Numbers 26 records the second census instructed by the Lord, "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." The total number of the men of Israel was 601,730.
"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 desert, and not one of them was left except Caleb and Joshua."
