Numbers 1:19
"As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

As the Lord commanded Moses,.... In this Moses and David differed in numbering the people of Israel; the one did it by an express command from God, and in obedience

to it; the other without one, and against his will, Ch1 21:17 , so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai; where they now were when this order was given, Num 1:1 ; and from whence they removed the twentieth day of this month, Num 10:11 ; so that in less than three weeks time, perhaps much sooner, this affair was finished; and it may be, that the place of numbering them at this time is expressly observed, to distinguish it from another numbering of them, recorded in this book, which was done in the plains of Moab, Num 26:2 .
