Numbers 2:4-7

2:4 Those numbered in his division ³  are 74,600. 2:5 Those who will be camping next to them ⁴  are the tribe of Issachar. The leader of the people of Issachar is Nethanel son of Zuar. 2:6 Those numbered in his division are 54,400. 2:7 Next will be ⁵  the tribe of Zebulun. The leader of the people of Zebulun is Eliab son of Helon.

[26:1]  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.

[26:1]  ² tc The MT has also “saying.”

[2:4]  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.

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “by him” [i.e., Judah].

[2:7]  ⁵ tn This part has been supplied; the text simply has “the tribe of Zebulun.”
