This 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

their registration numbered 43,730

Reuben stands at 43,730 against 46,500 at Sinai, a loss of 2,770. John Wesley and Jamieson, Fausset & Brown both lay part of it to Korah's conspiracy and to other outbreaks in the tribe. Its clans, in their reading, were principal households divided into many smaller families.

These are the families of the Reubenites--the principal households, which were subdivided into numerous smaller families. Reuben had suffered great diminution by Korah's conspiracy and other outbreaks [Nu 16:1].
