Numbers 26 · Grade 3
The New Generation
Read the Story
After the plague, Yahweh told Moses and Eleazar to take a census. They counted men twenty and older who could go to war. They were in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan at Jericho.
The total was 601,730. The land would be divided by lot. Big tribes would get more land. Small tribes would get less. The Levites were counted apart. They would get no land.
From the first count at Sinai, only two men were left. They were Caleb and Joshua. God had said the unbelieving generation would die in the wilderness. Now He was ready to bring their children in.
