New American Standard Bible (©1995) Those who were numbered of them were 23,000, every male from a month old and upward, for they were not numbered among the sons of Israel since no inheritance was given to them among the sons of Israel.GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995) The total number of all the Levite males at least one month old was 23,000. They were not counted along with the other Israelites, because they were given no land of their own. King James Bible And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.

Mention is made here of the death of Nadab and Abihu for offering strange fire, as before of the sin and punishment of Korah, because these things happened to them for ensamples.
