God's Guiding Presence
Commentators highlight that the ark "going before" Israel signifies God's active leadership. While another passage places the ark in the middle of the camp, scholars explain that "going before" is like a general leading his army—the guidance comes from God's presence, regardless of physical position. The ark's role in finding a "resting-place" shows that God Himself directs His people's journey and provides for their needs.
