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
Next will be the tribe of Benjamin
on Numbers 2:22-24
Benjamin closes the west camp at 35,400, so Rachel's line holds this standard entire. The camp totals 108,100, the smallest of the four, and it moves third. That sets the fewest men immediately behind the tabernacle, with the two heaviest camps at the head and at the rear.
This site's exposition
his division numbers 35,400
John Gill notes that Benjamin's 35,400 is the smallest host after Manasseh. Moses later calls Benjamin the beloved of the LORD, resting upon His shoulders, at Deuteronomy 33:12. The two smallest hosts share Ephraim's standard.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And his host, &c. That is, the host of Benjamin: and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. 35,400 men. The least number of all the tribes, excepting the tribe of Manasseh, Num 2:21; see Num 1:37.
