Commentary
1 note on this verseThis site's exposition
These were the descendants of Ephraim by their clans
on Numbers 26:35-41
Ephraim loses eight thousand men and comes in at 32,500, 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.
