Commentary on Numbers 1:32
Ephraim's census at 40,500 made it smaller than Manasseh's 32,200 (verse 35) at this time, yet Jacob's prophecy elevated Ephraim above his older brother (Genesis 48:19-20). This reversal of natural order—the younger superseding the elder—appears repeatedly in Scripture (Jacob over Esau, Joseph over his brothers, David over his brothers, Christ over Adam) to demonstrate that God's electing grace follows His sovereign choice rather than natural privilege or human expectation.
