   Prof. Jonathan Grossman

   Why was the camp of Israel set up in the order described in Bemidbar? Why was the Mishkan positioned in the middle of the camp? Throughout their journey in the boundless and wild desert, the camp is organized in perfect and precise order. The tribal banners are adorned with the animals that carry the Divine Chariot, expressing the fact that the nation is a Chariot for the Shechina.
