Contextual Overview

14And YHWH speaks to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 15"Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward—you number them." 16And Moses numbers them according to the command of YHWH, as he has been commanded. 17And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 18And these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei. 19And the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi; these are the families of the Levites, by the house of their fathers. 21Of Gershon—the family of the Libnite and the family of the Shimite; these are the families of the Gershonite. 22Their numbered ones, in number, every male from a son of a month and upward, their numbered ones [are] seven thousand and five hundred.23The families of the Gershonite encamp westward behind the Dwelling Place.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

from a month old: The males of all the other tribes were numbered from twenty years old and upwards; but, had the Levites been numbered in this way, they would not have been nearly equal in number to the first-born of the twelve tribes. Add to this, that as there must have been first-born of all ages in the other tribes, it was necessary that the Levites, who were to be their substitutes, should also be of all ages; and it appears to have been partly on this ground, that the Levites were numbered from a month old and upwards. Numbers 4:38-40

according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upwards: in the said families;

[even] those that were numbered of them, [were] seven thousand and five hundred; 7,500 men, which was neither the least nor the largest number of the sons of Levi.
