“These are the families of the Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.”
These are the families of the Reubenites: and they who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty — Reuben's count in the second census is 43,730, compared to 46,500 in the first census (Numbers 1:21). The slight decrease reflects the wilderness mortality and the Peor plague's toll. Each tribe's adjusted count prepares for proportional land distribution.
