Of the tribe of Joseph, namely
on Numbers 13:11-15
Levi is absent from the twelve and Joseph is divided into Ephraim at verse 8 and Manasseh here, which holds the number at twelve by the same device the census used at Numbers 1:10. Adam Clarke observes that the Hebrew letters of Sethur at verse 13 add to six hundred and sixty six, and then dismisses his own observation as useless to either history or theology. The roll closes with Gad, and the very next verse changes one of the names in it.
