Numbers 26:51 (King James Version)
These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.
- The following comparative statement will show how much some of the tribes had increased, and others had diminished, since the enumeration in ch. 1:
- Thus we find there was the following increase and decrease in the several tribes:
- It should be observed, that among these there was not one of the former census, except Joshua and Caleb
- (See ver. 64, 65.) Thus, though there was such an amazing increase in seven
- tribes, yet so great was the decrease in the other five tribes, that the balance against the present census is Numbers 26:1 Numbers 26:820 ; as appears above. Notwithstanding the amazing increase in some, and decrease in other tribes, the same sort of proportion is kept in their several divisions; so as to keep the division in the front the largest, and that in the rear the next. 1:46 2:32 Nehemiah 9:23 ; Job 12:9 Job 12:10 Job 12:14 Job 12:20-23 ; Psalms 77:20
