   These persons, called "princes of the tribes," in ver. 22, and
   ch. 28:1, appear to have been civil rulers over their several

   mention of the tribes of Gad and Asher, probably because they
   were joined to the neighbouring tribes; or perhaps, the
   account of these has been lost from the register.
