Numbers 2:9

7 Next will be the tribe of Zebulun. The leader of the Zebulunites is Eliab son of Helon,

8 and his division numbers 57,400.

The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Judah is 186,400; they shall set out first.

10 On the south side, the divisions of Reuben are to camp under their standard: The leader of the Reubenites is Elizur son of Shedeur,

11 and his division numbers 46,500.

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.
