In the Book of Numbers, chapter 26, God instructed Moses to conduct a second census of the Israelites as they neared the end of their wilderness wanderings and prepared to enter the Promised Land. This census recorded the population of each tribe, including Judah, to help organize the distribution of land and ensure God's promises to the descendants of Abraham were fulfilled. It took place around 1400 BC, highlighting God's faithfulness in preserving His people despite their disobedience and the passage of time.
