New Census Taken

A search of Numbers 26 (KJV):

After the plague, God commanded Moses and Eleazar, Aaron's priestly son, to take a census of all members of Israel who were twenty years and older and able for war (26:1,2). Moses and Eleazar did as they were commanded (26:3). When the count was complete, there were six hundred one thousand seven hundred thirty children of Israel (26:51).

Now that the count was complete, God said to Moses that the land was to be divided amongst Israel for their inheritance (26:53). According to the Lord, the division was to take place as follows: "To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him. Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few" (26:54-56).

Moses and Eleazar also took a census of the male Levites who were one month and older (26:62). This count was separate from that of the children of Israel since the Levites were not included in the inheritance (26:62). In all, there were twenty-three thousand counted (26:62).

"These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. For the Lord had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, [except] Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun" (26:63-65).
