All else is commentary.

1 After the plague, ADONAI spoke to Moshe and to El‘azar ben Aharon the cohen, saying, 2 “Take a census of all the community of the people of Isra'el, from twenty years old and upward, by their clans, all who are able to go out to war in Isra'el.” 3 Moshe and El‘azar the cohen spoke with them in the plains of Mo’av by the Yarden at Yericho, saying, 4 “Take a census, from twenty years old and upward, as ADONAI commanded Moshe and the people of Isra'el.”
These are those who came out of the land of Egypt.

(iii) 52 ADONAI told Moshe, 53 “To these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names. 54 To the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance. To everyone according to those who were counted of him shall his inheritance be given. 55 Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot. According to the names of the clans of their fathers they shall inherit. 56 According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.”
57 These are those who were counted of the L’vi’im after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of K’hat, the family of the K’hatites; of M’rari, the family of the M’rarites. 58 These are the families of Levi: the family of the Livnites, the family of the Hevronites, the family of the Machlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korahites. K’hat became the father of ‘Amram. 59 The name of ‘Amram’s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt. She bore to ‘Amram Aharon and Moshe, and Miryam their sister. 60 To Aharon were born Nadav and Avihu, El‘azar and Itamar. 61 Nadav and Avihu died when they offered strange fire in the presence of ADONAI. 62 Those who were counted of them were 23,000, every male from a month old and upward; for they were not counted among the people of Isra'el, because there was no inheritance given them among the people of Isra'el.
63 These are those who were counted by Moshe and El‘azar the cohen, who counted the people of Isra'el in the plains of Mo’av by the Yarden at Yericho. 64 But among these there was not a man of them who were counted by Moshe and Aharon the cohen, who counted the people of Isra'el in the Sinai Desert. 65 For ADONAI had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” There was not a man left of them, except Kalev ben Y’funeh, and Y’hoshua ben Nun.
