Numbers 26:64 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 26:64

But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and
Aaron the priest numbered.
&c.] About thirty eight years before this time: this, as Aben Ezra observes, respects the numbering of the Israelites, not of the Levites; for there were some of the tribe of Levi numbered then who were living, as Eleazar, and very probably Ithamar, and perhaps some few more, though it may be Eleazar, being now a numberer, was not reckoned among the numbered:

when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai;
see ( Numbers 1:1-54 ) for as there were none of the tribe of Levi among the spies, there might be but few of them among the murmurers.

Numbers 26:64 In-Context

62 The men from the Levite clans who were one month old or older numbered 23,000. But the Levites were not included in the registration of the rest of the people of Israel because they were not given an allotment of land when it was divided among the Israelites.

63 So these are the results of the registration of the people of Israel as conducted by Moses and Eleazar the priest on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.

64 Not one person on this list had been among those listed in the previous registration taken by Moses and Aaron in the wilderness of Sinai.

65 For the LORD had said of them, “They will all die in the wilderness.” Not one of them survived except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
