these are the names of the men that shall stand with you
on Numbers 1:5-16
Twelve princes are named to stand with Moses, one for each tribe. Levi is absent from the list and Ephraim and Manasseh are counted separately, which holds the number at twelve. Nahshon the son of Amminadab stands for Judah, and his name runs on into Ruth 4:20 and 1 Chronicles 2:10 and into the line of Christ at Matthew 1:4, where the King James spells it Naasson, while his sister Elisheba had married Aaron at Exodus 6:23. Gad's prince is Deuel here and Reuel at 2:14, which Adam Clarke lays to the likeness of the Hebrew letters daleth and resh, with 7:42 and 10:20 both reading Deuel.

The head of the tribe was a hereditary dignity, vested in the oldest son or some other to whom the right of primogeniture was transferred, and under whom were other inferior heads, also hereditary, among the different branches of the tribe.
