The tribe of Issachar will camp next to it
on Numbers 2:5-8
Issachar and Zebulun fill out the east camp, so the three tribes under Judah's standard are all sons of Leah. John Gill gives that shared house as the reason the two take their places under Judah without complaint.
This site's exposition
his division numbers 54,400
Issachar's 54,400 camp beside Judah on the east. John Calvin reads the whole arrangement as God's way of preventing quarrels over precedence among the tribes. Judah's companions were tribes that would accept his rule.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And his host,.... The host of Issachar: and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. 54,400 men. Which had been numbered, for it does not appear that there was a fresh account taken; see Num 1:29.
