Each clan carried specific responsibilities in camp arrangement and future land allotment (Numbers 2:31; Joshua 19:40-48). • Their shared lineage fostered unity, yet each clan maintained distinct roles within the larger body—an early picture of many members forming one nation (1 Corinthians 12:12 compares within the church). and their registration • “Registration” refers to the divinely commanded census of the second generation after the Exodus (Numbers 26:1-2). • The count was military in focus—men twenty years and older “fit for service.” It prepared Israel to enter and possess Canaan (Deuteronomy 1:8). • Recording the total also safeguarded equitable distribution of land, since territory would be apportioned “according to the number of names” (Numbers 26:53-56). • The meticulous recordkeeping underlines God’s care for every individual; no warrior and no inheritance was left unaccounted for (Luke 12:7 affirms His detailed concern). numbered 64,400 • This figure marks an increase from the first census total of Dan, 62,700 (Numbers 1:39).
