those registered
The phrase "those registered" refers to the act of taking a census, which is a significant event in the context of the Israelites. The Hebrew root for "registered" is "paqad," which means to count, number, or muster. This census was not merely a bureaucratic exercise but a divinely commanded task to organize the people for their journey and eventual conquest of the Promised Land. It underscores the importance of order and preparation in fulfilling God's promises.

to the tribe of Simeon
The "tribe of Simeon" is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Simeon, the second son of Jacob and Leah. Historically, the tribe of Simeon had a unique position among the tribes. In Genesis 49:5-7, Jacob prophesied that Simeon and Levi would be scattered in Israel due to their violent actions. This prophecy is reflected in the later distribution of the Simeonites within the territory of Judah. The mention of Simeon in this census highlights God's faithfulness in preserving each tribe despite past transgressions.

numbered 59,300
The specific number "59,300" indicates the men of military age within the tribe of Simeon. This precise counting reflects the importance of each individual in God's plan. In the broader biblical narrative, numbers often have symbolic significance, and the act of numbering the people signifies God's intimate knowledge and care for His people. The large number also demonstrates the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars. Despite the challenges and wanderings in the wilderness, God was increasing and sustaining His people.
