Berean Study Bible

The tribe of Judah
The name "Judah" comes from the Hebrew "Yehudah," meaning "praise." Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, and his tribe became one of the most prominent in Israel. Historically, Judah's tribe was known for its leadership and strength, eventually giving rise to the Davidic line and, ultimately, to Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" (Revelation 5:5). This positioning of Judah in the camp signifies its preeminence and foreshadows its future role in Israel's history.

will camp next to them
The arrangement of the Israelite camp was divinely ordained, with each tribe having a specific place around the Tabernacle. This order reflects God's desire for structure and harmony among His people. The phrase "next to them" indicates proximity and relationship, suggesting that Judah's position was strategic for protection and leadership. This arrangement also symbolizes the unity and interdependence of the tribes, each contributing to the community's overall strength and purpose.

The leader of the people of Judah
Leadership in the tribe of Judah was significant, as it set the tone for the rest of the nation. The Hebrew word for "leader" here is "nasi," which implies a prince or chief, someone who carries the responsibility of guiding and protecting the people. This role was not just administrative but also spiritual, as leaders were expected to uphold God's laws and lead by example.

is Nahshon son of Amminadab
Nahshon, whose name means "enchanter" or "oracle," was a prominent figure in the tribe of Judah. He is noted in the genealogies of Jesus (Matthew 1:4, Luke 3:32), highlighting his importance in the messianic line. As the son of Amminadab, Nahshon belonged to a family of distinction. Amminadab's name means "my kinsman is noble," suggesting a heritage of honor and leadership. Nahshon's role as leader during the wilderness journey underscores the continuity of God's promises through generations, as well as the importance of faithful leadership in fulfilling divine purposes.
