Verses 1-51 - Moses did not number the people but when God commanded him. We have here the families registered, as well as the tribes. The total wa nearly the same as when numbered at mount Sinai. Notice is here take of the children of Korah; they died not, as the children of Dathan an Abiram; they seem not to have joined even their own father i rebellion. If we partake not of the sins of sinners, we shall no partake of their plagues. (Nu 26:52-56)
