas famílias: de Gérson, a família dos gersonitas; de Coate, a família dos coatitas; de Merári, a família os meraritas.

58 Estas são as famílias de Levi: a família dos libnitas, a família dos hebronitas, a família dos malitas, a família dos musitas, a família dos coraítas. Ora, Coate gerou a Anrão.

59 E a mulher de Anrão chamava-se Joquebede, filha de Levi, a qual nasceu a Levi no Egito; e de Anrão ela teve Arão e Moisés, e Miriã, irmã deles.
