(10)اور جنُوب کی طرف اپنے دَلوں کے مُطابِق رُوبن کی چھاؤنی کے جھنڈے کے لوگ ہوں اور شدِےُور کا بیٹا اِلیصُور بنی رُوبن کا سردار ہو۔
(11)اور اُس کے دَل کے لوگ جو شُمار کِئے گئے تھے وہ چھیالِیس ہزار پانچ سَو تھے۔
(12)اور اِن کے قریب شمعُو ن کے قبِیلہ کے لوگ ڈیرے ڈالیں اور صُوری شدّی کا بیٹا سلُومی ایل بنی شمعُون کا سردار ہو۔
(13)اور اُس کے دَل کے لوگ جو شُمار کِئے گئے تھے وہ اُنسٹھ ہزار تِین سَو تھے۔
(14)پِھر جد کا قبِیلہ ہو اور دعوایل کا بیٹا اِلیاسف بنی جد کا سردار ہو۔
(15)اور اُس کے دَل کے لوگ جو شُمار کِئے گئے تھے وہ پینتالِیس ہزار چھ سَو پچاس تھے۔
(16)سو جِتنے رُوبن کی چھاؤنی میں اپنے اپنے دَل کے مُطابِق گِنے گئے وہ ایک لاکھ اِکّاون ہزار چار سَو پچاس تھے ۔ کُوچ کے وقت دُوسری نَوبت اِن لوگوں کی ہو۔
My point of view about above verses
God told Moses in Mount Sinai after one year of their exodus / departure from Egypt to count all Israelite by tribes and encamp around tabernacle - As tabernacle was in middle - the twelve tribes of Israelite has to arrange themselves as East, West, South and north - God started from East side and tell tribe of Judah to encamp east side of tabernacle having a number of 74, 600 followed by two other tribes Issachar and Zebulun having numbers of 54, 400 and 57,400 respectively- So total number of Judah division is 186, 400 encamping towards east of tabernacle -
This division is first to move - God also tells the names of leaders who can lead their men-
Then God told for South side that tribe of Ruben having number of 46,500 followed by tribe of Simon and Gad with numbers of 59,300 and 45, 650 - so total number of Ruben division is 151,450 encamping towards south side of tabernacle
This division is 2nd to move - God also tells the names of leaders who can lead their men-
So God started the journey of Israelite from Egypt to Canaan in an organized manner and not like a mob
God tells them that how to organize themselves to achieve the goals - He is organized God and want us to organize our lives as per his laws
Let God give us wisdom to understand his word and apply it in our lives
