Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:1-43 The people were numbered to show God's faithfulness in thus increasing the seed of Jacob, that they might be the better trained for the wars and conquest of Canaan, and to ascertain their families in order to the division of the land. It is said of each tribe, that those were numbered who were able to go forth to war; they had wars before them, though now they met with no opposition. Let the believer be prepared to withstand the enemies of his soul, though all may appear to be peace.


Numbers 1:20 Now the sons of Reuben, Israel's firstborn, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers' households, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war,
Numbers 1:22 Of the sons of Simeon, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers' households, their numbered men, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, (NASB ©1995)

Five Forty Forty-Six Hundred Numbered Ones Reuben Six Thousand Tribe

Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.

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, (ch 26) in their decreasing proportion, beginning with the greatest and proceeding to the least.

1st Census 2nd Census
1. Judah 74,600 76,500
2. Dan 62,700 64,400
3. Simeon 59,300 22,200
4. Zebulum 57,400 60,500
7. Reuben 46,500 43,730
8. Gad 45,650 40,500
9. Asher 41,500 53,400
10.Ephraim 40,500 32,500
11.Benjamin 35,400 45,600
12.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 precedence 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.' Nu 2:10,11 26:7
