The families. Translated “kindreds” in Ps. 22:27.

They that were numbered of them. The children of Reuben are nearly 3,000 less in number than they were 38 years previously (see ch. 1:21). The considerable decrease may have been due in part to the rebellion of Dathan and Abiram, who were Reubenites (ch. 16:1).
