1. The order of the tribes in their tents.














His division
This phrase refers to the specific group or camp within the larger Israelite community. In the context of Numbers 2, the Israelites are organized into divisions by tribes, each with its own leader and banner. The Hebrew word for "division" is "דֶּגֶל" (degel), which can also mean "standard" or "banner." This indicates a sense of identity and unity within the tribe, as each division would rally under its own banner. Historically, this organization reflects the military and communal structure necessary for the Israelites as they journeyed through the wilderness, emphasizing order and discipline.

numbers
The act of numbering or counting is significant in the Book of Numbers, as it reflects God's command to take a census of the people. The Hebrew root "פָּקַד" (paqad) means to count, muster, or appoint. This counting is not merely a logistical exercise but a divine mandate that underscores God's intimate knowledge and care for His people. It also serves to prepare the Israelites for the challenges ahead, ensuring that each tribe knows its strength and responsibilities.

74,600
This specific number represents the men of war from the tribe of Judah, as detailed in the surrounding verses. The precision of this number highlights the importance of each individual within the community and the collective strength of the tribe. Judah, being the largest tribe, plays a significant role in the formation and movement of the Israelite camp. Historically, Judah's prominence foreshadows its future leadership role, as it is the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ would come. The large number signifies God's blessing and the fulfillment of His promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars.
