Commentary
2 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
Reuben was the firstborn of Israel
on Numbers 26:5-11
Verse 11 adds what chapter 16 never gave: "the line of Korah did not die out". That house sings afterward, and eleven psalms carry the sons of Korah in their titles.
This site's exposition
the Carmite clan from Carmi
Hezron and Carmi complete the four clans of Reuben. Matthew Henry explains that a family in these rolls means all the descendants of one son of a patriarch. John Wesley adds that each tribe's land was shared among its families according to the number of persons in each.
