Numbers 2:29
27 The tribe of Asher will camp next to it. The leader of the Asherites is Pagiel son of Ocran,
28 and his division numbers 41,500.
Next will be the tribe of Naphtali. The leader of the Naphtalites is Ahira son of Enan,
30 and his division numbers 53,400.
31 The total number of men in the camp of Dan is 157,600; they shall set out last, under their standards.”
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.
