Summary

In Numbers 2:29, the verse describes the position of the tribe of Naphtali in the camp of Israel as they journeyed through the wilderness. They were to camp on the west side, along with the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. This arrangement was part of the detailed instructions given by God to Moses for organizing the Israelites' camp around the tabernacle. Each tribe had a specific place and role to play in the community, reflecting order, unity, and divine guidance in their journey towards the Promised Land.
