Gamaliel son of Pedahzur
Gamaliel, whose name means "God is my reward," is a leader within the Israelite community during their wilderness journey. His father, Pedahzur, is mentioned as a leader of the tribe of Manasseh, indicating a lineage of leadership. This reflects the importance of family heritage and tribal leadership in ancient Israel. The name Gamaliel is also associated with a prominent teacher in the New Testament, suggesting a continuity of respected leadership within Jewish tradition.

was over the division
The term "division" refers to the organized military and social structure of the Israelite camp. Each tribe was divided into groups for orderly movement and encampment. This organization was crucial for maintaining order among the large number of Israelites during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. It reflects the military-like precision required for their travels and battles, as seen in other parts of the Pentateuch.

of the tribe of Manasseh
Manasseh was one of the two sons of Joseph, and his tribe was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Manasseh was known for its significant size and strength, receiving a large portion of land on both sides of the Jordan River. This allocation of land is detailed in the book of Joshua. The tribe's role in the wilderness journey and later settlement in Canaan highlights the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. Manasseh's position in the camp and their leadership under Gamaliel underscores their importance in the collective identity and mission of Israel.

Obedience to God's Timing
The Israelites moved only when the cloud lifted. We should learn to wait on God's timing and not rush ahead with our plans.

Community and Leadership
Moses' leadership and the unity of the Israelites in following God's guidance highlight the importance of community and godly leadership in our spiritual journey.

Faith in Uncertainty
The Israelites' journey through the wilderness required faith in God's provision and protection. We are called to trust God even when the path is unclear.
