Numbers 10:14
Context10:14 The standard 2 of the camp of the Judahites set out first according to their companies, and over his company was Nahshon son of Amminadab.


[7:12] 1 sn The tribe of Judah is listed first. It seems that it had already achieved a place of prominence based on the patriarchal promise of the Messiahship in Judah (Gen 49:10).
[10:14] 2 sn 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).
