Count all the men who are able to serve in Israel’s army. They must be 20 years old or more.” 3At that time the Israelites were on the plains of Moab. They were by the Jordan River across from Jericho. Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them. They said, 4“Count all the men 20 years old or more. Do it just as the Lord commanded Moses.”

Not one of them was left alive except Caleb and Joshua. Caleb was the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua was the son of Nun.
