26:63

26:62	Counting every male over one month old, the tally of [the Levites] was 23,000. They were not tallied among the other Israelites because they were not to be given hereditary property among the [other] Israelites. Vayihyu fkudeyhem shloshah ve'esrim elef kol-zachar miben-chodesh vamalah ki lo hotpakdu betoch beney Yisra'el ki lo nitan lahem nachalah betoch beney Yisra'el.
26:63	The above was the census that Moses and Eleazar the priest took of the Israelites in the Western Plains of Moab, on the Jericho section of the Jordan. Eleh pkudey Moshe ve'El'azar hakohen asher pakdu et-beney Yisra'el be'arvot Moav al Yarden Yerecho.
