Numbers chapter 2

After reading chapter 2:

*This chapter explains how the twelve divisions of the Israelites were to set up camp. Three divisions each at the sites east, west, north and south of the tabernacle.

-In the eastern section, the leader would be the tribe of Judah. With them would camp the tribes of Issachar and Zebulun. When camp was broken, they would set out first.

-In the southern section, the leader would be the tribe of Reuben. With them would be the tribes of Simeon and Gad. When camp was broken, they would set out second.

-The tabernacle would be in the middle of the camp and the Levites would camp around it. They would set out in the same order in which they set up camp. We are not told what order that is.

-In the western section, the leader would be the tribe of Ephraim. With them would camp the tribes of Benjamin and Manasseh. They would set out third.

-In the northern section, the leader would be the tribe of Dan. With them would camp the tribes of Asher and Naphtali. When camp was broken, they would set out last.

The numbers from chapter one are repeated and tallied again. We are  told the Israelites did what God  told them.
