Numbers 2:2
英文原文
standard ... ensign - The "standard" marked the division, or camp (cf. Numbers 1:9, Numbers 1:16, Numbers 1:24, Numbers 1:31); the "ensign" the family. There would thus be four "standards" only, one for each "camp" of three tribes. The "standard" was probably a solid figure or emblem mounted on a pole, such as the Egyptians used. Tradition appropriates the four cherubic forms (Ezekiel 1:5-12; Revelation 4:7 ff), the lion, man, ox, and eagle, to the camps of Judah, Reuben, Ephraim, and Dan respectively; and this, as to the first, has a certain support from Genesis 49:9 (compare Revelation 5:5), and as to the third, from Deuteronomy 33:17.
Far off - See the margin, over against; i. e. facing the tabernacle on every side. The distance was perhaps 2,000 cubits or rather more than 14 mile: compare Joshua 3:4.

Numbers 2:14
流珥——这无疑是 Numbers 1:14 中"丢珥"一名在抄写过程中产生的讹误。
英文原文
Reuel - Doubtless an error of transcription for Deuel Numbers 1:14.

Numbers 2:33
这就是旷野中营阵的理想形态：这形态后来再现于最终环绕圣殿的四方形院子，也再现于以西结所见天上之城的异象（Ezekiel 48:20），以及约翰所见的异象（Revelation 21:16；请参 Revelation 20:9）。如此，神地上子民的营盘是照着神的命令布置的，为要彰显他教会的完全，并借着那由居中帐幕所决定的整个布局，既表明一切都有赖于神，也表明人人都享有来到神面前的通路。
英文原文
Such was the ideal form of the encampment in the wilderness: a form reproduced in the square court with which the temple was eventually surrounded, and in the vision of the heavenly city as seen by Ezekiel EZechariah 48:20, and by John (Revelation 21:16; compare Revelation 20:9). Thus the camp of God's earthly people was divinely ordered so as to set forth the completeness of His Church; and to illustrate by its whole arrangement, which was determined by the tabernacle in the center, both the dependance of all on God, and the access which all enjoyed to God.
“纛……旗号”——“纛”标明大队，即营（参 Numbers 1:9、Numbers 1:16、Numbers 1:24、Numbers 1:31）；“旗号”则标明家族。这样，“纛”总共只有四面，每三个支派组成的“营”各有一面。“纛”大概是安在杆上的立体形像或徽记，类似埃及人所用的。传统将四个基路伯的形像（Ezekiel 1:5-12；Revelation 4:7及以下）——狮子、人、牛、鹰——分别归于犹大、流便、以法莲、但四个营；这一说法就第一项而言，从 Genesis 49:9 得到某种支持（参 Revelation 5:5），就第三项而言，则得自 Deuteronomy 33:17。
“相隔远处”——见旁注所载“相对”，即在会幕四面正对着它安营。这距离大概是二千肘，即略多于四分之一英里：参 Joshua 3:4。
