Contextual Overview
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 "Take vengeance on the Midianites for the children of Israel. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people." 3 So Moses spoke to the people, saying, "Arm some of yourselves for war, and let them go against the Midianites to take vengeance for the LORD on Midian. 4 A thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel you shall send to the war." 5 So there were recruited from the divisions of Israel one thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 6 Then Moses sent them to the war, one thousand from each tribe; he sent them to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy articles and the signal trumpets in his hand.

Of every tribe a thousand: Heb. A thousand of a tribe, a thousand of a tribe
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.
