The people were numbered to show God's faithfulness in thus increasing the seed of Jacob, that they might be the better trained for the wars and conquest of Canaan, and to ascertain their families in order to the division of the land.

Let the believer be prepared to withstand the enemies of his soul, though all may appear to be peace.
