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.
