Ibn Ezra on Numbers 2:5/אבן עזרא על במדבר ב׳:ה׳
אוהחונים עליו. כמו עמו והם אחריו וקודם השלישי:
1AND THOSE THAT PITCH NEXT UNTO HIM. Ve-hachonim alav means those that pitch with him.13 literally means on him. Thus the literal meaning of ve-hachonim alav (and those that pitch next unto him) is, and those that pitch upon him. Hence I.E.’s comment that alav means with him. Issachar was behind Judah and in front of Zebulun who was third.
