1:1−46 Ровно через месяц после возведения скинии у горы Синай (Исх 40:17) Бог повелевает исчислить всех боеспособных мужчин в Израиле.
1:1 сказал Господь Моисею. Эта фраза встречается в книге Чисел более ста пятидесяти раз. Если к другим пророкам Бог обращался в видениях и снах, то с Моисеем Он разговаривал наяву (ср. 12:8). Из всех людей, живших на земле, только Христос обладал властью большей, нежели Моисей.

1:20−43 В этом отрывке приводится число боеспособных мужчин в каждом колене. Стихи следуют в строгой последовательности, повторяя каждый раз одну и ту же формулу исчисления. Перечень колен аналогичен ст. 1−15, кроме колена Гадова, которое здесь упомянуто третьим, а не одиннадцатым.
1:44−46 В этих стихах содержатся окончательные результаты переписи.
1:47−54 Как и во всех остальных главах книги, левиты здесь не исчисляются наряду с другими коленами; будучи отделенными, чтобы заботиться о скинии, они освобождались и от военной службы.
