Everything Wrong With Numbers 2 in the Bible

First I love how atheists are always talking about God.

As to the placement that's due to the order in which the tribes break camp. From a strategy perspective its sound as the largest tribe leads with the second largest tribe securing the rear. If each man was married and had two kids we're talking over 2 million people marching in a single column - 2:9 Also maybe the message of having order in your journey and movements when it come to the spiritual journey - the 38 years might represent - how easy one decision can have a profound impact on your relationship with God and have a negative impact on your spiritual journey.

As for the destination the 12 tribes represent 12 different spiritual paths that are all necessary to "travel/experience" in order to reach our own final destination - Kingdom of God. As this journey is a spiritual one and not a physical one there are no left-right directions.

May we discover our path and live up to it. And may that help us reach the time — at the end of days - when we will gain clarity as to who belongs to what tribe. King 12:3

This is where having faith comes into play and as atheists have no faith I get why those who don't believe get confused and are lost spiritually.

What's really wrong with Number 2 is an atheists trying to lead people on a spiritual journey based that's based on faith in God.

Everything is not always defined and or clarified. That's partly why we tend to learn both from our exposures and experiences!
