Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children of Zebulun.

After him, the tribe of Zebulun, with Eliab, the son of Helon, as their chief.

and the tribe of Zebulun; the prince of the children of Zebulun being Eliab the son of Helon,

In the tribe of Zebulon, the leader was Eliab the son of Helon.

Tribus Zebulon, et princeps filiorum Zebulon, Eliab illius Helon.

Then the tribe of Zebulun,.... He pitched next; though the order of their encampment was not, as it may seem, first Judah, after him Issachar, and below him Zebulun; for Judah lay between these two, the one before him, and the other behind him; and it was Issachar that was behind, and Zebulun before, as Aben Ezra observes; they were pitched on each side of the standard of Judah, one on one side, and the other on the other side:
and Eliab, the son of Helon, shall be, captain of the children of Zebulun; see Numbers 1:9; each tribe had its own captain; nor does it appear that there was a general over those captains, that had the command of the camp, consisting of three tribes, but Moses was the generalissimo of all the camps.

Then the tribe of Zebulun--on the other side. While Judah's tribe was the most numerous, those of Issachar and Zebulun were also very numerous; so that the association of those three tribes formed a strong and imposing van.
