“But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.”
And those that were to encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron, and his sons — Moses, Aaron, and Aaron's sons occupy the eastern position, the place of greatest honor and responsibility. The eastern position places the priesthood in the primary direction, facing the sunrise, the direction of divine blessing.
