“Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab.”
From Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai — Simeon, the tribe that will later scatter among Israel (Genesis 49:5-7), appears second in the census. The naming of these leaders creates a permanent record of those commissioned to conduct the divine census, their names preserved in Torah as witnesses to Israel's formation as a military people.
