“Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the Lord had instructed them.”
When the Israelites set up camp, three tribes were on the north, three on the south and three on the east. Manasseh and Ephraim, the two half-tribes, along with the tribe of Benjamin camped on the west.
Gloriously significant is the fact that the tabernacle was in the center of the camp. The tribe of Levi, the priestly tribe, camped in a circle around the tabernacle.
