The order of the tribes in their tents.and his division Numbers 57,400. The phrase "and his division Numbers 57,400" refers to the military census of the tribe of Issachar as they prepared to set out from Mount Sinai. This census was part of a larger organizational structure commanded by God to Moses, ensuring that the Israelites were orderly and prepared for their journey to the Promised Land. The number 57,400 indicates the men of fighting age, typically those 20 years and older, who were able to serve in the army. In the context of the Israelite camp, each tribe had a specific role and position around the Tabernacle, which was central to their community both physically and spiritually. The tribe of Issachar was positioned on the east side of the Tabernacle, alongside the tribes of Judah and Zebulun, forming a larger division under the leadership of Judah. This positioning highlights the importance of Issachar within the camp, as the east side was considered a place of honor and leadership. Historically, the tribe of Issachar is known for its wisdom and understanding of the times, as noted in 1 Chronicles 12:32, where the men of Issachar are described as having "understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." This characteristic may have contributed to their significant number, as their insight and strategic thinking would be valuable in military and community leadership. Theologically, the organization and numbering of the tribes reflect God's order and sovereignty over His people. It underscores the importance of each tribe's contribution to the whole community, emphasizing unity and cooperation among the Israelites. The specific number, 57,400, also demonstrates God's provision and blessing, as the tribes had grown significantly since their time in Egypt, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars. In a broader biblical context, the census and organization of the tribes can be seen as a type of the Church, where each member has a role and function within the body of Christ, as described in 1 Corinthians 12. Just as the Israelites were organized for their journey to the Promised Land, believers are called to be organized and united in their journey of faith, each contributing to the mission of the Church.
