SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:12
Y acamparán junto a él los de la tribu de Simeón; y el príncipe de los hijos de Simeón, Selumiel hijo de Zurisadai.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And those which pitch by him [shall be] the tribe of Simeon , etc.] Under his standard, and on one side of it; Reuben and Simeon being brothers by the mother as well as the father’s side, might well be thought to agree together; and Reuben being the eldest brother, and the eldest of all Jacob’s sons, Simeon would not grudge to pitch under him: and the captain of the children of Simeon [shall be] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai ; of whom (see Numbers 1:6 7:36).
Matthew Henry Commentary
The order of the tribes in their tents. --The tribes were to encamp about the tabernacle, which was to be in the midst of them. It was a token of God's gracious presence. Yet the were to pitch their tents afar off, in reverence to the sanctuary. The children of Israel put themselves in their posts, without murmuring of disputing; and as it was their safety, so it was their beauty. It is our duty and interest to be contented with the place allotted to us and to endeavour to occupy it in a proper manner, without envying of murmuring; without ambition or covetousness. Thus the gospel churc ought to be compact, according to the Scripture model, every on knowing and keeping his place; and then all that wish well to the church rejoice, beholding their order, Col 2:5 __________________________________________________________________
