Contextual Overview

17 So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders, 18 and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day. All the people were registered according to their ancestry by their clans and families. The men of Israel who were twenty years old or older were listed one by one, 19 just as the Lord had commanded Moses. So Moses recorded their names in the wilderness of Sinai. 20This is the number of men twenty years old or older who were able to go to war, as their names were listed in the records of their clans and families:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses and Aaron took these men,.... They doubtless sent for them, and acquainted them with the nomination of them, by the Lord himself, for such a service; and they took them with them to the place where the number of the people was to be taken:

which are expressed by [their] names: in Numbers 1:16, and that as declared by the mouth of God himself.
