Commentary on Numbers 2:25

Theological / Devotional

Camp of Dan. Dan was the son of Jacob and Bilhah (Gen. 30:6; 35:25). The meaning of the name is “judge.” Its verb root means “to judge,” “to act as a judge.” The equivalent Arabic root means “to be obedient,” “to be submissive,” also “to govern,” “to recompense.” The exalted position of Dan in the circumstances of this verse is in great contrast to the depths to which he afterward fell; for he settled among the heathen, dropped out of the sacred account, and finds no part among the 12 tribes of the New Jerusalem (see Judges 18; Rev. 7:5-8).
