Study note
Setting — The narrator records the military census of the tribe of Dan following the preceding tribal counts and preceding Asher.
The words — פְּקֻדֵי (pe.ku.dei) means 'enrolled [men]' and מַטֵּה (ma.Teh) denotes 'tribe,' specifying the counted group.
The thread — The same total of 62,700 appears in Numbers 2:26 for Dan’s camp division, while Numbers 26:43 records 64,400 for the Shuhamite clans.
Why it lands — The text demands precise accounting of eligible warriors for each tribe, establishing a structured military organization before entry into the land.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
