Now, for the right settlement of this holy state, next to the institution of good laws was necessary the institution of good order; and account therefore must be taken of the subjects of this kingdom, which is done in this chapter, where we have, I. Orders given to Moses to number the people, <a class="bibleref" title="Num.1.1-Num.1.4" href="/passage/?search=Num.1.1-Num.1.4">Num. 1:1-4</a>. II. Persons nominated to assist him herein, <a class="bibleref" title="Num.1.5-Num.1.16" href="/passage/?search=Num.1.5-Num.1.16">Num. 1:5-16</a>. III. The particular number of each tribe, as it was given in to Moses, <a class="bibleref" title="Num.1.17-Num.1.43" href="/passage/?search=Num.1.17-Num.1.43">Num. 1:17-43</a>. IV. The sum total of all together, <a class="bibleref" title="Num.1.44-Num.1.46" href="/passage/?search=Num.1.44-Num.1.46">Num. 1:44-46</a>. V. An exception of the Levites, <a class="bibleref" title="Num.1.47-Num.1.54" href="/passage/?search=Num.1.47-Num.1.54">Num. 1:47-54</a></p>
