Contextual Overview

1 God spoke to Moses: "Avenge the People of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you will go to be with your dead ancestors." 3Moses addressed the people: "Recruit men for a campaign against Midian, to exact God 's vengeance on Midian, a thousand from each tribe of Israel to go to war." 5A fighting force of a thousand from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand in all—was recruited. Moses sent them off to war, a thousand from each tribe, and also Phinehas son of Eleazar, who went as priest to the army, in charge of holy vessels and the signaling bugles.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Of every tribe a thousand: Heb. A thousand of a tribe, a thousand of a tribe

a thousand: Leviticus 26:8, Judges 7:2, 1 Samuel 14:6

Reciprocal: Exodus 17:9 - Choose

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Of every tribe a thousand,.... So that the whole number of those that were armed were 12,000 as after given:

throughout all the tribes of Israel; this is observed, as Jarchi thinks, to comprehend the tribe of Levi, which in some cases was left out of the account:

shall ye send to the war; to fight with Midian.
