Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses, and unto Aaron,.... Very probably after the number of the children of Israel was taken, of which in the preceding chapter, and when the congregation of Israel with the tabernacle were about to set forward on their journey; and therefore directions are here given for their orderly and regular proceeding in it, in what form and manner they should both encamp and march;

saying: as follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER II

Moses commanded to teach the Israelites how they are to pitch

their tents, and erect the ensigns of their fathers' houses,

1, 2.

Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun, on the EAST, amounting to

186,400 men, 3-9.

Reuben, Simeon, and Gad, on the SOUTH, with 151,450

men, 10-16.

The Levites to be in the midst of the camp, 17.

Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin, on the WEST, with

108,100 men, 18-24.

Dan, Asher, and Naphtali, on the NORTH, with 157,600

men, 25-31.
