Numbers 2:31

Dan

29 Next will be the tribe of Naphtali. The leader of the Naphtalites is Ahira son of Enan,

30 and his division numbers 53,400.

The total number of men in the camp of Dan is 157,600; they shall set out last, under their standards.”

32 These are the Israelites, numbered according to their families. The total of those counted in the camps, by their divisions, was 603,550.

33 But the Levites were not counted among the other Israelites, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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.
