the camps of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun, which lay to the east of the tabernacle, at the front of it; see ( Numbers 1:3 Numbers 1:5 Numbers 1:7 ) ; this was to be the token for their march, which was first of all; ( Numbers 10:14 ) .

Numbers 10:5 In-Context

3 cumque increpueris tubis congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium foederis tabernaculi

4 si semel clangueris venient ad te principes et capita multitudinis Israhel

5 sin autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam

6 in secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubae levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem et iuxta hunc modum reliqui facient ululantibus tubis in profectione

7 quando autem congregandus est populus simplex tubarum clangor erit et non concise ululabunt
