1:44 These were the men whom Moses and Aaron numbered 1 along with the twelve leaders of Israel, each of whom 2 was from his own family. 1:45 All the Israelites who were twenty years old or older, who could serve in Israel’s army, were numbered 3 according to their families. 1:46 And all those numbered totaled 603,550.
1 tn The construction uses both the passive participle הַפְּקֻדִים (happÿqudim) and the verb פָּקַד (paqad), giving a literal translation of “these were the numbered ones, whom Moses and Aaron numbered.”
2 tn Heb “they were one man for the house of his fathers.”
3 tn Literally the text has, “and all the numbered of the Israelites were according to their families.” The verb in the sentence is actually without a complement (see v. 46).
