📚 Historical Context
This census took place about a year after the Israelites left Egypt, while they were camped at Mount Sinai. God commanded Moses to count all the men who could serve as soldiers as the nation prepared to journey toward the Promised Land. Each of the twelve tribes was counted separately to organize them for both military service and the orderly movement of the camp.
