Commentary

1 note on this verse

This site's exposition

These are the sons of Ephraim after their families

on Numbers 26:35-41

Ephraim loses eight thousand men and comes in at thirty and two thousand and five hundred, twenty thousand below Manasseh. Benjamin had ten sons at Genesis 46:21 and five of them head families here, and the chapter gives no reason for the other five. Benjamin has grown by ten thousand men since Sinai even so.
