Not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun

Numbers 26:1-65

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.”

These were the clans of Reuben; those numbered were 43,730. （46500） -3000 (chap1)

These were the clans of Simeon; those numbered were 22,200.  （59300 )  - 27100

These were the clans of Gad; those numbered were 40,500.   （45650） - 5150

These were the clans of Judah; those numbered were 76,500.  （74600） + 1900

These were the clans of Issachar; those numbered were 64,300.  （54400）+10100

These were the clans of Zebulun; those numbered were 60,500.   （57400） +3100

These were the clans of Manasseh; those numbered were 52,700.  （32200）+30500

These were the clans of Ephraim; those numbered were 32,500.  （40500） -8000

These were the clans of Benjamin; those numbered were 45,600.  （35400） +10200

These were the clans of Dan: All of them were Shuhamite clans; and those numbered were 64,400.（62700） -1700

These were the clans of Asher; those numbered were 53,400. （41500） +11900

These were the clans of Naphtali; those numbered were 45,400.   （53400） -8000

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

All the male Levites a month old or more numbered 23,000. They were not counted along with the other Israelites because they received no inheritance among them.

Not 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 wilderness, and not one of them was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.

Why?

The word of the Lord is the truth, First counted the people of Isrelite is in the First chapter of Numbers, Before Isrelite entered the promised land the Lord asked them to recount their number for grumbled the Lotd in wirederness are all dead, except Calab and Joshua. 

The word of the Lord never miss. Trust in the Lord and obeying His command is the way of living in the role with peace and joy.

The number of the six tribes increased and another six tribes of Israelite decreased. So the increased tribes are blessed.

The number of family and tribes are in the hands of the Lord and depends on how we obey the word of the Lord.

第二次數點入口，在瘟疫之後由摩西和以利亞撒負責，在耶利哥城對岸的約旦河邊。應許就在眼前，以色列人要預備好，完全倒空才能承受神的恩典。要打起精神繼續往前走。

瘟疫事件與巴蘭也有關係，巴勒不敢直接和以色列人打仗，沒有成功，就用誘惑，發生淫亂及拜偶像。外部的攻擊無法讓以色列人瓦解，內部的腐敗才會導致分離，走下坡。第二是大坍，

珥和俄南，不願意給兄弟留後代。

西羅非哈女兒的名字就是瑪拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。在當時神已經自重女性，女性可以繼承祖產。可拉家族依然有存留後代。

數點軍隊目的要打仗，且要分地，打仗不一定嬴，現在已經先依照人口分地，同時評估屬靈的狀況。

How?

May my life and my family trust in the Lord from beginning to the end in our life.
