FIG 3.5B

The diagram of the position of the Israelites around the central Tabernacle during their journey, as detailed in Numbers 2:4, is in a quatrefoil with circles representing the locations of the twelve tents of the tribes of Israel around the periphery. The roundels are connected with colored lines to show relationships between locations and tribes. The twelve tribes are in circles connected with a blue line. There are four primary circles in the center of the diagram, which represent the four Levitic dynasties (clockwise from top: Kohathites, Gershonites, Merarites, Priests, with Moses and Aaron). The outer red quatrefoil, which holds four gold roundels, is labeled with the four cardinal points. MS Typ 216, Houghton Library, Harvard University.
