TSK · Numbers 1:4

Moses chose capable men from all Israel, and he made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

These were the men whom Moses and Aaron numbered along with the twelve leaders of Israel, each of whom was from his own family.

Summary So Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the community numbered the Kohathites by their families and by clans,

“Send out men to investigate the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. You are to send one man from each ancestral tribe, each one a leader among them.”

God’s Punishment The LORD said to Moses,“Arrest all the leaders of the people, and hang them up before the LORD in broad daylight, so that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.”

You must take one leader from every tribe to assist in allocating the land as an inheritance.

He was accompanied by ten leaders, one from each of the Israelite tribes, each one a family leader among the Israelite clans.
