Context

The Order of the Camps

³On the east side, toward the sunrise, the divisions of Judah are to camp under their standard: The leader of the descendants of Judah is Nahshon son of Amminadab,⁴and his division numbers 74,600.

Summary

Numbers 2:4 describes the arrangement of the camp of Judah during the Israelites' journey in the wilderness. The tribe of Judah was positioned on the east side of the tabernacle, along with Issachar and Zebulun. This strategic placement signified Judah's leadership role among the tribes, as they were the first to set out when the camp moved. Symbolically, this positioning foreshadowed the future significance of Judah in Israel's history, particularly in relation to the lineage of King David and Jesus Christ.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

And his host, and those that were numbered of them,.... As they had been before; and, supposing these words to be the words of God, there is no necessity of rendering them in the future, as some have observed; though they seem rather to be the words of Moses, who under every tribe repeats the number, which is exactly the same as when taken; and though it was not till twenty days after that they set forward according to their order of encampment, not one of them died, which Aben Ezra observes as a very wonderful thing: were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred; the number of the tribe of Judah were 74,600; see Num 1:27.
