“All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.”
And next to him shall encamp the tribe of Asher — Asher's placement in the northern encampment completes the western and northern tribal groupings. Asher's position supports Dan while the tribe occupies the northwest territories alongside Phoenicia, explaining Asher's later prosperity (Genesis 49:20) and potential foreign religious influence.
