These were the clans of Simeon
The tribe of Simeon is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Simeon, the second son of Jacob and Leah. The mention of "clans" indicates the subdivisions within the tribe, which were often based on family lines. In the broader biblical narrative, the tribe of Simeon is known for its role in the incident at Shechem (Genesis 34) and its subsequent decline in prominence. The tribe's inheritance was within the territory of Judah (Joshua 19:1-9), which may have contributed to its absorption and loss of distinct identity over time.

and there were 22,200 men
This census count reflects the number of men aged 20 and above who were able to go to war, as was the purpose of the census in Numbers 26. Compared to the first census in Numbers 1, the tribe of Simeon experienced a significant decrease in numbers, from 59,300 to 22,200. This decline could be attributed to the events at Baal Peor (Numbers 25), where many Israelites, including members of the tribe of Simeon, were killed due to idolatry and immorality. The reduction in numbers serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience to God's commands.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Simeon
Simeon was one of the twelve sons of Jacob, making him one of the patriarchs of the tribes of Israel. The tribe of Simeon is being counted in this census.

2. Census of Israel
This event is the second census of the Israelites, conducted in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. It was commanded by God to Moses and Eleazar the priest to count the men of Israel who were able to go to war.

3. Plains of Moab
This is the location where the Israelites were encamped as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. It is significant as the setting for the census and other events in the book of Numbers.
Teaching Points
The Importance of Obedience
The census was commanded by God, highlighting the importance of obedience to divine instructions. This teaches us to heed God's commands in our lives.

Consequences of Sin
The reduction in the number of the tribe of Simeon from the first census to the second may reflect the consequences of sin and disobedience, as seen in the incident at Peor (Numbers 25).

God's Sovereignty in History
The census reflects God's sovereign plan for His people, reminding us that He is in control of history and the destinies of nations and individuals.

Community and Accountability
The census underscores the importance of community and accountability within the people of God, as each tribe and family is accounted for.

Preparation for the Future
The census was a preparation for entering the Promised Land, teaching us the importance of preparation and readiness for the tasks God sets before us.(14) Twenty and two thousand and two hundred.--This shows a decrease of 37,100 in the tribe of Simeon. Zimri, the chief offender in the matter of Baal-peor, belonged to this tribe, and, as in the case of the Reubenites, it is probable that he had led astray many of his tribe with him. It is remarkable that this is the only tribe on which, according to the present Hebrew text,[127] no blessing was pronounced by Moses (Deuteronomy 33), and that in the allotment of the land of Canaan the inheritance of Simeon was only the remnant of that which was assigned to Judah (Joshua 19:9).

[127] The "Codex Alexandrinus" inserts a clause: "Let Simeon be many in number."
