Numbers 2:22
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.
Next will be the tribe of Benjamin. The leader of the Benjamites is Abidan son of Gideoni,
23 and his division numbers 35,400.
24 The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Ephraim is 108,100; they shall set out third.
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.
