“All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.”
And the tribe of Gad; and the leader of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Deuel — Gad's completion of the southern encampment places the tribe of warriors (known in later history for military prowess) in a position of strength supporting the overall camp structure. Gad's eastern settlement beyond the Jordan is foreshadowed in the camp arrangement, where Gad occupies a peripheral position.
