The "divisions of the camp of Dan" refers to the tribe of Dan, which was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. In Hebrew, "Dan" means "judge," reflecting the tribe's role in maintaining order. Historically, the tribe of Dan was known for its strength and resilience, often serving as a stabilizing force within the nation of Israel. The phrase "set out" signifies movement and obedience to God's command, as the Israelites journeyed through the wilderness.<p><b>under their banner</b><br />The "banner" represents identity and unity. In ancient times, banners were used as rallying points for tribes or military units, symbolizing their allegiance and purpose. Each tribe of Israel had its own banner, which helped maintain order during their travels. The banner of Dan would have been a visual reminder of their heritage and responsibilities. Spiritually, this can be seen as a call for believers to unite under the banner of Christ, who is our ultimate leader and guide.<p><b>serving as the rear guard for all the camps</b><br />The "rear guard" was a strategic position, providing protection from attacks that might come from behind. This role required vigilance and strength, as the rear guard ensured the safety of the entire community. In a spiritual sense, this can be seen as a metaphor for the protective role that God plays in the lives of believers, safeguarding them from unseen dangers. The tribe of Dan's position as the rear guard highlights their importance in the overall structure and security of the Israelite camp.<p><b>with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command</b><br />"Ahiezer" means "my brother is help," and "Ammishaddai" means "people of the Almighty" in Hebrew. These names reflect the deep spiritual heritage and reliance on God that characterized the leadership of the Israelites. Ahiezer's role as a leader underlines the importance of godly leadership in guiding and protecting the community. His lineage, being the son of Ammishaddai, suggests a legacy of faith and divine purpose. This serves as an inspiration for believers to seek leaders who are grounded in faith and committed to serving God's people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 25.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The rereward of all the camps.</span> Literally, "the collector," or "the gatherer, of all the camps." The word is applied by Isaiah to God himself (<a href="/isaiah/52-12.htm">Isaiah 52:12</a>; <a href="/isaiah/58-8.htm">Isaiah 58:8</a>) as to him that "gathereth the outcasts of Israel." Dan may have been the collector of all the camps simply in the sense that his host closed in all the others from behind, and in pitching completed the full number. Under any ordinary circumstances, however (see next note) the work of the rear-guard in collecting stragglers and in taking charge of such as had fainted by the way must have been arduous and important in the extreme. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/10-25.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Finally, the divisions</span><br /><span class="heb">לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם</span> <span class="translit">(lə·ṣiḇ·’ō·ṯām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun -
