Clarke's Numbers 1:33 Bible Commentary

The tribe of Ephraim - forty thousand and five hundred - Ephraim, as he was blessed beyond his eldest brother Manasseh, Genesis 48:20, so here he is increased by thousands more than Manasseh, and more than the whole tribe of Benjamin, and his blessing continued above his brother, Deuteronomy 33:17. And thus the prophecy, Genesis 48:19, was fulfilled: His younger brother (Ephraim) shall be greater than he, (Manasseh). No word of God can possibly fall to the ground: he alone sees the end from the beginning; his infinite wisdom embraces all occurrences, and it is his province alone to determine what is right, and to predict what himself has purposed to accomplish.

Wesley's Numbers 1:33 Bible Commentary

1:33 Ephraim - Above 8000 more than Manasseh, towards the accomplishment of that promise, Genesis 48:20 , which the devil in vain attempted to defeat by stirring up the men of Gath against them, 7:21 ,22.
