those registered
The Hebrew word used here is "פְּקוּדֵי" (pequdei), which refers to those who are counted or mustered. In the context of the Book of Numbers, this registration is not merely a census for demographic purposes but a divine mandate for organizing the Israelites for both religious and military functions. The act of registration signifies belonging and accountability within the covenant community of Israel. It underscores the importance of each individual in the collective mission of God's people.

to the tribe of Naphtali
The tribe of Naphtali is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob and the second son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. Historically, the tribe of Naphtali settled in a fertile region in the northern part of the Promised Land, which later became known for its beauty and abundance. The mention of Naphtali here connects the tribe to its patriarchal roots and highlights its role in the unfolding narrative of Israel's history. The tribe's inclusion in the census reflects its integral part in the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

numbered 53,400
The specific number, 53,400, indicates the size of the fighting men from the tribe of Naphtali at the time of this census. This figure is significant as it reflects the strength and potential of the tribe within the larger community of Israel. In the ancient Near Eastern context, numbers often symbolized completeness and divine order. The precision of this count demonstrates God's meticulous care and sovereign oversight over His people. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of each tribe's contribution to the collective mission of Israel as they journey towards the Promised Land.
