Numbers 1:1-54
1
On the first day of the second month in the second year after the people of Israel left Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses there in the Tent of his presence in the Sinai Desert. He said,
2
"You and Aaron are to take a census of the people of Israel by clans and families. List the names of all the men
3
twenty years old or older who are fit for military service.
4
Ask one clan chief from each tribe to help you."
5
These are the men, leaders within their tribes, who were chosen from the community for this work: (Tribe: Clan chief); Reuben: Elizur son of Shedeur; Simeon: Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai; Judah: Nahshon son of Amminadab; Issachar: Nethanel son of Zuar; Zebulun: Eliab son of Helon; Ephraim: Elishama son of Ammihud; Manasseh: Gamaliel son of Pedahzur; Benjamin: Abidan son of Gideoni; Dan: Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai; Asher: Pagiel son of Ochran; Gad: Eliasaph son of Deuel; Naphtali: Ahira son of Enan
17
With the help of these twelve men Moses and Aaron
18
called together the whole community on the first day of the second month and registered all the people by clans and families. The names of all the men twenty years old or older were recorded and counted,
19
as the LORD had commanded. In the Sinai Desert, Moses registered the people.
20
The men twenty years old or older who were fit for military service were registered by name according to clan and family, beginning with the tribe of Reuben, Jacob's oldest son. The totals were as follows: (Tribe: Number); Reuben: 46,500; Simeon: 59,300; Gad: 45,650; Judah: 74,600; Issachar: 54,400; Zebulun: 57,400; Ephraim: 40,500; Manasseh: 32,200; Benjamin: 35,400; Dan: 62,700; Asher: 41,500; Naphtali: 53,400; Total: 603,550
47
The Levites were not registered with the other tribes,
48
because the LORD had said to Moses,
49
"When you take a census of the men fit for military service, do not include the tribe of Levi.
50
Instead, put the Levites in charge of the Tent of my presence and all its equipment. They shall carry it and its equipment, serve in it, and set up their camp around it.
51
Whenever you move your camp, the Levites shall take the Tent down and set it up again at each new campsite. Anyone else who comes near the Tent shall be put to death.
52
The rest of the Israelites shall set up camp, company by company, each man with his own group and under his own banner.
53
But the Levites shall camp around the Tent to guard it, so that no one may come near and cause my anger to strike the community of Israel."
54
So the people of Israel did everything that the LORD had commanded Moses.
Numbers 26:1-65

and his sons Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. (These are the Dathan and Abiram who were chosen by the community. They defied Moses and Aaron and joined the followers of Korah when they rebelled against the LORD.

53
"Divide the land among the tribes, according to their size.
54
Divide the land by drawing lots, and give a large share to a large tribe and a small one to a small tribe."
57
The tribe of Levi consisted of the clans of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
58
Their descendants included the subclans of Libni, Hebron, Mahli, Mushi, and Korah. Kohath was the father of Amram,
59
who was married to Levi's daughter Jochebed, who was born in Egypt. She bore Amram two sons, Aaron and Moses, and a daughter, Miriam.
60
Aaron had four sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61
Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unholy fire to the LORD.
62
The male Levites who were one month old or older numbered 23,000. They were listed separately from the rest of the Israelites, because they were not given any property in Israel.
63
All these clans were listed by Moses and Eleazar when they took a census of the Israelites in the plains of Moab across the Jordan River from Jericho.
64
There was not even one man left among those whom Moses and Aaron had listed in the first census in the Sinai Desert.
65
The LORD had said that all of them would die in the wilderness, and except for Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun they all did.
Romans 4:11-18
11
He was circumcised later, and his circumcision was a sign to show that because of his faith God had accepted him as righteous before he had been circumcised. And so Abraham is the spiritual father of all who believe in God and are accepted as righteous by him, even though they are not circumcised.
12
He is also the father of those who are circumcised, that is, of those who, in addition to being circumcised, also live the same life of faith that our father Abraham lived before he was circumcised.
13
When God promised Abraham and his descendants that the world would belong to him, he did so, not because Abraham obeyed the Law, but because he believed and was accepted as righteous by God.
14
For if what God promises is to be given to those who obey the Law, then faith means nothing and God's promise is worthless.
15
The Law brings down God's anger; but where there is no law, there is no disobeying of the law.
16
And so the promise was based on faith, in order that the promise should be guaranteed as God's free gift to all of Abraham's descendants---not just to those who obey the Law, but also to those who believe as Abraham did. For Abraham is the spiritual father of us all;
17
as the scripture says, "I have made you father of many nations." So the promise is good in the sight of God, in whom Abraham believed---the God who brings the dead to life and whose command brings into being what did not exist.
18
Abraham believed and hoped, even when there was no reason for hoping, and so became "the father of many nations." Just as the scripture says, "Your descendants will be as many as the stars."
Galatians 3:28
So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slaves and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union with Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:29
If you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham and will receive what God has promised.
