Números 2
Wiersbe - When the motions of the pillar of cloud over the tabernacle announced that the camp would move, it would have been difficult if not impossible to break camp and start the march quickly and efficiently without some kind of order in the camp. "Let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Cor. 14:40) is an admonition for God's people in every age, "for God is not the author of confusion" (1 Cor 14:33). (The Bible Exposition Commentary – Pentateuch) Numbers 2:2 "The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance. BGT Numbers 2:2 ἄνθρωπος ἐχόμενος αὐτοῦ κατὰ τάγμα κατὰ σημέας κατ᾽ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν παρεμβαλέτωσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐναντίοι κύκλῳ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου παρεμβαλοῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ NET Numbers 2:2 "Every one of the Israelites must camp under his standard with the emblems of his family; they must camp at some distance around the tent of meeting. NLT Numbers 2:2 "When the Israelites set up camp, each tribe will be assigned its own area. The tribal divisions will camp beneath their family banners on all four sides of the Tabernacle, but at some distance from it. ESV Numbers 2:2 "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. NIV Numbers 2:2 "The Israelites are to camp around the Tent of Meeting some distance from it, each man under his standard with the banners of his family." KJV Numbers 2:2 Every 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. YLT Numbers 2:2 'Each by his standard, with ensigns of the house of their fathers, do the sons of Israel encamp; over-against round about the tent of meeting they encamp.' shall camp: Nu 2:3,10 1:52 10:14,18,22,25 the banners of their fathers' households: Isa 11:10-12 18:3 Zec 9:16 far off (KJV): Heb. over against, Jos 3:4 around the tent: Nu 1:50,53 Ps 76:11 Isa 12:6 Eze 43:7 1Co 14:33,40 Php 1:27 Col 2:19 Rev 4:2-5 Numbers 2 Resources - Multiples Sermons and Commentaries THE ARRANGEMENT OF ISRAEL'S CAMP GOD'S DIRECTIONS FOR CAMPING AND MARCHING Gene Getz - The opening chapters of Numbers focus primarily on organization and administration. The children of Israel were to worship according to the will of God, travel in an orderly fashion, and constantly stay ready for warfare. (Life Essentials) The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' households - God is not a God of confusion but order and here we see His instructions for the military encampment (they are not camping in a park!) and in Nu 10:14-25 He gives the order in which they are to march. Note that ONE standard identified each group of THREE tribes, thus there were four standards surrounding the Tabernacle (cf Ezekiel 1:10+, Rev 4:7+).
Números 2
Wiersbe - With the pillar of cloud hovering over the center of the camp by day and ablaze with fire at night (ED: SEE Shekinah glory cloud), and the tents of the various tribes arranged in their assigned places, the camp of Israel must have been an awesome sight. When the Prophet Balaam looked at the camp from the mountain heights, he said, "How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel! Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars beside the waters" (Nu 24:5-6NIV). (Bible Exposition Commentary – Pentateuch) NET Note on at a distance - The Hebrew expression מִנֶּגֶד (minneged) means “from before” or “opposite; facing” and “at some distance” or “away from the front of." The Israelites were camping as a military camp, each tribe with the standards and emblems of the family. The standard was the symbol fastened to the end of a pole and carried to battle. It served to rally the tribe to the battle. The Bible nowhere describes these, although the serpent emblem of Numbers 21:8–9+ may give a clue. But they probably did not have shapes of animals in view of the prohibition in the Decalogue. The standards may have been smaller for the families than the ones for the tribes. See further K. A. Kitchen, “Some Egyptian Background to the Old Testament,” TynBul 5 1960); and T. W. Mann, Divine Presence and Guidance in Israelite Tradition, 169–73. (The Egyptian army from approximately this same era camped in a similar defensive formation to protect the sacred objects that accompanied their field campaigns). Nelson Study Bible - None dared draw too close to the tabernacle, so that God's holiness might be maintained (see Isa. 6:1-5). In contrast, a person may come very close to Jesus. This is not because Jesus as God is any less holy, but because He has come so very near to us in order to save us. NLT Study Bible.The tribes camped around the sanctuary at a safe distance (cp. Josh 3:4 = "However, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2,000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before.”) that respected the gap between God's holiness and the non-Levitical tribes. Young's literal is "do the sons of Israel encamp; over-against round about" - The Lxx uses the word enantio which literally mean opposite or , over against the Tabernacle, Liddell-Scott adding the idea of " fronting, face to face." The point is that Jehovah as to be their FOCUS. THOUGHT - Does this not remind us of our charge in the NT (even as we too are always prepared for spiritual warfare) to keep " fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Heb 12:2+) Paul gives a similar command to "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. 3For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Col 3:2-3+) Life Application Study Bible - The nation of Israel was organized according to tribes for several reasons. (1) It was an effective way to manage and govern a large group. (2) It made dividing the Promised Land easier. (3) It was part of their culture and heritage (people were not known by a last name, but by their family, clan, and tribe). (4) It made it easier to keep detailed genealogies, and genealogies were the only way to prove membership in God's chosen nation. (5) It made travel much more efficient. The people followed the tribe's standard (a kind of flag) and thus stayed together and kept from getting lost.
Números 2
Wiersbe - Whenever the camp moved, the ark of the covenant went before, carried by the priests. Then the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun marched next, followed by the Gershonites and Merarites carrying the tabernacle proper (frames, curtains, coverings). Next came Reuben, Simeon, and Gad, followed by the Kohathites carrying the tabernacle furnishings. Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin were next, while Dan, Asher, and Naphtali brought up the rear. The largest number of soldiers (186,400) led the way and the next largest (157,600) were the rear guard.

Gilbrant - Elishama also was the father of Nun and the grandfather of Joshua, the leader of Israel who succeeded Moses (1 Chr. 7:26). During Israel's exodus from Egypt, Elishama was the head of his tribe and assisted Moses and Aaron as they conducted a census of the Hebrew community (Nu. 1:2-5, 10). When Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle (cf. Nu 7:1), Elishama represented his tribe in the offering of a gift on the seventh day of the tabernacle's dedication (cf. Nu 7:48-53). Later, as the Israelite community broke camp and left Sinai (cf. Nu 10:11-13), Elishama led his tribe (Nu 10:22).

His mother was Asenath, an Egyptian woman whose father was a priest in Heliopolis (On) (Gen. 41:50). The name means "cause to forget" and was given by Joseph because Manasseh's birth helped Joseph forget his family and hard times (Gen. 41:51). Jacob gave his firstborn blessing, however, to Ephraim whose descendants outstripped Manassah's (Gen. 48:19-20). Both became key tribes in northern Israel, and Jacob blessed both under Joseph's name (Gen. 49:22-26). Their fruitfulness and God's care for them are emphasized.

He was the son of Enan, the leader of the tribe of Naphtali. His name means "the (divine) kinsman is is a friend." The first mentioning of Ahira is in the context of taking a census of the people of his tribe, as each tribe supplies an individual to aid Moses in this endeavor who was "the head of the house of his fathers" (Nu 1:4). Part of the task of the leader was to organize the community of the tribe, evidenced in Nu 2:29, as the tribe was to encamp on the northern fringe of the wilderness camp, under the direction of Ahira. The tribe followed Ahira when moving (Nu 10:27). Finally, as representative of the tribe, Ahira offers the dedicatory offering of the tribe on the newly consecrated altar in the wilderness (Nu 7:78, 83).
