~ The Second Census ~

After the plague the Lord said
to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest,
"Take a census of the whole Israelite community
by families --
all those twenty years old or more
who are able to serve in the army of Israel."
So on the plains of Moab
by the Jordan across from Jericho,
Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said,
"Take a census of the men twenty years old or more,
as the Lord commanded Moses."

The total number of the men of Israel was 601,730.

These are the ones counted by
Moses and Eleazar the priest
when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab
by the Jordan across from Jericho.
No one of them was among those
counted by Moses and Aaron the priest
when they counted the Israelites in the Desert of Sinai.
For the Lord had told those Israelites
they would surely die in the desert,
and not one of them was left
except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
