Footnotes

  1. 7 The sentence begins with a vav (ו) on a word that is not a finite verb, indicating a new section begins here. The verbal form is a participle with the article used substantivally, with the meaning “and/now those camping.” Many English versions employ a finite verb; cf. “on the east side … shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch.”
  2. 8 The two synonyms might seem to be tautological, but this is fairly common and therefore acceptable in Hebrew prose (cf. Exod 26:18; 38:13; etc.).
  3. 9 The sentence actually has “[those camping … are] the standard of the camp of Judah according to their divisions.”
  4. 10 Or “will be.”
