What is the center of the tribal arrangement?
Is the sequence of placing the tribes in this order the same as the census in chapter 1—and if not, (possibly) why?
Do the numbers here (Judah, for example) coincide with the numbers in the overall census of chapter 1?
Is there any dispute as to the placement of the groups around the Mishkan (Numbers 2:34)
