[1] The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, [2] "The people of Israel shall
encamp each by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers' houses;
they shall encamp facing the tent of meeting on every side. [3] Those to
encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the
camp of Judah by their companies, the leader of the people of Judah being
Nahshon the son of Ammin'adab, [4] his host as numbered being seventy-four
thousand six hundred. [5] Those to encamp next to him shall be the tribe of
Is'sachar, the leader of the people of Is'sachar being Nethan'el the son of
Zu'ar, [6] his host as numbered being fifty-four thousand four hundred. [7]
Then the tribe of Zeb'ulun, the leader of the people of Zeb'ulun being
Eli'ab the son of Helon, [8] his host as numbered being fifty-seven
thousand four hundred. [9] The whole number of the camp of Judah, by their
companies, is a hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred. They shall
set out first on the march. [10] "On the south side shall be the standard
of the camp of Reuben by their companies, the leader of the people of
Reuben being Eli'zur the son of Shed'eur, [11] his host as numbered being
forty-six thousand five hundred. [12] And those to encamp next to him shall
be the tribe of Simeon, the leader of the people of Simeon being
Shelu'mi-el the son of Zurishad'dai, [13] his host as numbered being
fifty-nine thousand three hundred. [14] Then the tribe of Gad, the leader
of the people of Gad being Eli'asaph the son of Reu'el, [15] his host as
numbered being forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. [16] The whole
number of the camp of Reuben, by their companies, is a hundred and
fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty. They shall set out second. [17]
"Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in
the midst of the camps; as they encamp, so shall they set out, each in
position, standard by standard. [18] "On the west side shall be the
standard of the camp of E'phraim by their companies, the leader of the
people of E'phraim being Eli'shama the son of Ammi'hud, [19] his host as
numbered being forty thousand five hundred. [20] And next to him shall be
the tribe of Manas'seh, the leader of the people of Manas'seh being
Gama'liel the son of Pedah'zur, [21] his host as numbered being thirty-two
thousand two hundred. [22] Then the tribe of Benjamin, the leader of the
people of Benjamin being Abi'dan the son of Gideo'ni, [23] his host as
numbered being thirty-five thousand four hundred. [24] The whole number of
the camp of E'phraim, by their companies, is a hundred and eight thousand
one hundred. They shall set out third on the march. [25] "On the north side
shall be the standard of the camp of Dan by their companies, the leader of
the people of Dan being Ahi-e'zer the son of Ammishad'dai, [26] his host as
numbered being sixty-two thousand seven hundred. [27] And those to encamp
next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, the leader of the people of Asher
being Pa'giel the son of Ochran, [28] his host as numbered being forty-one
thousand five hundred. [29] Then the tribe of Naph'tali, the leader of the
people of Naph'tali being Ahi'ra the son of Enan, [30] his host as numbered
being fifty-three thousand four hundred. [31] The whole number of the camp
of Dan is a hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set
out last, standard by standard." [32] These are the people of Israel as
numbered by their fathers' houses; all in the camps who were numbered by
their companies were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
[33] But the Levites were not numbered among the people of Israel, as the
LORD commanded Moses. [34] Thus did the people of Israel. According to all
that the LORD commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so
they set out, every one in his family, according to his fathers' house.
