Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Moses and Eleazar address the Israelite community on the plains of Moab, recording a second census before the conquest of Canaan.

The words — The Hebrew מִשְׁפְּחֹת (mishpeḥot) denotes family divisions, while לִפְקֻדֵיהֶם (lifqudehem) specifies the counted or enrolled men.

The thread — This record mirrors the first Danite census in Numbers 1:38 and follows the tribal encampment protocol detailed in Numbers 2:25.

Why it lands — The text states a fixed headcount to establish tribal boundaries and military structure, requiring the reader to recognize the administrative precision behind the preservation of the twelve tribes.
