Contextual Overview

14 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, in the desert of Sinai, saying: - 15 Number thou the sons of Levi, by their ancestral houses, by their families, - every male, from one month old and upwards, shalt thou number them. 16 So then Moses numbered them according to the bidding of Yahweh, - as he was commanded. 17 And these were the sons of Levi, by their names, - Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 18 And these, the names of the sons of Gershon by their families, - Libni and Shimei. 19 And, the sons of Kohath, by their families Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. 20 And the sons of Merari by their families, Mahli and Mushi. These, are they - the families of the Levites by their ancestral houses. 21 To, Gershon, belonged the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites, - these, are they - the families of the Gershonites. 22 They who were numbered of them in the counting of every male, from one month old, and upwards, - they who were num-bered of them, were seven thousand and five hundred. 23 the families of the Gershonites, to the rear of the habitation, were to encamp, westward.

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

Reciprocal: Numbers 3:15 - General Numbers 3:39 - and Aaron Numbers 4:44 - General Joshua 21:6 - General

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.
