Commentary
5 notes on this verseThese were the numbered - Very nigh as many as there were before, chap. i, 46. So wisely and marvelously did God at the same time manifest his justice in cutting off so vast a number; his mercy in giving such a speedy and numerous supply; and his truth in both.
This site's exposition
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.

This shows a decrease of 1,820 from the number at Sinai; a decrease due to the recent plague.
