Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

The immense decrease of this tribe, no less than 37,100, renders it highly probable, that, influenced by the bad example of Zimri, the Simeonites had been peculiarly criminal in the late wickedness, and that multitudes of them had died of the plague. It is remarkable, that Moses, in Deut. 33, bestows no blessing upon this tribe. Numbers 1:22, Numbers 1:23, Numbers 2:12, Numbers 2:13

Reciprocal: Numbers 25:14 - the Simeonites 1 Chronicles 4:27 - like to Revelation 7:7 - Simeon
