Commentary
4 notes on this verseThe leading standard, now lodged with that tribe, was an earnest of the sceptre which in David's time should be committed to it, and looked further to the captain of our salvation, of whom it was likewise foretold that unto him should the gathering of the people be.
This site's exposition
Nethaneel the son of Zuar
on Numbers 10:15-17
Issachar and Zebulun complete the east standard, and then the tent itself comes down. Gershon and Merari carry the structure directly behind Judah on the six wagons given them at Numbers 7:7-8, which puts the frame of the tabernacle six tribes ahead of the holy things it houses. Verse 21 gives the reason for that spacing.

The marching order is described (Nu 2:1-34); but, as the vast horde is represented here in actual migration, let us notice the extraordinary care that was taken for ensuring the safe conveyance of the holy things.
