All the sons of Shuham
The phrase "All the sons of Shuham" refers to the descendants of Shuham, who was a son of Dan, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Hebrew root for "Shuham" is שׁוּחָם (Shuham), which is believed to mean "pit-digger" or "depression." This name may reflect the character or occupation of Shuham or his descendants. Historically, the tribe of Dan was known for its adventurous spirit and its role in the conquest of the Promised Land. The mention of "all the sons" emphasizes the collective identity and unity of the tribe, highlighting the importance of family and lineage in Israelite society.

numbered
The term "numbered" in this context is derived from the Hebrew word פָּקַד (paqad), which means to count, muster, or take account of. This census was part of a larger effort to organize the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. The act of numbering the people was not merely administrative; it was a divine command that underscored God's sovereignty and His intimate knowledge of His people. It also served as a reminder of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to multiply their descendants.

64,400
The specific number "64,400" represents the total count of the descendants of Shuham at the time of this census. This figure reflects the growth and prosperity of the tribe of Dan since the previous census recorded in the Book of Numbers. The increase in numbers is a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promise to make Israel a great nation. In a broader theological context, numbers in the Bible often carry symbolic significance, and large numbers can signify completeness or divine blessing. The precision of this count also underscores the historical reliability of the biblical narrative, as it provides a tangible connection to the real people and events of ancient Israel.
