Num. 26:1–65 The first census (ch. 1) established the number of fighting men in Israel. This second census establishes the size of each tribe, so that each may receive the appropriate amount of land (26:53–54). The total number of Israelites has changed very little between the censuses, but the people being counted are quite different (vv. 64–65). Only Joshua and Caleb figure in both totals. See note on 1:20–46.
Num. 26:1 Eleazar has now taken over from his father, Aaron, as high priest.
Num. 26:9–11 These verses recall the events in ch. 16.
Num. 26:11 But the sons of Korah did not die clarifies a possible misreading of 16:32.
Num. 26:19–21 sons of Judah. See Genesis 38.
Num. 26:28–37 Verse 28 reverses the order of Ephraim and Manasseh in 1:32–35. The detail given here about Manasseh explains the identity of the daughters of Zelophehad (26:33), who are prominent in chs. 27 and 36. (See also note on 27:1–11.)
