Question 3

Rashi Question:

Answer 3

Why does it say camped in singular when it was
all of BY so it should be in plural?

Rashi Answer:

Answer 4

The use of a singular ver here teaches us that
this time when BY came they did it all together in agreement,
compared to the other times BY camped they were very mentally
separated.
