Exegesis
The cardinal sequence shnayim {שְׁנַ֧יִם | shə-nā-yim} ‘two’ + ve-shishim {וְשִׁשִּׁ֛ים | və-šish-shim} ‘and sixty’ precedes elef {אֶ֖לֶף | ʾê-lef} ‘thousand’, and u-sheva {וּשְׁבַ֥ע | u-šə-va} ‘and seven’ precedes meot {מֵאֽוֹת | mē-ot} ‘hundreds’, yielding (2 + 60) × 1,000 + (7 × 100) = 62,700. In English the topical subject (‘registered men’) appears first, followed by the tribal locator and the combined numerical expression, thus preserving Hebrew emphasis and structure.
In context — Numbers 1:39
Their counted ones for the tribe of Dan were sixty-two thousand seven hundred .
