His division
This phrase refers to the specific group or camp within the larger Israelite community. In the context of Numbers 2, the "division" pertains to the tribe of Issachar, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Hebrew word for "division" is "מַחֲנֶה" (machaneh), which can also mean camp or encampment. This term emphasizes the organized and structured nature of the Israelite community as they journeyed through the wilderness. Each division had a specific role and place, reflecting God's order and purpose for His people. Historically, this organization was crucial for maintaining order and unity among the Israelites, who were a large and diverse group.

numbers
The act of numbering or counting the people was a significant task in ancient Israel. The Hebrew root for "numbers" is "פָּקַד" (paqad), which can mean to count, muster, or appoint. This census was not merely for logistical purposes but also had spiritual significance. It demonstrated God's intimate knowledge and care for each individual within the community. In a broader biblical context, numbering the people often preceded significant events or movements, indicating preparation and readiness for what God was about to do.

54,400
This specific number represents the total count of men able to go to war from the tribe of Issachar. The precision of this number underscores the importance of each tribe's contribution to the collective strength of Israel. In the ancient Near Eastern context, such numbers were not only practical but also symbolic of God's blessing and provision. The tribe of Issachar, known for its wisdom and understanding of the times (1 Chronicles 12:32), played a crucial role in the spiritual and military life of Israel. The large number reflects God's promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5), showcasing the fulfillment of divine promises through the generations.
