Contextual Overview

11 And so it came to pass in the second year, in the second month on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud lifted itself up, from off the habitation of the testimony; 12 and the sons of Israel set forward by their removals from the desert of Sinai, and then the cloud abode in the desert of Paran. 13 Thus then did they set forward for the first time, - at the bidding of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses. 14 So the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set forward first, by their hosts, and over his own host, was Nahshon, son of Amminadab; 15 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Nethanel, son of Zuar; 16 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, son of Helon. 17 Then was taken down the habitation, - and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the habitation. 18 Then set forward the standard of the camp of Reuben, by their hosts, - and over his own host, Elizur, son of Shedeur; 19 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai; 20 and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, son of Deuel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel,.... Or this was the order of them, as Jarchi; in this form and manner they marched, and a most wise, beautiful, and regular order it was; first the standard of Judah, a camp consisting of 186,400 able men fit for war, then followed the Gershonites and Merarites with six wagons carrying the heavier parts of the tabernacle; next to them the standard of the camp of Reuben, having in it 151,450 warlike men; next to them were the Kohathites, bearing the holy things of the sanctuary on their shoulders, who were followed by the standard of the camp of Ephraim, which was formed of 108,100 men fit for military service; and last of all the standard of the camp of Dan, which consisted of 157,600 men, able to bear arms, and which had under their care all that were not able which belonged to the other tribes; an emblem of the church of God in its militant state, walking according to the order of the Gospel, and in all the ordinances of it, which is a lovely sight to behold, Song of Solomon 6:4; thus they marched

according to their armies; ranged under their several standards:

when they set forward; in their journey through the wilderness; as now, so at all other times, this order was carefully observed by them.
