Numbers 2:10

The Tribes on the South

2:10 “On the south will be the divisions of the camp of Reuben under their standard. The leader of the people of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur.

Numbers 2:14

2:14 Next will be the tribe of Gad. The leader of the people of Gad is Eliasaph son of Deuel.

tn Here and throughout the line is literally “[under] the standard of the camp of Reuben…according to their divisions.”

tn The Hebrew text simply has “and the tribe of Gad.”

tc The Leningrad codex, upon which BHS is based, has “Reuel” here. In reading “Deuel” the translation presented above follows many medieval Hebrew manuscripts, Smr, and the Latin Vulgate. Cf. Num 1:14.
