The immense decrease of this tribe, no less than 37,100,
   renders it highly probable, that, influenced by the bad
   example of Zimri, the Simeonites had been peculiarly criminal
   in the late wickedness, and that multitudes of them had died
   of the plague.  It is remarkable, that Moses, in De ch. 33,
   bestows no blessing upon this tribe.
