      1  The order of the tribes in their tents.
    
    
    VERSE 1
       * :1
    
    
    VERSE 2 
     - Every man.
      The Israelites, it appears, encamped in four grand divisions,
      with the tabernacle in the center; though at some distance
      from it.  The form of the camp was quadrangular, containing,
      according to Scheuchzer, a little more than twelve square
      miles.  Under each of the four divisions, three tribes were
      placed, under one general standard.  Between these four great
      camps and the tabernacle, were pitched four smaller camps of
      the priests and Levites, who were in immediate attendance
      upon it; the camp of Moses, and of Aaron and his sons, being
      on the east side of the tabernacle, where the entrance was.
      Judah was placed on the east, and under him he had Issachar
      and Zebulun; on the south was Reuben, and under him Simeon
      and Gad; on the west was Ephraim, and under him Manasseh and
      Benjamin; and Dan was on the north, and under him Asher and
      Naphtali.  Every tribe had its particular standard, probably
      with the name of the tribe embroidered with large letters.
      It seems highly improbable that the figures of animals should
      have been painted on them, as the Jewish writers assert; for
      even in after ages, when Vitellius wished to march through
      Judea, their great men besought him to march another way, as
      the law of the land did not permit images (such as were on
      the Roman standard) to be brought into it.  Josephus Ant. 1.
      xviii. c. 7.

      Reyher, who is followed by Scheuchzer, assigns the following
      space to the soldiers of each of the tribes, whilst remaining
      close to each other in their ranks, allowing one square cubit
      to each; but if we take in the arrangement, not only the
      soldiers, but the tents, the families, etc., a much larger
      extent of ground is requisite:
