And his host, and those that were numbered of them,.... As they had been before; and, supposing these words to be the words of God, there is no necessity of rendering them in the future, as some have observed; though they seem rather to be the words of Moses, who under every tribe repeats the number, which is exactly the same as when taken; and though it was not till twenty days after that they set forward according to their order of encampment, not one of them died, which Aben Ezra observes as a very wonderful thing:
were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred; the number of the tribe of Judah were 74,600; see Num 1:27.

4. Those that were numbered — These words are simply explanatory of his host. The better translation would be his host, even those of them who were mustered. Good generalship always puts the strongest battalion in the van, to receive without faltering any sudden attack from the front, and also places a strong rear-guard for the same reason. This accounts for the position of Dan’s grand division, next in strength to Judah’s.
