Numbers 2:19
"And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And his host,.... That is, the host of Ephraim: and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred. 40,500 men. Not his camp, but his host,

or the army, which consisted only of his own tribe see Num 1:33 .
