Footnotes

  1. 28 The “standard” (דֶּגֶל, degel) was apparently some kind of a symbol put up on a pole to signify the tribal hosts. R. de Vaux thought it simply referred to a pole or a mast, but that would not distinguish tribes (Ancient Israel, 226–27).
  2. 29 Heb “carrying the sanctuary,” a metonymy of whole for parts, representing all the holy objects that were located in the sanctuary.
  3. 30 The verb is the third person plural form; without an expressed subject it is treated as a passive.
  4. 31 Heb “against their coming.”
  5. 32 The uses a word that actually means “assembler,” so these three tribes made up a strong rear force recognized as the assembler of all the tribes.
