Komentaryo sa Mga Bilang 2:17: Rashi, Sforno, Rashbam & Siftei Chakhamim

וְנָסַ֧ע אֹֽהֶל־מוֹעֵ֛ד מַחֲנֵ֥ה הַלְוִיִּ֖ם בְּת֣וֹךְ הַֽמַּחֲנֹ֑ת כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר יַחֲנוּ֙ כֵּ֣ן יִסָּ֔עוּ אִ֥ישׁ עַל־יָד֖וֹ לְדִגְלֵיהֶֽם׃ (ס)

At ang Tolda ng Pagtitipon, kasama ang kampo ng mga Levita, ay maglalakbay sa gitna ng mga kampo; kung paano sila nagkakampo, gayundin sila maglalakbay, bawat isa sa kanyang lugar, ayon sa kanilang mga watawat.

Rashi

כאשר יחנו כן יסעו AS THEY ENCAMP SO SHALL THEY JOURNEY — just as I have explained (v. 9): their positions when marching shall be the same as when encamping — each division marches on that side that is assigned to it.

Rashi

על ידו means, in his place. The term יד does not even in this sense lose its original meaning, viz., that of “hand’’ — the area at one’s side is termed על ידו “that which is by his hand”, being that which is closest to him, and always within the reach of his hand (and not beyond it); en son aise in O. F.
