Numbers 2:20
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,
19 and his division numbers 40,500.
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.
22 Next will be the tribe of Benjamin. The leader of the Benjamites is Abidan son of Gideoni,
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.
