Numbers 26:61 In-Context

59 The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed. She was from the family line of Levi. She was born to the Levites in Egypt. Aaron, Moses and their sister Miriam were born in the family line of Amram and Jochebed.

60 Aaron was the father of Nadab and Abihu. He was also the father of Eleazar and Ithamar.

61 But Nadab and Abihu made an offering to the LORD by using fire that wasn't allowed. So they died.

62 The number of male Levites who were a month old or more was 23,000. They weren't listed along with the other men of Israel. That's because they didn't receive a share among them.

63 Those are the men who were counted by Moses and the priest Eleazar. At that time the people of Israel were on the flatlands of Moab. They were by the Jordan River across from Jericho.
