كَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ موسى وأَلِعازارَ بنَ هارونَ الكاهِنِ قائلًا

«أَحْصِيا جَماعةَ بَني إِسْرائيلَ كُلَّها، مِن ٱبنِ عِشْرينَ سَنةً فصاعِدًا، على حَسَبِ بُيوتِ آبائِهم، كُلَّ مَن يَخرُجُ إِلى القِتالِ مِن إِسْرائيل»

بِالقُرعَةِ فَقَط تُقسَمُ الأَرض، وبِحَسَبِ أَسْماءِ أَسْباطِ آبائِهم يَرِثون

بِحَسَبِ القُرعَةِ يُقسَمُ الميراثُ بَينَ الكَثيرِ والقَليل»

أُولٰئِكَ مُحصَو موسى وأَلِعازَر الكاهِنِ اللَّذَينِ أَحصَيا بَني إِسْرائيلَ في عَرَبَةَ موآب على أُردُنِّ أَريحا

ولم يَكُنْ فيهم أَحَدٌ مِمَّن أَحْصاهم موسى وهارونُ الكاهِن، حينَ أَحصَيا بَني إِسْرائيلَ في بَرِّيَّةِ سيناء

لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قالَ لَهم إِنَّهم يَموتونَ مَوتًا في البَرِّيَّة، فلَم يَبقَ مِنهم أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كالِبَ بنَ يَفُنَّا ويَشوعَ بنَ نون
