SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:19

como el SEÑOR lo había mandado a Moisés; y los contó en el desierto de Sinaí.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 19. As the Lord commanded Moses , etc.] In this Moses and David differed in numbering the people of Israel; the one did it by an express command from God, and in obedience to it; the other without one, and against his will, ( 1 Chronicles 21:17); so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai ; where they now were when this order was given, ( Numbers 1:1); and from whence they removed the twentieth day of this month, ( Numbers 10:11,12); so that in less than three weeks time, perhaps much sooner, this affair was finished; and it may be, that the place of numbering them at this time is expressly observed, to distinguish it from another numbering of them, recorded in this book, which was done in the plains of Moab, ( Numbers 26:2,3).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-43 - The people were numbered to show God's faithfulness in thus increasin the seed of Jacob, that they might be the better trained for the war and conquest of Canaan, and to ascertain their families in order to the division of the land. It is said of each tribe, that those wer numbered who were able to go forth to war; they had wars before them though now they met with no opposition. Let the believer be prepared to withstand the enemies of his soul, though all may appear to be peace.
