Numbers 26:58-65

58 hae sunt familiae Levi familia Lobni familia Hebroni familia Mooli familia Musi familia Cori at vero Caath genuit Amram

59 qui habuit uxorem Iochabed filiam Levi quae nata est ei in Aegypto haec genuit viro suo Amram filios Aaron et Mosen et Mariam sororem eorum

60 de Aaron orti sunt Nadab et Abiu et Eleazar et Ithamar

61 quorum Nadab et Abiu mortui sunt cum obtulissent ignem alienum coram Domino

62 fueruntque omnes qui numerati sunt viginti tria milia generis masculini ab uno mense et supra quia non sunt recensiti inter filios Israhel nec eis cum ceteris data possessio

63 hic est numerus filiorum Israhel qui descripti sunt a Mosen et Eleazaro sacerdote in campestribus Moab supra Iordanem contra Hiericho

64 inter quos nullus fuit eorum qui ante numerati sunt a Mose et Aaron in deserto Sinai

65 praedixerat enim Dominus quod omnes morerentur in solitudine nullusque remansit ex eis nisi Chaleb filius Iepphonne et Iosue filius Nun
