In the Book of Numbers, God commanded Moses to conduct a census of the Israelite men who were of fighting age while the nation was encamped in the wilderness, as part of preparing for their journey to the Promised Land. This counting helped organize the tribes for military purposes and to understand their strength for the conquest of Canaan. The tribe of Benjamin, as one of the twelve tribes descended from Jacob, was recorded with 35,400 men, reflecting their specific contribution to the community.
