Numbers

The arrangement of tribal camps (east is up):

Judah Issachar Zebulun

Naphtali Aaron Reuben

Asher Merari Tabernacle Kohath Simeon

Dan Gershon Gad

Benjamin Manasseh Ephraim

Cathedrals are also traditionally built cross-shaped, facing east, and sometimes with the altar at the crossing. I don't know whether the similarity is intentional.

Ch. 7 Offerings made by the tribal heads. Yes, all twelve paragraphs are the same except for the tribe and tribal head (which are the same as 1.1–16).

Ch. 8 An interesting passage which describes the dedication of the Levites as offerings to God in place of the firstborn (cf. 3.12, 40–51; and Exodus 13 before that).

Chs. 10–14 The Israelites go straight to Canaan, but do not enter.

Chs. 20–25 Wandering in the desert for 38 years; this section ends at the plains of Moab.

Ch. 26 For the second census (verses 1–51) see the table for Chapter 1. Note verse 65, the fulfillment of 14.30, 38.

Chs. 31–33 Some preliminary conquests east of the Jordan, and a summary of the whole journey.

The family tree of Levi:

	Judah	Issachar	Zebulun
Naphtali		Aaron		Reuben
Asher	Merari	Tabernacle	Kohath	Simeon
Dan		Gershon		Gad
