In the first census conducted by Moses in the wilderness, the population of the children of Levi was 22,300. That number was distributed as follows: Moses/Aaron & sons 300, Kohath 8,300, Gershon 7,500, and Merari 6,200. Notice that the population of the family of Kohath from which the priesthood was called, is 8,300, and not 8,600, This is because Moses/Aaron and sons were numbered with their brethren (the Kohathites) for a total of 8,600 (See Num. 3:28, 39). This is the distribution I have employed in my diagrams, since in the second census, the breakdown of their population was not given. Instead, the total was given as 23,000 (Numbers 26:62), I believe that the distribution, if known, should correlate with the size of the inner planets of the Solar System, as does the tribes with the outer planets. 

The Basis of my Assumption

In the first census, the tribe’s total population was 603,550, while in the second census it was 601,730. But you find a totally different distribution for these figures in Numbers 3 than was the case in Numbers 26. For instance, Simon with a population of 59,300 in the first census had only 22,000 in the second; while Asher with 41,500 originally, went up to 53,400 in the second census. Given that it was the population for the second census that finally made it into the Promised Land, it was only logical to apply that in comparing the distribution of the tribes to the size of the planets of the Solar System. The result as we saw were amazingly correspondingly proportional. It seemed reasonable to me, therefore, to assume that the distribution of the figures for the Levitical priesthood in the second census should follow suite if known. This, however, should become clearer when, if the Lord tarries, and the rest of the planets are discovered to show that their sizes are indeed, in direct proportion, comparable to the population of the rest of the tribes as Found in Numbers 26.
