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 60,500
Zebulun counts 60,500, a rise of 3,100 on its 57,400 at Sinai, as John Gill records. Its total completes the camp of Judah. The three tribes under that standard now number 201,300 men, up from 186,400 in Numbers 1.
