THE CAMP OF ISRAEL
God gave Moses instructions on how to set up the camps of Israel. At the center of the camp was the Temple (The Holy of Holies) which contained the Arc of the Covenant. The Camp was as follows; THE OUTER SETUP: Each grand division of Israel was composed of three tribes, and camped as follows: On the EAST
THE CAMP OF JUDAH, This comprised the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. Numbers 2: 2 – 10
On the SOUTH THE CAMP OF REUBEN, This comprised the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad. Numbers 2: 10 – 17
On the WEST THE CAMP OF EPHRAIM, This comprised the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Numbers 2: 18 – 28
On the NORTH THE CAMP OF DAN, This comprised the tribes of Dan, Naphtali, and Asher. Numbers 2: 25 – 29.
The Beauty of this set up was indeed remarkable at least. To truly understand the significance you would have to see the camp as God set it up. In the illustration below, you will surely see the significance of the Rose of Sharon. God's Plan for Israel was set in place from the beginning.
