By their standards, <\/B>i.e. each of them under his principal standard. <\/P> <\/p>\nFuente: English Annotations on the Holy Bible by Matthew Poole<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses<\/strong>,…. Formed themselves into camps, so many tribes to a camp, and over each tribe or host appointed a captain, and erected a standard to each camp, by which they pitched as directed, which is next particularly observed:<\/p>\n so they pitched by their standards<\/strong>; every tribe, and every person in the tribe, as they were ranked, pitched by the standard to which they belonged:<\/p>\n and so they set forward, after their families according to the house of their fathers<\/strong>; the camps, and the tribes in them the families in those tribes, and the houses or lesser families under them, when they marched, proceeded in this regular order, as they did on the twentieth of this month; see Nu 10:11<\/span>.<\/p>\n ‘Thus did the children of Israel. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set forward, every one by their families, according to their fathers’ houses.’ <\/p>\n Again it is stressed that Israel did exactly as Yahweh had commanded Moses (compare for the phrase Exo 12:50<\/span>; Exo 16:34<\/span>; Exo 39:1<\/span>; Exo 39:5<\/span>; Exo 39:7<\/span>; Exo 39:21<\/span> and often; Lev 8:9<\/span>; Lev 8:13<\/span> and often; Lev 16:34<\/span>; Lev 24:23<\/span>). At this stage they were fully obedient. They encamped by their standards (or in their ranks), and that is how they set forward, every one by their ‘families’, and according to their clans\/tribes. <\/p>\n This emphasis reminds us that above all what God requires of us is obedience. As Jesus reminded us, it is no good saying ‘Lord’ Lord’, if we do not do the things that He says (Mat 7:21<\/span>). <\/p>\n Num 2:34<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>So they pitched<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> The order here enjoined was so regular, that the camp of Israel, seen at a distance, must necessarily have appeared very beautiful; and accordingly we find Balaam speaking of it as such. How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob! and thy tabernacles, O Israel! <\/em>&c. Num 24:5<\/span>; Num 24:25<\/span>. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS.<\/strong>When God himself settles the precedence; there is no room left for dispute among themselves. Those whom God honours, we may not envy. Judah leads the van, with Issachar and Zebulun, each under captains of their own tribes. Subordination in rank and station is God’s appointment, and must be observed. Judah was the tribe whence Shiloh was expected, and therefore justly preferred to lead the way to Canaan; as Christ his offspring was to be the captain of eternal salvation to his people. Reuben, who encamped on the south, followed next with Simeon and Gad. Levi encamped within, between the rest of the tribes and the tabernacle, and marched in the midst of them, defended before and behind. Of all things dear to us, the church of God should be the first, and best guarded; and her ministers especially respected. Ephraim, with Manasseh and Benjamin, encamped westward, and followed the tabernacle; whilst Dan, with Asher and Naphtali, encamped on the north, and in the march closed the rear; he, next to Judah, was most numerous, and therefore fittest for the post assigned. God’s dispositions are always wise, and just, and good. Obedience really and cheerful was paid to all these orders. God’s word must thus regulate our march, as God’s providence does our station; and when the one is cheerfully submitted to, and the other carefully followed, then we are sure of the divine blessing, and may go forth boldly, conquering and to conquer all our spiritual enemies. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/p>\n<\/p>\n SEE, my soul, thy God and Saviour is himself thy standard, ensign, and banner! Behold how he is lifted up to draw thee unto him! Lord give me grace and a discerning eye , to view thee in thy person character, and office as the standard of my Father’s house! Let me behold thee in thy faithfulness, in thy love, and in everything that may tend to endear thee to my heart. Let me see thee set forth in type, in all the Old Testament shadows; and realized in all the New Testament sub stance. And, O my God, give me power in thy strength, to fight under thy banner, against sin, death, and Satan, and all the enemies of my salvation. And dearest Jesus! do thou go before me through all the warfare, that I may feel in my own experience, that glorious promise of my God and Father fulfilled, wherein he saith, Behold I have given him for a witness, a leader, and commander to the people. Even so, Amen.<\/p>\n according: Num 1:54, Exo 39:42, Psa 119:6, Luk 1:6 <\/p>\n so they: Num 2:2, Num 10:28, Num 23:9, Num 23:10, Num 23:21, Num 24:2, Num 24:5, Num 24:6 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 1:52 – General Num 26:64 – General<\/p>\n Num 2:34. So they pitched by their standards Their order was so beautiful, that when Balaam beheld the camp of Israel from an eminence, he exclaimed with admiration, How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob! thy tabernacles, O Israel! As valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the rivers side? Num 24:5-6.<\/p>\n 2:34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their {i} standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.<\/p>\n (i) For under every one of the four principal standards, were various signs to keep every band.<\/p>\n And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers. By their standards, i.e. each of them under his principal standard.
