The tabernacle or sacred tent of their Divine King, with the camp of the Levites around it (see on Nu 3:38), formed the center, as does the chief's in the encampment of all nomad people. In marching, this order was adhered to, with some necessary variations. Judah led the way, followed, it is most probable, by Issachar and Zebulun [Nu 10:14-16].
This site's exposition
The tribe of Simeon will camp next to it
on Numbers 2:12-13
Simeon musters 59,300 here and 22,200 at Numbers 26:14, the heaviest loss of any tribe in the book. Some readers find the cause in Zimri son of Salu, “the leader of a Simeonite family”, slain at Peor in Numbers 25:14.
This site's exposition
his division numbers 59,300
Simeon's 59,300 outnumber Reuben's 46,500, and Simeon still camps under Reuben's standard. John Calvin holds that only God's order could bring Simeon to accept that place. Matthew Henry expects Simeon to yield to his full brother.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And his host,.... That is, the host of Simeon: and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. 59,300 men; the same as in Num 1:23.
