Why does the Torah write "ve'ha'Chonim lifnei ha'Mishkan" and not 'Yachanu' (in the command form [Sifsei Chachamim]):
Rashi: This hints 1 at the fact that Degel Machaneh Yehudah, who also encamped in the east, were neighbors of Moshe 2 - which explains why Yehudah, Yisachar and Zevulun were all great in Torah. 3
See Sifsei Chachamim.
Rashi: Based on the principle "Tov la'Tzadik, Tov li'Shecheino'.
Rashi: As we find in Tehilim, 60:9, in Divrei ha'Yamim 1, 12:33 and in Shoftim, 5:14, respectively.
Why is there a stroke between Moshe and Aharon and his sons?
Ba'al ha'Turim: To teach us that Moshe and Aharon and his sons encamped separately.
