The Pulpit Commentary on Numbers 1:46

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Some thousands had died through the Divine displeasure, but, on the other hand, the natural mortality may have ceased. It was evidently in the purpose of God that all who crossed the Red Sea should also enter their promised land.
