Numbers 2:4

And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.

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 Numbers 1:27.
