 * Every man.
   The Israelites, it appears, encamped in four grand divisions,
   with the tabernacle in the centre; though at some distance
   from it.  The form of the camp was quadrangular, containing,
   according to Scheuchzer, a little more than twelve square
   miles.  Under each of the four divisions, three tribes were
   placed, under one general standard.  Between these four great
   camps and the tabernacle, were pitched four smaller camps of
   the priests and Levites, who were in immediate attendance
   upon it; the camp of Moses, and of Aaron and his sons, being
   on the east side of the tabernacle, where the entrance was.
   Judah was placed on the east, and under him he had Issachar
   and Zebulun; on the south was Reuben, and under him Simeon
   and Gad; on the west was Ephraim, and under him Manasseh and
   Benjamin; and Dan was on the north, and under him Asher and
   Naphtali.  Every tribe had its particular standard, probably
   with the name of the tribe embroidered with large letters.
   It seems highly improbable that the figures of animals should
   have been painted on them, as the Jewish writers assert; for
   even in after ages, when Vitellius wished to march through
   Judea, their great men besought him to march another way, as
   the law of the land did not permit images (such as were on
   the Roman standard) to be brought into it.  Josephus Ant. 1.
