**Overview**
**** [Numbers 1:1](../../../kjv/numbers/1/1), God commands Moses to number the people; [Numbers 1:5](../../../kjv/numbers/1/5), The princes of the tribes; [Numbers 1:17](../../../kjv/numbers/1/17), The number of every tribe; [Numbers 1:47](../../../kjv/numbers/1/47), The Levites are exempted for the service of the Lord.

**wilderness:** [Numbers 10:11](../../../kjv/numbers/10/11), [Numbers 10:12](../../../kjv/numbers/10/12), [Exodus 19:1](../../../kjv/exodus/19/1), [Leviticus 27:34](../../../kjv/leviticus/27/34)
**tabernacle:** [Exodus 25:22](../../../kjv/exodus/25/22), [Leviticus 1:1](../../../kjv/leviticus/1/1)
**on the first day:** As the tabernacle was erected on the first day of the first month, in the second year of their departure from Egypt - [Exodus 40:17](../../../kjv/exodus/40/17), and this happened on the first day of the second month, in the same year, it is evident that the transactions related in the preceding book must all have taken place in the space of one month, and during the time the Israelites were encamped at mount Sinai. [Numbers 9:1](../../../kjv/numbers/9/1), [Numbers 10:11](../../../kjv/numbers/10/11), [Exodus 40:17](../../../kjv/exodus/40/17), [1 Kings 6:1](../../../kjv/1-kings/6/1)
**Reciprocal:** [Genesis 17:4](../../../kjv/genesis/17/4) - a father [Genesis 35:11](../../../kjv/genesis/35/11) - a nation [Genesis 42:13](../../../kjv/genesis/42/13) - Thy servants [Genesis 46:15](../../../kjv/genesis/46/15) - Leah [Exodus 3:12](../../../kjv/exodus/3/12) - ye shall [Exodus 12:3](../../../kjv/exodus/12/3) - an house [Leviticus 25:1](../../../kjv/leviticus/25/1) - *General* [Numbers 3:1](../../../kjv/numbers/3/1) - spake [Numbers 7:89](../../../kjv/numbers/7/89) - he heard [Numbers 26:4](../../../kjv/numbers/26/4) - *General* [Numbers 26:64](../../../kjv/numbers/26/64) - *General* [Deuteronomy 23:12](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/23/12) - *General*

**Take ye the sum:** This numbering was probably intended to illustrate the Divine faithfulness in thus increasing the seed of Abraham; to prepare them to preserve due order in their march; and to distinguish the tribes and families. [Numbers 26:2-4](../../../kjv/numbers/26/2-4), [Numbers 26:63](../../../kjv/numbers/26/63), [Numbers 26:64](../../../kjv/numbers/26/64), [Exodus 30:12](../../../kjv/exodus/30/12), [Exodus 38:26](../../../kjv/exodus/38/26), [2 Samuel 24:1-3](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24/1-3), [1 Chronicles 21:1](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/21/1), [1 Chronicles 21:2](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/21/2), [1 Chronicles 27:23](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/27/23), [1 Chronicles 27:24](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/27/24)

**Deuel:** As the ד, daleth is very like the ר, resh, they might be easily mistaken for each other; and hence this person being called both Deuel and Reuel, may be easily accounted for. The Septuagint and Syriac have Reuel, in this chapter; and in [Numbers 2:14](../../../kjv/numbers/2/14), the Samaritan, Vulgate, and Arabic have Deuel, instead of Reuel, with which reading a vast number of manuscripts concur, and which is also supported by [Numbers 7:42](../../../kjv/numbers/7/42), [Numbers 10:20](../../../kjv/numbers/10/20). We may therefore safely conclude, the Deuel, and not Reuel, was the original reading.

**from twenty:** In this census no women were reckoned, nor children, nor minors, nor strangers, nor Levites, nor old men; which, collectively, must have formed an immense multitude; the Levites alone amounted to 22,300 men.

[Numbers 2:10](../../../kjv/numbers/2/10), [Numbers 2:11](../../../kjv/numbers/2/11), [Numbers 26:5-7](../../../kjv/numbers/26/5-7), [Genesis 29:32](../../../kjv/genesis/29/32), [Genesis 46:9](../../../kjv/genesis/46/9), [Genesis 49:3](../../../kjv/genesis/49/3), [Genesis 49:4](../../../kjv/genesis/49/4), [1 Chronicles 5:1](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/5/1)
**Reciprocal:** [Genesis 35:22](../../../kjv/genesis/35/22) - Now the sons [Genesis 46:8](../../../kjv/genesis/46/8) - Reuben [Exodus 30:14](../../../kjv/exodus/30/14) - from twenty [Numbers 1:18](../../../kjv/numbers/1/18) - according

That a comparative view may be easily taken of the state of the tribes, we will here produce them, compared with that of the second census - [Numbers 26:1](../../../kjv/numbers/26/1), in their decreasing proportion, beginning with the greatest and proceeding to the least.
**Tribe** **1st Census** **2nd Census**
**Judah** 74,600 76,500
**Dan** 62,700 64,400
**Simeon** 59,300 22,200
**Zebulun** 57,400 60,500
**Issachar** 54,400 64,300
**Naphtali** 53,400 45,400
**Reuben** 46,500 43,730
**Gad** 45,650 40,500
**Asher** 41,500 53,400
**Ephraim** 40,500 32,500
**Benjamin** 35,400 45,600
**Manasseh** 32,200 52,700
**Totals:** **603,550** **601,730**
Thus we find Judah the most populous tribe, and Manasseh the least so; the difference between them being as great as 42,000. Jacob had given Judah the pre-eminence in his prophetic blessing; and that tribe was to have the precedency in the encampments of Israel: accordingly God had increased them more than any of their brethren. Ephraim and Manasseh, according to the same prophecy, were numbered as distinct tribes, Ephraim having the superiority, as it was foretold; and Joseph indeed appears "a fruitful bough." [Numbers 2:10](../../../kjv/numbers/2/10), [Numbers 2:11](../../../kjv/numbers/2/11), [Numbers 26:7](../../../kjv/numbers/26/7)

**Reciprocal:** [Genesis 46:10](../../../kjv/genesis/46/10) - Simeon

The tribe of Gad marched, along with that of Simeon, under the standard of Reuben; and it seems, on that account, to have been introduced in this order. The other tribes also, are here classed together according to their encampments, and the order of their subsequent march.
