From the sons of Joseph
on Numbers 1:32-43
Joseph is counted as two tribes, and Ephraim at 40,500 stands above Manasseh at 32,200. Jacob had crossed his hands at Genesis 48:14-20 and said “his younger brother shall be greater than he”. The roll reads that way generations later.
This site's exposition
the tribe of Dan numbered 62,700
Matthew Henry notes that Dan went down to Egypt with one son and remained a single clan, the Shuhamites of Numbers 26:42. That one family now musters 62,700, second only to Judah. Judges 18:1 finds the tribe still seeking land.

proposed
Of the two half-tribes of Joseph, who is seen to be "a fruitful bough" [Ge 49:22], that of Ephraim was the larger, as had been predicted. The relative increase of all, as in the two just mentioned, was owing to the special blessing of God, conformably to the prophetic declaration of the dying patriarch.
