Study note
Setting — Moses and the priests record the census of Israel at Sinai, listing the combat-ready men from Gad after detailing Reuben's tribe.
The words — The Hebrew פְּקֻדֵיהֶם (peku.dei.hem) translates to "their enrolled [men]," and the phrase לְמַטֵּה גָד (le.ma.Teh Gad) specifies the "tribe of Gad."
The thread — This exact count appears in Numbers 2:15 for tribal camp positioning and is later reduced to 40,500 in Numbers 26:18.
Why it lands — The text states a precise military tally for Gad, requiring the reader to acknowledge how each tribe's specific number contributes to the ordered structure of the community.
