His father, Pedahzur, is mentioned as a leader of the tribe of Manasseh, indicating a lineage of leadership. This reflects the importance of family heritage and tribal leadership in ancient Israel. The name Gamaliel is also associated with a prominent teacher in the New Testament, suggesting a continuity of respected leadership within Jewish tradition.<p><b>was over the division</b><br>The term "division" refers to the organized military and social structure of the Israelite camp. Each tribe was divided into groups for orderly movement and encampment. This organization was crucial for maintaining order among the large number of Israelites during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. It reflects the military-like precision required for their travels and battles, as seen in other parts of the Pentateuch.<p><b>of the tribe of Manasseh</b><br>Manasseh was one of the two sons of Joseph, and his tribe was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Manasseh was known for its significant size and strength, receiving a large portion of land on both sides of the Jordan River. This allocation of land is detailed in the book of Joshua. The tribe's role in the wilderness journey and later settlement in Canaan highlights the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. Manasseh's position in the camp and their leadership under Gamaliel underscores their importance in the collective identity and mission of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and through the wilderness.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence of God among the Israelites.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness_of_sinai.htm">Wilderness of Sinai</a></b><br>The desert region where the Israelites camped and received the law from God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/cloud.htm">Cloud</a></b><br>Represents the presence and guidance of God, which led the Israelites on their journey.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_guidance.htm">God's Guidance</a></b><br>Just as God guided the Israelites with a cloud, He provides guidance to us today through His Word and the Holy Spirit.
