The Lord next instructed Moses about the tribes that would camp on the north side of the Tabernacle. The tribe of Dan was chosen to lead this final division. Although Judah led the entire nation when Israel traveled, Dan was given the responsibility of leading the northern camp. This arrangement showed that God distributed leadership among different tribes according to His plan. Every tribe had a place, a responsibility, and a purpose. By following God's instructions, the Israelites could travel together in peace, knowing exactly where they belonged within the camp.
History
Dan was one of the largest tribes during the wilderness journey. After the conquest of Canaan, the tribe later migrated north and established the city of Dan, which became the northern boundary of Israel.
