Because Blogger limits the number of labels per post, I've had to separate this chapter into many short posts in order to note all the important names. There is a census being taken in this chapter of all the able-bodied men of war from twenty years and older. It began here:
Census of Israel in the Plains of Moab, Part 1
Census of Israel in the Plains of Moab, Part 2
Now on with part 3:
(Numbers 26:19) The sons of Judah were Er and Onan; and Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.
Next were counted the men of the tribe of Judah. Judah's first two sons, Er and Onan, died because of their sins in the land of Canaan where they were born, and had no descendants to be counted.
(20) And the sons of Judah after their families were: of Shelah, the family
of the Shelanites; of Pharez, the family of the Pharzites; of Zerah, the
family of the Zarhites.
The sons of Judah who did have families to count were Shelah, Pharez, and Zerah.
(21) And the sons of Pharez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites.
The Pharzites from the family of Pharez were divided into two families from Pharez's two sons: from his son Hezron came the Hezronites, and from his son Hamul, the Hamulites.
(22) These are the families of Judah according to those who were numbered of them, seventy-six thousand five hundred.
The tribe of Judah numbered 76,500 able-bodied men of war twenty years and older. Their numbers had increased 1900 since the first census 38 years prior to this time.
(23) The sons of Issachar after their families: Tola, the family of the Tolaites; of Pua, the family of the Punites; (24) Of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites. (25) These are the families of Issachar according to those who were numbered of them, sixty-four thousand three hundred.
The sons of Issachar and their families who were counted were Tola, Pua, Jashub, and Shimron. They numbered 64,300, an increase of 9900 since the census 38 years prior to this one.
(26) The sons of Zebulun after their families: of
Sered, the family of the Sardites; of Elon, the family of the Elonites;
of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites. (27) These are the families of the Zebulunites according to those who were numbered of them, sixty thousand five hundred.
From the tribe of Zebulun, the families of his sons Sered, Elon, and Jahleel, were counted and totaled 60,500, which was an increase of 3100 since the first census.
That ends this short post because Blogger limits the number of labels per post. To continue the census count:
Census of Israel in the Plains of Moab, Part 4
