Numbers 26:5

HanochPalluReuben

3 So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest issued the instruction,

4 “Take a census of the men twenty years of age or older, as the LORD has commanded Moses.” And these were the Israelites who came out of the land of Egypt:

Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. These were the descendants of Reuben: The Hanochite clan from Hanoch, the Palluite clan from Pallu,

6 the Hezronite clan from Hezron, and the Carmite clan from Carmi.

7 These were the clans of Reuben, and their registration numbered 43,730.
