Numbers 2
1. The order of the tribes in their tents.














The total number of men
This phrase indicates a census or counting, which was a common practice in ancient Israel for organizational and military purposes. The Hebrew word for "number" is "mispar," which implies an exact count, reflecting the order and structure God desired for His people. This counting underscores the importance of each individual within the community and the collective strength they represent.

in the camp of Ephraim
Ephraim was one of the tribes of Israel, descended from Joseph's son Ephraim. The tribe of Ephraim held a place of prominence among the tribes, often associated with leadership and strength. Historically, Ephraim was a dominant tribe in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The Hebrew root for Ephraim, "Ephrayim," means "fruitful," symbolizing the tribe's growth and prosperity.

is 108,100
This specific number reflects the precision and orderliness of the Israelite encampment. The large number signifies the strength and capability of the tribe, ready for both protection and battle. In a broader sense, it represents God's provision and blessing upon His people, ensuring they are numerous and prepared for the journey ahead.

they shall set out third
The order of setting out is significant, as it reflects the organized structure of the Israelite camp during their wilderness journey. The Hebrew word "shalach," meaning "to send" or "to set out," indicates a purposeful movement. Being third in line suggests a strategic placement, ensuring that Ephraim, with its strength and leadership, plays a crucial role in the community's progress and protection. This orderliness is a reflection of God's divine plan and the importance of obedience and structure in the life of His people.

Verse 24. - All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim. All the descendants of Rachel, forming at this time the smallest of the four divisions, although destined to become very numerous. Their association in the camp was continued in the promised land, for the greater part of their territory was coterminous. Subsequently, however, the great division of the kingdom separated Benjamin for ever from his brethren. In the third rank. Immediately behind the tabernacle. This position is clearly alluded to in Psalm 80:1, 2.
