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.
This site's exposition
their registration numbered 64,300
Issachar reaches 64,300 against 54,400 at Sinai. John Gill notes that it is numbered next to Judah because it camped under the standard of Judah. Only Manasseh, Asher and Benjamin grew by more, and Issachar now ranks third among the tribes in size.
