The division of Ephraim is part of the larger military and organizational structure of the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. The number 35,400 indicates the men of fighting age, which reflects the tribe's strength and readiness for battle. This census was commanded by God to Moses and Aaron, emphasizing the importance of order and preparation in the community of Israel.<br><br>The tribe of Ephraim, descended from Joseph's younger son, held a significant position among the tribes of Israel. Ephraim was often associated with leadership and prominence, as seen in later biblical narratives where the tribe plays a central role in the history of Israel. The number 35,400, while specific to this context, also symbolizes the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to make his descendants numerous.<br><br>In the broader biblical narrative, the tribe of Ephraim is often linked with the northern kingdom of Israel, which later becomes a central focus in the prophetic books. The division's size and organization reflect God's provision and the fulfillment of His covenant promises, as well as the importance of unity and obedience among His people.<br><br>Theologically, the organization of the tribes and their numbers can be seen as a type of the Church, where each member has a role and place within the body of Christ. The meticulous recording of numbers and divisions underscores the value of each individual within the community of faith, pointing to the New Testament teaching that every believer is significant in the eyes of God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/tribe_of_benjamin.htm">Tribe of Benjamin</a></b><br>This verse refers to the tribe of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
