Their kinsmen
The term "kinsmen" refers to relatives or family members, emphasizing the strong sense of community and familial ties within the tribes of Israel. In Hebrew, the word often used is "אֲחֵיהֶם" (achehem), which underscores the importance of kinship and unity among the Israelites. This reflects the broader biblical theme of the people of God being a family, bound together by covenant and shared heritage.

belonging to all the families of Issachar
The tribe of Issachar was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's son Issachar. Historically, Issachar was known for its agricultural prowess and wisdom. The phrase highlights the inclusivity of the census, ensuring that every family within the tribe was accounted for. This comprehensive approach underscores the value placed on each individual and family unit within the community.

who were mighty men of valor
This phrase, "גִּבּוֹרֵי חַיִל" (gibbori chayil) in Hebrew, is often used to describe warriors of great strength and courage. It signifies not only physical prowess but also moral and spiritual fortitude. In the context of Israel's history, such men were essential for the defense and leadership of the nation. The emphasis on valor reflects the biblical ideal of courage rooted in faith and righteousness.

totaled 87,000
The specific number, 87,000, indicates a significant and formidable force within the tribe of Issachar. Numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic weight, and large numbers like this one suggest strength, blessing, and divine favor. The precision of the count also reflects the importance of order and organization in the community, as well as the meticulous nature of biblical record-keeping.

as listed in their genealogies
Genealogies were crucial in ancient Israel for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and tribal affiliation. The Hebrew term "בְּתוֹלְדוֹתָם" (betoldotam) refers to these records, which were meticulously maintained. This practice ensured continuity and preserved the history and legacy of the people. In a spiritual sense, genealogies remind believers of their place in God's unfolding plan and the importance of faithfulness across generations.
