These were the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest
These were the ones counted
This phrase refers to the census taken by Moses and Eleazar, which is a significant event in the history of Israel. The Hebrew root for "counted" is "paqad," which means to number, visit, or appoint. This census was not merely a statistical exercise but a divine appointment, ensuring that each tribe and family was accounted for in preparation for entering the Promised Land. It underscores God's meticulous care and order in the governance of His people, reflecting His sovereignty and the importance of each individual within the community.

by Moses and Eleazar the priest
Moses, the great leader and prophet, and Eleazar, the high priest, were divinely appointed leaders of Israel. Moses represents the law and leadership, while Eleazar, the son of Aaron, represents the priesthood and spiritual guidance. Their joint effort in conducting the census highlights the collaboration between civil and religious leadership in Israel. Historically, this partnership underscores the theocratic nature of Israel's governance, where spiritual and temporal matters were intertwined. It also reflects the continuity of leadership, as Eleazar steps into the role previously held by his father, Aaron, ensuring that the priestly duties and responsibilities are maintained.

on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho
This geographical reference is significant as it situates the Israelites on the brink of entering the Promised Land. The plains of Moab, located east of the Jordan River, were the final staging ground before crossing into Canaan. This location is rich in historical and theological significance, as it represents a place of transition and preparation. The mention of Jericho, a city known for its fortified walls, foreshadows the challenges and victories that lie ahead for the Israelites. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in bringing His people to the threshold of their inheritance, despite the trials and wanderings in the wilderness.
