Numbers 1:45
43 those registered to the tribe of Naphtali numbered 53,400.
44 These were the men numbered by Moses and Aaron, with the assistance of the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family.
So all the Israelites twenty years of age or older who could serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.
46 And all those counted totaled 603,550.
47 The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
