Commentary
2 notes on this verseOf the sons of Issachar, after their families,.... This tribe was numbered next to Judah, because it was under his standard. Two of his sons are a little differently named than they are Gen 46:13 instead of Phuvah one is called Pua, and instead of Job another is called here Jashub; this tribe consisted of four families, and the number of warlike men in it was 64,300; their increase since the last numbering of them is 9900.
This site's exposition
These were the descendants of Issachar by their clans
on Numbers 26:23-28
Issachar grows by 9,900 and Zebulun by 3,100. The tribes keep the order of chapter 1, except that Manasseh is named before Ephraim. Jacob crossed his hands to set Ephraim first at Genesis 48:14, and the numbers that follow run the other way.
