57 And these 'are' numbered ones of the Levite by their families: of Gershon 'is' the family of the Gershonite; of Kohath the family of the Kohathite; of Merari the family of the Merarite. 58 These 'are' families of the Levite: the family of the Libnite, the family of the Hebronite, the family of the Mahlite, the family of the Mushite, the family of the Korathite. And Kohath hath begotten Amram, 59 and the name of Amram's wife is Jochebed, daughter of Levi, whom 'one' hath born to Levi in Egypt; and she beareth to Amram Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam their sister. 60 And born to Aaron Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar; 61 and Nadab dieth—Abihu also—in their bringing near strange fire before Jehovah. 62 And their numbered ones are three and twenty thousand, every male from a son of a month and upwards, for they have not numbered themselves in the midst of the sons of Israel; for an inheritance hath not been given to them in the midst of the sons of Israel.

Commentary on Numbers 26:57-62
(Read Numbers 26:57-62)
Levi was God's tribe; therefore it was not numbered with the rest, but alone. It came not under the sentence, that none of them should enter Canaan excepting Caleb and Joshua.
