3 Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke to the people on the plains of Moab near the Jordan River, across from Jericho. They said,
4 “Count the men twenty years old or older, as the Lord commanded Moses.”Here are the Israelites who came out of Egypt:
5 The tribe of Reuben, the first son born to Israel, was counted. From Hanoch came the Hanochite family group; from Pallu came the Palluite family group;
6 from Hezron came the Hezronite family group; from Carmi came the Carmite family group.
7 These were the family groups of Reuben, and the total number of men was 43,730.
8 The son of Pallu was Eliab,
9 and Eliab’s sons were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram were the leaders who turned against Moses and Aaron and followed Korah when he turned against the Lord.
