Only Caleb and Joshua Remain

But among all these
This phrase sets the stage for a significant observation. The Hebrew word for "among" (בְּתוֹךְ, betokh) implies a thorough examination within a group. The context here is a new census of the Israelites, highlighting a transition from the old generation to the new. This phrase invites reflection on the continuity and change within God's people, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness across generations.

there was not one
The Hebrew word for "not one" (אִישׁ, ish) underscores the totality of the statement. It is a stark reminder of the consequences of disobedience and unbelief. Historically, this refers to the previous generation that perished in the wilderness due to their lack of faith, as decreed by God. This serves as a sobering lesson on the importance of trust and obedience to God's commands.

of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest
The act of numbering, or taking a census, was a significant event in Israel's history. The Hebrew root for "numbered" (פָּקַד, paqad) can also mean to visit or appoint, indicating a divine purpose behind the census. Moses and Aaron, as leaders, were responsible for this task, symbolizing their roles in guiding and shepherding the people. This highlights the importance of godly leadership and accountability in the community of faith.

when they counted the Israelites
The counting of the Israelites was not merely a logistical exercise but a spiritual one. It was a moment of reckoning and reflection on the nation's identity and mission. The Hebrew term for "counted" (סָפַר, saphar) also means to recount or declare, suggesting that this was a declaration of God's faithfulness and the people's covenant relationship with Him. It reminds believers of the importance of remembering and declaring God's works in their lives.

in the Wilderness of Sinai
The Wilderness of Sinai is a place of both testing and revelation. It was here that the Israelites received the Law and experienced God's presence. The wilderness represents a place of transformation, where God prepares His people for the Promised Land. This phrase calls believers to embrace their own wilderness experiences as opportunities for growth and deeper reliance on God.

(64) But among these . . . --Thus the prediction contained in Numbers 14:29-32 was fulfilled. The fact that the fulfilment of this prediction is stated after Numbers 26:62, which contains the result of the census as regards the Levites, viewed in connection with the statement contained in Numbers 26:65, might seem to favour the inference that the sentence of exclusion was applicable to the tribe of Levi as well as to the other tribes. On the other hand, the second clause of Numbers 26:62 may be alleged in support of the opposite view. (See Numbers 14:29, and Note.)

When they numbered . . . --Or, who numbered, as in Numbers 26:63. . . .
