Exegesis
The following sequence shenayim ushlošim elef umatayim {שְׁנַ֧יִם וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אֶ֖לֶף וּמָאתָֽיִם} employs the Hebrew numeral structure (unit + tens) × 1,000 + hundreds to yield 32,200. In translation, this order is adapted into English numerical convention (“thirty-two thousand and two hundred”), and the absence of an explicit verb in Hebrew is conveyed by introducing “were” to maintain grammatical cohesion.
In context — Numbers 2:21
And his division and their registered number were thirty-two thousand and two hundred.
