“Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred.”
The registered men of the tribe of Ephraim were forty thousand five hundred — Ephraim's force (40,500), though smaller than some other tribes, is substantial and reflects Ephraim's status as the primary Josephic tribe. Ephraim's historical dominance in the northern kingdom is foreshadowed in the census enumeration.
