This structured approach highlights the order and organization within the Israelite camp, reflecting God's instructions for worship and community life.<p><b>Nethanel son of Zuar</b><br>Nethanel is identified as the son of Zuar, emphasizing the importance of lineage and family heritage in Israelite society. Names often carried significant meaning, and Nethanel means "God has given," which may reflect the tribe's acknowledgment of God's provision. The mention of his father, Zuar, underscores the patriarchal structure of the society and the importance of family leadership.<p><b>the leader of Issachar</b><br>Issachar was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's ninth son by Leah.
