What happensPermalink
The arrangement of the tribes around the tabernacle while encamped. The marching order for the tribes when they move.
Why it mattersPermalink
The camp of Judah has pride of place (the east side of the tabernacle) and is first on the march, prefiguring its later prominence as the tribe of David and of Jesus.
Key versePermalink
“The people of Israel shall camp each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers’ houses. They shall camp facing the tent of meeting on every side.”
