Numbers 2:7
5 The tribe of Issachar will camp next to it. The leader of the Issacharites is Nethanel son of Zuar,
6 and his division numbers 54,400.
Next will be the tribe of Zebulun. The leader of the Zebulunites is Eliab son of Helon,
8 and his division numbers 57,400.
9 The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Judah is 186,400; they shall set out first.
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.
