In the Hebrew context, "first" (רִאשׁוֹן, rishon) often denotes primacy and leadership. Judah's position as the leading tribe is significant, as it foreshadows the royal lineage of David and ultimately, Jesus Christ, who is referred to as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" (<a href="/revelation/5-5.htm">Revelation 5:5</a>). This precedence underscores God's sovereign choice and the fulfillment of His promises.<p><b>the divisions of the camp of Judah</b><br />The "divisions" (דֶּגֶל, degel) refer to the organized groups within the tribe, highlighting the structured and orderly nature of the Israelite encampment. Judah, meaning "praise" in Hebrew, was strategically placed at the forefront, symbolizing the importance of worship and praise in the journey of God's people. Historically, Judah's leadership role in the march reflects its future prominence in Israel's monarchy and spiritual heritage.<p><b>set out under their standard</b><br />The "standard" (דֶּגֶל, degel) was a banner or flag representing the tribe, serving as a rallying point and symbol of identity. In ancient cultures, standards were crucial for maintaining order and unity during travel or battle. For the Israelites, the standard of Judah would have been a constant reminder of their identity and mission as God's chosen people, moving forward in faith and obedience.<p><b>with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command</b><br />Nahshon, whose name means "enchanter" or "oracle," was a leader of the tribe of Judah. His lineage, as the son of Amminadab, places him within the genealogical line leading to King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ (<a href="/matthew/1-4.htm">Matthew 1:4</a>). Nahshon's leadership role in this context highlights the importance of godly leadership and the continuity of God's covenant promises through generations. Historically, Nahshon is recognized as a prince among his people, exemplifying faith and courage as the Israelites embarked on their journey to the Promised Land.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 14.</span> -
