Num 1:24  Of the sons of Gad, referencing their historical lineage,, by their clans, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go to war:
Num 1:25  those mustered of the tribe of Gad were 45,650.

God has added

Gad’s general was Elyasaph (God has added – from the same Hebrew root as the name, Joseph). The young and old men who followed him into battle were reminded that when God is with you, your numbers do no matter. God can always make up for your lack of numbers by his miraculous power.

LORD, remind us that whatever we do, your power to help us far supersedes our capacity to do it for you.
