And his division
This phrase refers to the organized group within the Israelite camp, specifically the tribe of Ephraim in this context. The Hebrew word for "division" is "מַטֶּה" (matteh), which can also mean "tribe" or "staff." This indicates a structured and hierarchical organization among the Israelites, reflecting God's order and purpose for His people. Historically, the tribes were not just family groups but were seen as units of strength and identity, each with a specific role in the community and in the larger plan of God for Israel.

numbers
The act of numbering or counting is significant in the biblical narrative. The Hebrew root "פָּקַד" (paqad) implies a careful and intentional accounting. This reflects God's attention to detail and His intimate knowledge of His people. In a broader theological sense, it underscores the idea that each individual is known and valued by God. The census was not merely for military or logistical purposes but also served as a reminder of God's covenant promises to Abraham about his descendants.

32,200
This specific number highlights the precision and orderliness of God's instructions to Moses. The number itself, while literal, also symbolizes completeness and readiness for the tasks ahead. In the context of the wilderness journey, it represents the strength and capability of the tribe of Ephraim. Historically, numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic weight, and while this is a literal count, it also serves to remind the reader of God's faithfulness in multiplying the descendants of Israel as He promised. The exactness of the number reflects the reliability of God's word and His meticulous care in fulfilling His promises.
