Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
That a comparative view may be easily taken of the state of the tribes, we will here produce them, compared with that of the second census - Numbers 26:1, in their decreasing proportion, beginning with the greatest and proceeding to the least.
Tribe 1st Census 2nd Census
Judah 74,600 76,500
Dan 62,700 64,400
Simeon 59,300 22,200
Zebulun 57,400 60,500
Issachar 54,400 64,300
Naphtali 53,400 45,400
Reuben 46,500 43,730
Gad 45,650 40,500
Asher 41,500 53,400
Ephraim 40,500 32,500
Benjamin 35,400 45,600
Manasseh 32,200 52,700
Totals: 603,550 601,730
Thus we find Judah the most populous tribe, and Manasseh the least so; the difference between them being as great as 42,000. Jacob had given Judah the pre-eminence in his prophetic blessing; and that tribe was to have the precedency in the encampments of Israel: accordingly God had increased them more than any of their brethren. Ephraim and Manasseh, according to the same prophecy, were numbered as distinct tribes, Ephraim having the superiority, as it was foretold; and Joseph indeed appears "a fruitful bough." Numbers 2:10, Numbers 2:11, Numbers 26:7

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The enrollment, being taken principally for military purposes (compare Numbers 1:3, Numbers 1:20), would naturally be arranged by hundreds, fifties, etc. (cf. 2Ki 1:9, 2 Kings 1:11, 2 Kings 1:13). In eleven tribes the number enrolled consists of complete hundreds. The difference, in this respect, observable in the case of the tribe of Gad here Numbers 1:25, and of the tribe of Reuben at the later census Numbers 26:7, is probably to be accounted for by the pastoral, and consequently nomadic, habits of these tribes, which rendered it difficult to bring all their members together at once for a census. Judah already takes precedence of his brethren in point of numbers (compare Genesis 49:8 note), and Ephraim of Manasseh (compare Genesis 48:19-20).
