During their journeys across the
wilderness, the twelve tribes formed encampments at the different places where they halted (
Ex. 16:13;
Num. 2:3). The diagram here given shows the position of the different tribes and the form of the encampment during the wanderings, according to
Num. 1:53; 2:2-31; 3:29, 35, 38; 10:13-28.
The area of the
camp would be in all about 3 square miles. After the
Hebrews entered
Palestine, the camps then spoken of were exclusively warlike (
Josh. 11:5, 7;
Judg. 5:19, 21; 7:1;
1 Sam. 29:1; 30:9, etc.).
I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
