Numbers 2:19
17 In the middle of the camps, the Tent of Meeting is to travel with the camp of the Levites. They are to set out in the order they encamped, each in his own place under his standard.
18 On the west side, the divisions of Ephraim are to camp under their standard: The leader of the Ephraimites is Elishama son of Ammihud,
and his division numbers 40,500.
20 The tribe of Manasseh will be next to it. The leader of the Manassites is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur,
21 and his division numbers 32,200.
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.
