במדבר, פרק כ״ו, פסוק נ׳

The completion of the national census marks a defining moment in organizing the Israelites. The final tally of the tribe of Naphtali brings this extensive counting process to a close. Placing these specific families at the very end of the registry acts as a concluding seal, finalizing the family structure of the entire nation [חזקוני].

A broader look at the completed census reveals a total of fifty-seven distinct families among the Israelites, excluding the tribe of Levi. These families were organized and distributed across the four main banners of the national camp.

The southern banner contained sixteen families: four from Reuben, five from Simeon, and seven from Gad. The eastern banner held twelve families: five from Judah, four from Issachar, and three from Zebulun. The western banner included nineteen families: eight from Manasseh, four from Ephraim, and seven from Benjamin. Finally, the northern banner consisted of ten families: one from Dan, five from Asher, and four from Naphtali.
