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. ¹  The leader of the people of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur.

Numbers 2:14

2:14 Next will be ²  the tribe of Gad. The leader of the people of Gad is Eliasaph son of Deuel. ³ 

[2:10]  ¹ tn Here and throughout the line is literally “[under] the standard of the camp of Reuben…according to their divisions.”

[2:14]  ² tn The Hebrew text simply has “and the tribe of Gad.”

[2:14]  ³ 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.
