Numbers 26

1 And it cames to pass, after the plague, that YHWH spoke to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saying, 2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, from a son of twenty years and upward, by the house of their fathers, everyone going out to the host in Israel.” 3 And Moses spoke—Eleazar the priest also—with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, near Jericho, saying, 4 “From a son of twenty years and upward,” as YHWH had commanded Moses and the sons of Israel who were coming out from the land of Egypt. 5 Reuben, firstborn of Israel—sons of Reuben: of Enoch was the family of the Enochite.

Each will be given his inheritance according to his numbered ones. 55 Surely the land will be apportioned by lot. They inherit by the names of the tribes of their fathers. 56 Their inheritance is apportioned according to the lot between many and few.” 57 And these were numbered ones of the Levite by their families: of Gershon was the family of the Gershonite.
