Numbers 2:10, 14, 16
Numbers 2:10
The Tribes on the South
2:10 “On the south will be the divisions of the camp of Reuben under their standard. 1 The leader of the people of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur.
Numbers 2:14
2:14 Next will be 2 the tribe of Gad. The leader of the people of Gad is Eliasaph son of Deuel. 3Numbers 2:16
2:16 All those numbered of the camp of Reuben, according to their divisions, are 151,450. They will travel second.1 tn Here and throughout the line is literally “[under] the standard of the camp of Reuben…according to their divisions.”
2 tn The Hebrew text simply has “and the tribe of Gad.”
3 tc The Leningrad codex, upon which BHS is based, has “Reuel” here. In reading “Deuel” the translation presented above follows many medieval Hebrew manuscripts, Smr, and the Latin Vulgate. Cf. Num 1:14.
