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

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Those that were numbered of them,.... Of the two families that sprung from Gershon:

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 3:22. Seven thousand and five hundred — Perhaps originally resh, 200, instead of caph, 500; see the following note.
