This is a biblical text presenting Numbers chapter 26 in parallel columns: the King James Version (KJV) with embedded Strong's Concordance reference numbers, and the Septuagint (LXX) in Greek. The chapter records the second census of the Israelites conducted by Moses and Eleazar the priest in the plains of Moab, ordered by God immediately after a plague. It enumerates all twelve tribes (plus the Levites separately) by family clan, recording each tribe's total count of men twenty years and older who were eligible for military service, with the grand total reaching 601,730. A notable aside interrupts the genealogical enumeration to recall the rebellion of Dathan, Abiram, and Korah—swallowed by the earth along with 250 men consumed by fire—and to note that Zelophehad left only daughters, no sons. The chapter closes with the theologically significant observation that not one man counted in this second census had been counted in the original Sinai census, fulfilling God's judgment that the entire exodus generation would die in the wilderness, with the sole exceptions of Caleb and Joshua.
