Numeri 26:57-65

57 Und das ist die Summe der Leviten in ihren Geschlechtern: Gerson, daher kommt das Geschlecht der Gersoniter; Kahath, daher kommt das Geschlecht der Kahathiter; Merari, daher das Geschlecht der Merariter.
58 Dies sind die Geschlechter Levis: das Geschlecht der Libniter, das Geschlecht der Hebroniter, das Geschlecht der Maheliter, das Geschlecht der Musiter, das Geschlecht der Korahiter. Kahath zeugte Amram.
59 Und Amrams Weib hieß Jochebed, eine Tochter Levis, die ihm geboren ward in Ägypten; und sie gebar dem Amram Aaron und Mose und ihre Schwester Mirjam.
60 Dem Aaron aber ward geboren: Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar und Ithamar.
61 Nadab aber und Abihu starben, da sie fremdes Feuer opferten vor dem HERRN.
62 Und ihre Summe war dreiundzwanzigtausend, alles Mannsbilder, von einem Monat und darüber. Denn sie wurden nicht gezählt unter die Kinder Israel; denn man gab ihnen kein Erbe unter den Kindern Israel.
63 Das ist die Summe der Kinder Israel, die Mose und Eleasar, der Priester, zählten im Gefilde der Moabiter, an dem Jordan gegenüber Jericho;
64 unter welchen war keiner aus der Summe, da Mose und Aaron, der Priester, die Kinder Israel zählten in der Wüste Sinai.
65 Denn der HERR hatte ihnen gesagt, sie sollten des Todes sterben in der Wüste. Und blieb keiner übrig als Kaleb, der Sohn Jephunnes, und Josua, der Sohn Nuns.
