In this wilderness your corpses shall fall; all your counted ones according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have complained against Me.
English: Rav Hamnuna said: The decree was not decreed on the tribe of Levi. From where? As it is written “from twenty years old and upward” — one whose count is from twenty; the tribe of Levi is excluded, whose count is from thirty.
Type of Learning
Exclusion by census age.
What Is Learned
Levi, counted from thirty, is outside the decree’s stated age band.
