To show that none of those men who were counted, save Joshua and Caleb, should come in to the land of Canaan, as God promised in
Numbers 14. 29. "Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were
numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
30. Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun."
The whole purpose of the book of Numbers is to record statistics. The entire book consists of two census or 'numberings' of the Israelites from which the book derives its name. God instructed these records to be carried out.
Numbers 1:44-47; 2:32- Census at Mount Sinai. Numbers 26:1, 2, 51-Census on the plains of Moab. 2 Samuel 24:1- David's illegal census.
In the first census taken by Moses, there were 603,550 men who were twenty years old or more (Numbers 1:45-46). In the second census in the book of Numbers, the total number of men of fighting age was 601,730 (Numbers 26:51). This shows a slight decrease in the total numbers between the two censuses.
The first census recorded in the Bible is found in the book of Numbers, in chapter 1. This census was taken by Moses at God's command to count the number of men over 20 years old among the Israelites following their exodus from Egypt.
The census numbers range from 101 to 2488. Cut away the last two digits, so they range from 1 to 24. Summarize the data within each of the 24 resulting groups. Take municipal groups and sort them by alphabet. Give them numbers, starting with 1 for ward A. Link the Census data by these numbers. You will find that the summarized population of Census data matches that for municipal wards. Greetings, Jana
It is alleged that leading up to Nigeria's independence, the British skewed the census numbers for the purpose of favoring the northern political elite and their interests. Nigeria declared independence in 1960.

Not at all. The census provides the government with information about its residents like: what's the average annual income, how many families are currently living below the poverty line, what's the percentage of Americans who graduate from high school, etc. It gives the government the numbers it needs so that different agencies can determine which laws work, which don't, what government agencies aren't doing their jobs, how many people are falling through the cracks, etc. It is definitely not the main purpose of the census. It isn't a purpose of the census at all.
The first census recorded in Numbers 1:2-4 - able bodied men from 20 years old and upward (able-bodied in that they could go to war). The second census recorded in Numbers 26:1-4 has the same criteria. A 'minor census' of those engaged in religious service around the Tabernacle and associated religious activities was taken as recorded in Numbers 4:34-44. This was of the families of Merrari, Gershom and Kohath.
Here Moses takes the first census of the young jews. So is the book named as Numbers.
