those registered
The phrase "those registered" refers to the act of taking a census, which was a significant event in the life of the Israelites. The Hebrew root for "registered" is "paqad," which means to count, number, or muster. This was not merely a bureaucratic exercise but a divinely commanded task, emphasizing the importance of order and organization within the community of God's people. It reflects God's concern for each individual and His sovereign oversight of the nation.

to the tribe of Benjamin
The "tribe of Benjamin" holds a unique 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 "Binyamin" means "son of the right hand," symbolizing strength and favor. Historically, the tribe of Benjamin was known for its fierce warriors and played a crucial role in Israel's military campaigns. This tribe's territory was strategically located, including the city of Jerusalem, which later became the capital of the united kingdom under King David.

numbered 35,400
The specific number "35,400" indicates the men of fighting age within the tribe of Benjamin at the time of the census. This precise count underscores the meticulous nature of the census and God's attention to detail. In the broader scriptural context, numbers often carry symbolic significance, representing completeness or divine order. The enumeration of the tribes served not only practical purposes for military organization but also reinforced the identity and unity of the people as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. The tribe of Benjamin, though smaller compared to others, was integral to the collective strength and mission of Israel.
