To show that none of those men who were counted, save Joshua and Caleb, should come in to the land of Canaan, as God promised in

Numbers 14. 29. "Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were

numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,

30. Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun."

How do you link mumbai census wards to MCGM municipal wards Census has it as numbers and MCGM has it as alphabets?

The census numbers range from 101 to 2488. Cut away the last two digits, so they range from 1 to 24. Summarize the data within each of the 24 resulting groups. Take municipal groups and sort them by alphabet. Give them numbers, starting with 1 for ward A. Link the Census data by these numbers. You will find that the summarized population of Census data matches that for municipal wards. Greetings, Jana

The main purpose of the US Census is to find illegal immigrants so they can be deported?

Not at all. The census provides the government with information about its residents like: what's the average annual income, how many families are currently living below the poverty line, what's the percentage of Americans who graduate from high school, etc. It gives the government the numbers it needs so that different agencies can determine which laws work, which don't, what government agencies aren't doing their jobs, how many people are falling through the cracks, etc. It is definitely not the main purpose of the census. It isn't a purpose of the census at all.


Who did Moses count in his census?

The first census recorded in Numbers 1:2-4 - able bodied men from 20 years old and upward (able-bodied in that they could go to war). The second census recorded in Numbers 26:1-4 has the same criteria. A 'minor census' of those engaged in religious service around the Tabernacle and associated religious activities was taken as recorded in Numbers 4:34-44. This was of the families of Merrari, Gershom and Kohath.
