What does "Numbers 2:15" mean?
Numbers 2 describes the organization of the Israelite tribes around the Tabernacle during their wilderness wanderings. Each tribe was assigned a specific position and had its fighting men counted.
Verse 2:15, "His division, and those who were counted of them, were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty," specifically refers to the tribe of Gad.
Here's a breakdown:
"His division": Refers to the tribal division, specifically the division under the standard of Reuben which included the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad
"Those who were counted of them": This refers to the men of fighting age (20 years and older) in the tribe of Gad who were counted in the census.
"Forty-five thousand six hundred fifty": This is the numerical count of the fighting men of the tribe of Gad.
So, the verse means that the total number of men fit for military service in the tribe of Gad, as determined by the census, was 45,650. This was Gad's contribution to the fighting strength of the Israelites.
