“And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.”
Then the standard of the camp of Reuben set out, company by company; and over the whole company was Elizur son of Shedeur — the second division (the south camp from ch.2), headed by Reuben and led by Elizur, departs after the tabernacle. Reuben, though firstborn to Jacob, marches second, embodying the disruption of natural primacy caused by covenant violation.
