Camp and moving are center with the Lord

Numbers 2:1-34
The Israeltes are to camp around the Tent of Meeting some distnce (2000 肘)from it, each man under his banners of his family.
On the east are Judah, Issachar, Zebulun. Sons of Leah, 4-6 : 186,400
On the south are Reuben, Simeon, Gad.   Sons of Leah 1-2, 3 is son of  Leah's maidservant   : 151,450
On west are Ephraim, Manasseh, Benjamin. Sons of Rachel  : 108,100
On the north are Dan, Asher, Naphtali.   1,3 are sons of Rachel's maidservant and is son of  Leah's maidservant.   : 157,600
Tribe has maximun porpulation is Judah.
Why?
When the nation moved, the three eastern tribs, headed by Judah, led the way.
The standards/flags: Jewish tradition supplies the symbols: a lion for Judah, human head for Reuben, a ox for Ephraim, an eagle for Dan.
What is my symbol, my flag?
Keep distance for God is Holy, we should fear the Lord.
Banner is for march on to fight, banner is symbols of a team. Leading the way of direction.
Israelite has over 600,000 people, but it is organized, how beautiful and glory of the army of the Lord.
How?
Organize my staff, let the Lord be my center, my focus. All my moving and camp are around the Lord.
