📚 Historical Context
This census was taken while the Israelites were camped at Mount Sinai, about a year after leaving Egypt. God commanded Moses to organize the twelve tribes into a specific marching order around the tabernacle, with each tribe having a designated position for both camping and traveling. Ephraim, along with Manasseh and Benjamin, formed one of the four major camp divisions.
