And it came to pass after the plague that the LORD spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying — After the crisis at Peor and the judgment plague, the LORD commands a new census of the second generation. This marks a theological reset: a new generation must be counted to possess the land. The involvement of Eleazar (Aaron's surviving son, now the high priest after Aaron's death) alongside Moses shows the continuity of leadership—both the civil (Moses) and priestly (Eleazar) authorities oversee the new covenant community.
