• It was all of God, and He puts Judah first. Doubtless the meaning to us is that what should principally characterize His saints, His redeemed ones, those whom He has gathered around Himself, is praise. Judah means praise; and their most marked feature should be praise. “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me.” (“Chapter 2.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)

• The word was, “when ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward” (vs. 5). That was the standard of Judah, the one that went first. (“Chapter 10” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)

• Now this is their first journey from Sinai. We must ever remember that every name has a significance, and is chosen by God. There are thirty-six names in all here, and I have no doubt whatever they are thirty-six links in one grand chain; even if we only take the twelve principal links, the twelve tribes of Israel, leaving the twenty four minor ones. (“Chapter 10” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)

• Judah means “praise,” and that ought to be the most marked characteristic of the saint of God. “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me,” and that is the privilege that belongs to us. That is why the saints are gathered together by God in this world, that we “may with one mind and one mouth glorify God.” “Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us, to the glory of God” (Rom. 15:6, 7). God would have us a praising people. In the beginning of Psalms 40. the Lord Jesus is the Speaker. “In waiting I waited”... “He hath put a new song in my mouth;” in all that the Lord is the Speaker. Then the saints come in at once with Him; “Even praise unto our God.” Because of what He has accomplished we have a redemption song put into our mouths; and Psalms 22:22, shows us the Lord Himself is the Leader of our praises. He is that now. (“Chapter 10” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
