Commentary

1 note on this verse

This site's exposition

And these are they that were numbered of the Levites

on Numbers 26:57-62

Levi is counted apart, as in chapter 3, and by another rule, every male from a month old and upward rather than every man of twenty able to fight. Verse 62 gives the reason in the same breath, that there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel. The roll stops at Amram's house to name Jochebed, and at Aaron's to record that Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire, which Leviticus 10:1-2 tells. Levi comes to twenty and three thousand, a thousand more than at Sinai.
