1 After the plague, Adonai said to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the kohen saying,
2 “Take a headcount of the entire community of Bnei-Yisrael, sons twenty years old and upward, by their ancestral houses, all who can serve in Israel’s army.”
3 So Moses and Eleazar the kohen spoke with them on the Moabite plains by the Jordan across from Jericho saying,
4 “Just as Adonai commanded Moses, a census will be taken of all men of Bnei-Yisrael who came out of Egypt, from 20 years old and upward.”
5 The descendants of the sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn: by Hanoch the Hanochite family, by Pallu the Palluite family,
6 by Hezron the Hezronite family, and by Carmi the Carmite family,
7 these Reubenite families numbered 43,730.
