[1] And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, [2] The children of Israel are to
put up their tents in the order of their families, by the flags of their
fathers' houses, facing the Tent of meeting on every side. [3] Those whose
tents are on the east side, looking to the dawn, will be round the flag of
the children of Judah, with Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, as their chief.
[4] The number of his army was seventy-four thousand, six hundred. [5] And
nearest to him will be the tribe of Issachar, with Nethanel, the son of
Zuar, as their chief. [6] The number of his army was fifty-four thousand,
four hundred. [7] After him, the tribe of Zebulun, with Eliab, the son of
Helon, as their chief. [8] The number of his army was fifty-seven thousand,
four hundred. [9] The number of all the armies of Judah was a hundred and
eighty-six thousand, four hundred. They go forward first. [10] On the south
side is the flag of the children of Reuben, in the order of their armies,
with Elizur, the son of Shedeur, as their chief. [11] The number of his
army was forty-six thousand, five hundred. [12] And nearest to him, the
tribe of Simeon, with Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, as their chief.
[13] The number of his army was fifty-nine thousand, three hundred. [14]
Then the tribe of Gad, with Eliasaph, son of Reuel, as their chief. [15]
The number of his army was forty-five thousand, six hundred and fifty. [16]
The number of all the armies of Reuben together came to a hundred and
fifty-one thousand, four hundred and fifty. They go forward second. [17]
Then the Tent of meeting is to go forward, with the tents of the Levites,
in the middle of the armies; in the same order as their tents are placed,
they are to go forward, every man under his flag. [18] On the west side
will be the flag of the children of Ephraim, with Elishama, the son of
Ammihud, as their chief. [19] The number of his army was forty thousand,
five hundred. [20] And by him the tribe of Manasseh with Gamaliel, the son
of Pedahzur, as their chief. [21] The number of his army was thirty-two
thousand, two hundred. [22] Then the tribe of Benjamin, with Abidan, the
son of Gideoni, as their chief. [23] The number of his army was thirty-five
thousand, four hundred. [24] The number of all the armies of Ephraim was a
hundred and eight thousand, one hundred. They go forward third. [25] On the
north side will be the flag of the children of Dan, with Ahiezer, the son
of Ammishaddai, as their chief. [26] The number of his army was sixty-two
thousand, seven hundred. [27] Nearest to him will be the tribe of Asher,
with Pagiel, the son of Ochran, as their chief. [28] The number of his army
was forty-one thousand, five hundred; [29] Then the tribe of Naphtali, with
Ahira, the son of Enan, as their chief. [30] The number of his army was
fifty-three thousand, four hundred. [31] The number of all the armies in
the tents of Dan was a hundred and fifty-seven thousand, six hundred. They
will go forward last, by their flags. [32] These are all who were numbered
of the children of Israel, in the order of their fathers' families: all the
armies in their tents together came to six hundred and three thousand, five
hundred and fifty. [33] But the Levites were not numbered among the
children of Israel, as the Lord said to Moses. [34] So the children of
Israel did as the Lord said to Moses, so they put up their tents by their
flags, and they went forward in the same order, by their families, and by
their fathers' houses.
