Bilangan 2:4-7

2:4 Those numbered in his division ³  are 74,600. 2:5 Those who will be camping next to them ⁴  are the tribe of Issachar. The leader of the people of Issachar is Nethanel son of Zuar. 2:6 Those numbered in his division are 54,400. 2:7 Next will be ⁵  the tribe of Zebulun. The leader of the people of Zebulun is Eliab son of Helon.

[26:1]  ² tc The MT has also “saying.”

[2:4]  ³ tc The expression “and his divisions and those numbered of them” is somewhat tautological. The words are synonyms used for statistical purposes, and so neither should be simply deleted.

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “by him” [i.e., Judah].

[2:7]  ⁵ tn This part has been supplied; the text simply has “the tribe of Zebulun.”
