1And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
3And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.
About Numbers 2: The Arrangement of the Camps
The Israelites are organized into four camps, with each tribe assigned a specific position around the Tabernacle.
Commentary
In Numbers chapter 2, the Lord instructs Moses to organize the Israelites into four camps, each with its own flag and leader. The four camps are the camp of Judah, the camp of Reuben, the camp of Ephraim, and the camp of Dan. Each camp is to be arranged in a specific order, with Judah in the lead, followed by Reuben, Ephraim, and Dan. This arrangement is to be maintained when the Israelites travel and when they go to battle.
