During their journeys across the wilderness, the twelve tribes formed encampments at the different places where they halted (Ex 16:13; Nu 2:3). The diagram here given shows the position of the different tribes and the form of the encampment during the wanderings, according to Nu 1:53; 2:2-31; 3:29,35,38; 10:13-28.
