1 After that the blood of (the) guilty men was shed out, the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar, the priest, the son of Aaron,
2 Reckon ye all the number of the sons of Israel, from twenty years and above (or from twenty years of age and older), by their houses, and their kindreds, (yea), all (the) men that be able to go forth to battles.

7 These were the families of the generation of Reuben, of which families (all) the number was found (to be) three and forty thousand (and) seven hundred and thirty.
8 The son of Pallu was Eliab;
9 the sons of him were Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These were Dathan and Abiram, the princes of the people, that rose against Moses and Aaron, in the rebelty of Korah, when they rebelled against the Lord, (or These were that Dathan and Abiram, the leaders of the people, who rose up against Moses and Aaron, in the rebellion of Korah, when they rebelled against the Lord);
10 and the earth opened his mouth, and devoured Korah, and full many men died, when the fire burnt two hundred men and fifty; and a great miracle was done, (and the earth opened its mouth, and devoured Korah, and a great many died, when the fire burned up two hundred and fifty men; and a great miracle was done,)
