"Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war." — Numbers 31:4 (ASV)
Of every tribe a thousand So that the whole number of those that were armed were 12,000 as after given:
throughout all the tribes of Israel ; this is observed, as Jarchi thinks, to comprehend the tribe of Levi, which in some cases was left out of the account:
shall you send to the war ; to fight with Midian.
