These were the men numbered
This phrase refers to the census taken by Moses and Eleazar. The Hebrew root for "numbered" is "paqad," which means to count, muster, or appoint. In the context of ancient Israel, a census was not merely a counting of people but a preparation for military and organizational purposes. It reflects God's order and structure for His people, emphasizing the importance of each individual within the community. Historically, this census marks a new generation ready to enter the Promised Land, highlighting God's faithfulness in preserving His people despite the previous generation's failures.

by Moses and Eleazar the priest
Moses, the great leader and prophet, and Eleazar, the high priest, are central figures in this narrative. Moses represents God's law and leadership, while Eleazar, the son of Aaron, signifies the priestly continuity and spiritual guidance. The collaboration between Moses and Eleazar underscores the unity between civil and religious leadership in Israel. This partnership is crucial for maintaining the covenant relationship with God, as both leaders ensure that the people are prepared spiritually and practically for the challenges ahead.

totaling 601,730
The specific number, 601,730, is significant as it represents the new generation of Israelites who will inherit the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This number is slightly less than the previous census in Numbers 1, indicating the consequences of the wilderness wanderings and the judgment on the faithless generation. However, it also signifies hope and renewal, as God remains faithful to His promises despite human shortcomings. The precision of this number reflects the meticulous care with which God oversees His people, ensuring that each tribe and family is accounted for in His divine plan.

(51) Six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.--The sum total exhibits a decrease of 1,820, as compared with the census taken at Sinai thirty-eight years previously. On this decrease Bishop Wordsworth observes as follows:--"When the Israelites were suffering persecution in Egypt they 'multiplied exceedingly' (Exodus 1:7; Exodus 1:20); but after their deliverance from Egypt they rebelled against God, and 'He consumed their days in vanity, and their years in trouble' (Psalm 78:33). . . . Here there is comfort and warning to the Church and every soul in it--comfort in time of affliction, and warning in days of prosperity."

Verse 51. - These were the numbered of the children of Israel. The results of this census as compared with the former may be tabulated thus: -

Tribe. ? (No. of families.) ?[First Census.]

Reuben. ? (4) ? [46,500]

Simeon. ? (5) ? [59,300] . . .
