Whereas there were 35,400 in Num 1:23<\/span>. It is thought the example of Zimri, one of their princes, Num 25<\/span>, and some others among them, did infect the generality of the tribe, and so caused this great diminution in their numbers. <\/P> <\/p>\n [See comments on Nu 26:12]<\/span><\/p>\n (14) Twenty and two thousand and two hundred.<\/strong>This shows a decrease of 37,100 in the tribe of Simeon. Zimri, the chief offender in the matter of Baal-peor, belonged to this tribe, and, as in the case of the Reubenites, it is probable that he had led astray many of his tribe with him. It is remarkable that this is the only tribe on which, according to the present Hebrew text,[127] no blessing was pronounced by Moses (Deuteronomy 33<\/span>), and that in the allotment of the land of Canaan the inheritance of Simeon was only the remnant of that which was assigned to Judah (Jos. 19:9<\/span>).<\/p>\n [127] The Codex Alexandrinus inserts a clause: Let Simeon be many in number.<\/p>\n 14<\/strong>. <\/strong> Twenty and two thousand <\/strong> A decrease of thirty-seven thousand one hundred must be ascribed to some remarkable cause. Probably the bad example of Prince Zimri (Num 25:6<\/span>; Num 25:14<\/span>) had led many Simeonites into that licentiousness which was punished by the plague and by the slow wasting of venereal diseases.<\/p>\n The immense decrease of this tribe, no less than 37,100, renders it highly probable, that, influenced by the bad example of Zimri, the Simeonites had been peculiarly criminal in the late wickedness, and that multitudes of them had died of the plague. It is remarkable, that Moses, in Deut. 33, bestows no blessing upon this tribe. Num 1:22, Num 1:23, Num 2:12, Num 2:13 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 25:14 – the Simeonites 1Ch 4:27 – like to Rev 7:7 – Simeon<\/p>\n Num 26:14. Twenty-two thousand and two hundred No tribe decreased so much as Simeons. From fifty-nine thousand and three hundred it sunk to twenty-two thousand and two hundred, little more than a third of what it was. One whole family of that tribe (Ohad, mentioned Exo 6:15) was extinct in the wilderness. Some think most of the twenty-four thousand, cut off by the plague for the iniquity of Peor, were of that tribe. For Zimri, a ringleader in that iniquity, was a prince of that tribe. Simeon is not mentioned in Mosess blessing, Deuteronomy 33. And the lot of that tribe in Canaan was inconsiderable, only a canton out of Judahs lot, Jos 19:9.<\/p>\n These [are] the families of the Simeonites, twenty and two thousand and two hundred.
