Numbers 26:62 In-Context

60 To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they presented strange fire {before} Yahweh.

62 The ones counted were twenty-three thousand, every male from {a month old} and above, because they were not counted in the midst of the {Israelites} since no inheritance was given to them in the midst of the {Israelites}.

63 These [were] the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who counted the {Israelites} on the desert-plateau of Moab on [the] Jordan [across] Jericho.

64 And among these there was not a man of those counted by Moses and Aaron the priest, who counted the {Israelites} in the desert of Sinai.
