The tribe of Benjamin
The tribe of Benjamin holds a significant place in Israel's history. Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, and his descendants formed one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Hebrew name "Benjamin" means "son of the right hand," symbolizing favor and strength. Historically, the tribe of Benjamin was known for its fierce warriors and played a crucial role in Israel's military campaigns. The tribe's territory was strategically located between the powerful tribes of Judah and Ephraim, which often placed Benjamin in a position of influence and conflict. Notably, King Saul, Israel's first king, was from the tribe of Benjamin, highlighting its importance in the nation's leadership.

will number
The act of numbering or counting the people, as instructed by God, was a way to organize the Israelites for their journey and battles. In Hebrew, the word used for "number" is "paqad," which can also mean to muster or appoint. This census was not merely a logistical exercise but a divine mandate to prepare the Israelites for their mission. It reflects God's orderliness and His concern for each individual within the community. The numbering signifies God's intimate knowledge of His people and His sovereign plan for them.

35,400
This specific number represents the men of fighting age within the tribe of Benjamin. The precision of this count underscores the meticulous nature of God's instructions and the obedience of the Israelites in following them. In the broader context of the census in Numbers, these numbers reflect the strength and readiness of the Israelite community as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. The number 35,400, while seemingly mundane, is a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by multiplying their descendants. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of each tribe's contribution to the collective mission of Israel.
