a thousand: Leviticus 26:8, Judges 7:2, 1 Samuel 14:6
Reciprocal: Exodus 17:9 - Choose
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Of every tribe a thousand,.... So that the whole number of those that were armed were 12,000 as after given:
throughout all the tribes of Israel; this is observed, as Jarchi thinks, to comprehend the tribe of Levi, which in some cases was left out of the account:
shall ye send to the war; to fight with Midian.
