Of the tribe of Judah  The tribes are not set down here in the same order that was observed at their first and second numbering, (Num 1:5-7; Num 26:5,) but according to the situation in which they were afterward placed in the land of Canaan; as if Moses had foreseen what tribes should be next neighbours one to another. And as, when they encamped, they were placed according to their brotherhood, so, in inheriting the land, we see a similar order observed: Judah and Simeon, both sons of Leah, dwelt by one another: next, Benjamin of Rachel, and Dan of Rachels maid: Manasseh and Ephraim, both sons of Joseph, had the next place: Zebulon and Issachar, who dwelt next together, were both sons of Leah: and the last pair were Asher of Leahs maid, and Naphtali of Rachels maid. Here, therefore, we have an evident proof of the wisdom of Gods providence, and of his peculiar care of his people.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Joseph Bensons Commentary on the Old and New Testaments<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the names of the men [are] these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
