52And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,

53To these the land shall be divided, so that they may inherit according to the number of the names.τούτοις μερισθήσεται ἡ γῆ, κληρονομεῖν ἐξ ἀριθμοῦ ὀνομάτων.

59And the name of his wife was Jochabed, daughter of Levi, who bore these to Levi in Egypt, and she bore to Amram, Aaron and Moses, and Mariam their sister.Τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰωχαβὲδ, θυγάτηρ Λευὶ, ἣ ἔτεκε τούτους τῷ Λευὶ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἀμρὰμ τὸν Ἀαρὼν καὶ Μωυσῆν, καὶ Μαριὰμ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῶν.

62And there were according to their numbering, twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and upward; for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because they have no inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.Καὶ ἐγενήθησαν ἐξ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῶν τρεῖς καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες, πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἀπὸ μηνιαίου καὶ ἐπάνω· οὐ γὰρ συνεπεσκέπησαν ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι οὐ δίδοται αὐτοῖς κλῆρος ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.

63And this is the numbering of Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in Araboth of Moab, at Jordan by Jericho.Καὶ αὕτη ἡ ἐπίσκεψις Μωυσῆ καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ τοῦ ἱερέως, οἱ ἐπεσκέψαντο τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Ἀραβὼθ Μωὰβ, ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κατὰ Ἱεριχώ.

64And among these there was not a man numbered by Moses and Aaron, whom, even the children of Israel, they numbered in the wilderness of Sinai.Καὶ ἐν τούτοις οὐκ ἦν ἄνθρωπος τῶν ἐπεσκεμμένων ὑπὸ Μωυσῆ καὶ Ἀαρὼν, οὓς ἐπεσκέψαντο τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Σινᾷ.

65For the Lord said to them, They shall surely die in the wilderness; and there was not left even one of them, except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the son of Naue.Ὅτι εἶπε Κύριος αὐτοῖς, θανάτῳ ἀποθανοῦνται ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδὲ εἷς, πλὴν Χάλεβ υἱὸς Ἰεφοννὴ, καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυή.
