Numbers 2:14
12 The tribe of Simeon will camp next to it. The leader of the Simeonites is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai,
13 and his division numbers 59,300.
Next will be the tribe of Gad. The leader of the Gadites is Eliasaph son of Deuel,
15 and his division numbers 45,650.
16 The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Reuben is 151,450; they shall set out second.
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.
