Treasury of Scripture Knowledge All the Levites, that I Moses and Aaron numbered according to the precept of the Lord, by their f families, of the male kind from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand. 7500, the Kohathites 8600, and the Merarites 6200, which make a total of 22,300. Several methods of solving this difficulty have been proposed by learned men. Houbigant supposes there is an error in the enumeration of the Kohathites in ver. Numbers 3:28 All of the male sex from one month and upward, eight thousand six hundred: they shall have the guard of the sanctuary, ; the numeral shesh, 'six,' being written instead of shalosh, 'three', before 'hundred.' Dr. Kennicott's mode of reconciling the discrepancy, however, is the most simple. He supposes that an error has crept into the number of the Gershonites in ver. Numbers 3:22 Of which were numbered, people of the male sex from one month and upward, seven thousand five hundred. , where instead of 7500 we should read 7200, as caph final, which stands for 500, might have been easily mistaken for resh, 200. (Dr. Kennicott on the Hebrew Text, vol. Numbers 3:11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: , p.212.) Either of these modes will equally reconcile the difference. Numbers 4:47,48 From thirty years old and upward, until fifty years old, that go into the ministry of the tabernacle, and to carry the burdens, . . . Numbers 26:62 And all that were numbered, were twenty-three thousand males from one month old and upward: for they were not reckoned up among the children of Israel, neither was a possession given to them with the rest.
