Of the sons of Naphtali after their families
on Numbers 26:48-51
Naphtali closes the tribes eight thousand men down. The whole comes to six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty, against six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty at Sinai in 1:46. Forty years, a plague, a rebellion swallowed by the ground and a generation buried, and the fighting strength of Israel is smaller by one thousand eight hundred and twenty men. Every man in this total is a different man from the men in that one.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Of the sons of Naphtali, after their families,.... This tribe, which is the last of them, was numbered next to Asher, because it was with that under the standard of Dan; it had four families in it, the Jahzeelite, Gunite, Jezerite, and Shillemite, and its number was 45,400, being less by 8000 than it was when first numbered.
