Numbers 26:1

A Second Census Required

26:1 ¹ After the plague the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, ² 

Numbers 2:4

2:4 Those numbered in his division ³  are 74,600.

Numbers 9:4

9:4 So Moses instructed ⁴  the Israelites to observe ⁵  the Passover.

Nehemiah 11:4

11:4 some of the descendants of Judah and some of the descendants of Benjamin settled in Jerusalem.)

Of the descendants of Judah:

Athaiah son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, from the descendants of Perez;

Nehemiah 11:6

11:6 The sum total of the descendants of Perez who were settling in Jerusalem was 468 exceptional men.

¹ sn The breakdown of ch. 26 for outlining purposes will be essentially according to the tribes of Israel. The format and structure is similar to the first census, and so less comment is necessary here.

² tc The MT has also “saying.”

³ tc The expression “and his divisions and those numbered of them” is somewhat tautological. The words are synonyms used for statistical purposes, and so neither should be simply deleted.

⁴ tn Heb “spoke to.”

⁵ tn The infinitive construct functions as the direct object of the preceding verb (a Hebrew complementary usage), answering the question of what he said.
