‘These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses. All who were numbered of the camps according to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.'

Once again we have repeated the result of the numbering, six hundred 'lph, three 'lph five ‘hundreds' and fifty. This might then translate into 598 'lph (families/military leaders) and five 'eleph (military units) and five ‘hundreds' (smaller military units), and a fifty. This would tie in with the above figures given for the tribes, and would seem to be designed to agree with the amount of the silver in the Sanctuary (Exodus 38:25).
