Numbers 1:37
“those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.”
What does Numbers 1:37 mean?
This verse is part of a census Moses took of the Israelite community as they prepared to journey from Egypt toward the promised land. Each tribe was counted to understand their population and military strength, and Benjamin's number came to 35,400 people. The census served practical purposes like organizing the camp and determining how many men could serve as warriors, but it also symbolized God's care in numbering and knowing his people by name.
