Numbers 30

Numbers 30:1

Died not - God being pleased to spare them, because they disowned their father’s fact, and separated themselves both from his tent and company. Hence the sons of Korah are mentioned, 1 Chronicles 6:22,38, and often in the book of Psalms.

Numbers 30:2

Jachin - Called also Jarib, 1 Chronicles 4:24. And such names might be either added or changed upon some special occasion not recorded in scripture.

Numbers 30:4

Twenty two thousand and two hundred - No tribe decreased so much as Simeon’s. From fifty nine thousand and three hundred it sunk to twenty two thousand and two hundred, little more than a third part of what it was. One whole family of that tribe, (Ohad mentioned Exodus 6:15) was extinct in the wilderness. Some think most of the twenty four thousand, cut off by the plague for the iniquity of Peor, were of that tribe. For Zimri, a ring - leader in that iniquity, was a prince of that tribe. Simeon is not mentioned in Moses’s blessing, Deuteronomy 33:1 - 29. And the lot of that tribe in Canaan was inconsiderable, only a canton out of Judah’s lot, Joshua 19:9.

Numbers 30:8

Children of Gad - Fewer by above five thousand than there were in their last numbering.

Numbers 30:12

The families of Judah - About two thousand more than they were, Numbers 1:27, whereas the foregoing tribes were all diminished.
