SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:2
Tomad la suma de toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, de veinte años arriba, por las casas de sus padres, a todos los que puedan salir a la guerra en Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 26:2
Verse 2. Take the sum of all the congregation] After thirty- eight years God commands a second census of the Israelites to be made, to preserve the distinction in families, and to regulate the tribes previously to their entry into the promised land, and to ascertain the proportion of land which should be allowed to each tribe. For though the whole was divided by lot, yet the portions were so disposed that a numerous tribe did not draw where the lots assigned small inheritances. See verses 53-56, and also see the note on "chap. i. 1".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel , etc.] Excepting the Levites, who were to be numbered by themselves, and at a different age; this sum was to be taken, that it might appear that all of the old generation that came out of Egypt, of the age at which this sum was taken, were now dead, excepting two, as the Lord had threatened; and partly that as they were now about to enter the land of Canaan, it might be divided to them according to their number; as well as to show the faithfulness of God to his word and promise, that he would multiply and make them fruitful, notwithstanding all their provoking sins and transgressions: from twenty years old and upwards, throughout their father’s house ; all of that age in every tribe, house, and family: all that are able to go to war in Israel ; for which they must prepare, being about to enter the land of Canaan, and dispossess and drive out the inhabitants of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
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)
