Gill's Exposition on Numbers 26:16
[See comments on Numbers 26:15]
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 26:16
Of Ozni, the family of the Oznites: of Eri, the family of the Erites: Ozni - or Ezdon (Genesis 46:16) [Septuagint, Azeni]. Eri - [Septuagint, Addi.]
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 26:16
Ozni, called Ezbon, .
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 26:16
5–51. The twelve secular tribes are numbered, the sacred tribe of Levi being omitted. The names are based upon Genesis 46:8-27, but with the addition of Ephraim and Manasseh, who, having been born in Egypt, could not be reckoned in Gen. among those who went down into Egypt. The total number at the first census, thirty-eight years before (ch. 1) was 603,550; now it Isaiah 601,730. The order of the tribes is the same, except that Manasseh (Numbers 26:29-34) precedes Ephraim (Numbers 26:35-37). Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Ephraim and Naphtali have decreased in numbers, while the other seven have increased. The impossibility of the figures is shewn in note on Numbers 1:46.
Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 26:16
16. Ozni is evidently a corruption of Ezbon (Genesis 46:16) by the accidental omission of beth in the first place, and the subsequent addition of a vowel at the end of the word.
