Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Then the tribe of Benjamin,.... He was to pitch under the same standard of Ephraim, and the other side of it from that of Manasseh; the one being before, and

the other behind, and the standard in the middle; See Gill on Num 2:7 , and the captains of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni; of whom see Num 1:11 .
