From the sons of Manasseh
The phrase "From the sons of Manasseh" refers to the descendants of Manasseh, one of the sons of Joseph. Manasseh, along with his brother Ephraim, was adopted by Jacob as his own sons, thus receiving a portion of the inheritance among the tribes of Israel. The tribe of Manasseh is significant in Israel's history, as it was one of the tribes that settled on both sides of the Jordan River. This dual settlement is a testament to their strength and numbers. The Hebrew root for Manasseh, "מְנַשֶּׁה" (Menasheh), means "causing to forget," which reflects Joseph's sentiment of forgetting his hardships in Egypt (Genesis 41:51).

their genealogies according to their clans and families
This phrase emphasizes the importance of lineage and family structure in ancient Israelite society. Genealogies were crucial for maintaining tribal identity and inheritance rights. The Hebrew word for genealogy, "תּוֹלְדוֹת" (toledot), often signifies generations or descendants, underscoring the continuity of God's promises through the family line. Clans and families were sub-divisions within the tribe, highlighting the organized and communal nature of Israelite society.

were counted
The act of counting, or taking a census, was a directive from God to Moses. In Hebrew, the word "פָּקַד" (paqad) can mean to count, muster, or appoint. This census was not merely for statistical purposes but was a divine mandate to organize the people for military and religious duties. It reflects God's orderliness and His concern for each individual within the community.

and the names of those twenty years of age or older
This phrase specifies the age requirement for those included in the census. The age of twenty was significant as it marked the transition into adulthood and eligibility for military service. In the Hebrew culture, reaching this age meant readiness to take on responsibilities and participate in the defense and governance of the nation. This age requirement underscores the importance of maturity and preparedness in fulfilling God's purposes.

were listed one by one
The meticulous listing "one by one" indicates the care and precision with which the census was conducted. Each individual was accounted for, highlighting the value of every person in the eyes of God. This detailed enumeration reflects the biblical principle that God knows each of His people personally and individually. The Hebrew concept here is akin to "שֵׁם" (shem), meaning name, which signifies identity and personal worth.
