“The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.”
The clans of the sons of Kohath were to encamp on the south side of the tabernacle — Kohath's southern position places the clan in a prominent direction, reflecting the clan's responsibility for the most holy things. The south was traditionally considered a position of strength and honor in ancient Near Eastern thought.
