Numbers 1:35 Summary
This verse, Numbers 1:35, tells us that there were 32,200 men in the tribe of Manasseh who were twenty years old or older and able to serve in the army. This counting of the Israelites reminds us that God is a God of order and detail, as seen in the way He instructed Moses to conduct the census (Numbers 1:1-4). Just like the Israelites, we are all part of a larger community, the body of Christ, and each of us has a role to play, as stated in 1 Corinthians 12:12-31. By being part of this community, we can fulfill our purpose and serve God, just like the men of the tribe of Manasseh were counted to serve in the army.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the tribe of Manasseh in the Bible?
The tribe of Manasseh is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and it plays a significant role in the biblical narrative, as seen in Numbers 1:35, where they are counted among the tribes of Israel, just like in Deuteronomy 33:13-17, where Moses blesses the tribe.
Why were the Israelites counted in the book of Numbers?
The Israelites were counted in the book of Numbers to determine the number of men who were twenty years old or older and able to serve in the army, as stated in Numbers 1:3, which is similar to the census conducted in Exodus 30:11-16, where each man was required to pay a ransom to the Lord to atone for his life.
How does the number of men in the tribe of Manasseh compare to other tribes?
The number of men in the tribe of Manasseh, which is 32,200 according to Numbers 1:35, is fewer than some tribes like Ephraim, which has 40,500 men, as stated in Numbers 1:33, but more than others, like some of the smaller tribes mentioned later in the chapter.
What can we learn from the specific number of men in the tribe of Manasseh?
The specific number of men in the tribe of Manasseh, 32,200, reminds us that God is a God of order and detail, as seen in the way He instructed Moses to conduct the census in Numbers 1:1-4, and that He has a purpose for each tribe and each individual, as stated in Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11.

Cambridge Bible on Numbers 1:35
17–46. The numbers ascertained by the census. There can be no doubt that the numbers given in chs. 1–3 and 26 are purely artificial. Gray (Numbers, pp. 10–15) shews that (1) they are impossible, (2) when compared with each other they yield absurd results, (3) they are inconsistent with numbers given in Hebrew literature earlier than P . (1) The number of male Israelites of fighting age is put at 603,550, which appears in round numbers as 600,000 in Numbers 11:21, Exodus 12:37. But the fighting men could form hardly more than a quarter of the whole; so that the population would reach a total of some 2¼ millions. The present population of the Sinaitic peninsula is estimated at from 4,000 to 6,000, and a body of over 2 million people could not find subsistence even if dispersed all over the peninsula. (2) The male first-born numbered 22,273 (Numbers 3:43); and it is fair to suppose that the number of families in which the first-born child was a female would be about the same, giving a total of some 44,546 families; in which case there was an average of about 50 children to a family. Again, from Numbers 3:12 we gather that the ‘first-born’ means the first-born of the mother, not the eldest son of a father who might have several wives. There were, therefore, 44,546 mothers.
But this number (assuming that the number of women over 20 years of age was the same as that of the men, i.e. 600,000) involves the extreme improbability that only 1 in 14 women over 20 years of age had any children. (3) According to Judges 5:8 the tribes of Benjamin, Ephraim. Manasseh, Naphtali, Zebulun and Issachar yielded only 40,000 persons, i.e. apparently fighting men. But in these six tribes the fighting men were 273,300 at the first census, and 301,000 at the second (Numbers 26). Again, in Judges 18 it is related that the Danites had no proper territory belonging to them; and therefore 600 armed men (obviously the greater part of the tribe) migrated to the north. But the fighting men of Dan numbered 62,700 at the first census, and 64,400 at the second. See, further, the additional note at the end of the chapter.
