Commentary
3 notes on this verseAll they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty - What an astonishing increase from seventy souls that went down into Egypt, Gen 46:27, about 215 years before, where latterly they had endured the greatest hardships! But God’s promise cannot fail (Gen 16:5); and who can resist his will, and bring to naught his counsel?
This site's exposition
These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered
on Numbers 1:44-46
The total is six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty, and Exodus 38:26 had already given that exact figure from the half shekel taken of every man numbered, so this count confirms one already made. Seventy souls went down into Egypt at Genesis 46:27 and about six hundred thousand men on foot came out at Exodus 12:37. This list and the one in chapter 26 frame the whole book, and 26:64-65 reports what became of every man on it, that there was not left a man of them save Caleb and Joshua.
