“Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.”
Why did you tarry among the sheepfolds, to hear the piping for the flocks? Among the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. — The rebuke 'Why did you tarry among the sheepfolds' indicates that some tribes remained with pastoral obligations rather than answering the military summons. The repetition regarding 'divisions of Reuben' suggests tribal divisions about whether to participate.
