The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 “^aThe sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the ¹banners of their fathers’ households; they shall camp around the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) , but at a distance. 3 Those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the ¹standard of the camp of Judah, by their armies; and ^aNahshon the son of Amminadab shall lead the sons of Judah, 4 and his army as numbered totaled 74,600. 5 Next to Judah on the east side the tribe of Issachar shall encamp; and ^aNethanel the son of Zuar shall lead the sons of Issachar, 6 and his army as numbered totaled 54,400. 7 Then also on the east side the tribe of Zebulun; and ^aEliab the son of Helon shall lead the sons of Zebulun, 8 and his army as numbered totaled 57,400. 9 The total of the numbered men in the three tribes on the east side in the camp of Judah was 186,400, by their armies. ^aThey shall move out first on the march.

10 “On the south side shall be the ¹standard of the camp of Reuben, by their armies; and ^aElizur the son of Shedeur shall lead the sons of Reuben, 11 and his army as numbered totaled 46,500. 12 Those who camp next to Reuben on the south side shall be the tribe of Simeon; and ^aShelumiel the son of Zurishaddai shall lead the sons of Simeon, 13 and his army as numbered totaled 59,300. 14 Then completing the south side the tribe of Gad; and ^aEliasaph the son of Reuel (Deuel) shall lead the sons of Gad, 15 and his army as numbered totaled 45,650. 16 The total of the numbered men in the three tribes on the south side in the camp of Reuben was 151,450, by their armies. ^aThey shall move out second on the march.

17 “^aThen the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) shall move out with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the other camps; just as they camp so shall they move out, every man in his place by their standards.

18 “On the west side shall be the ¹standard of the camp of ^aEphraim, by their armies; and ^bElishama the son of Ammihud shall lead the sons of Ephraim, 19 and his army as numbered totaled 40,500. 20 Beside Ephraim on the west side shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and ^aGamaliel the son of Pedahzur shall lead the sons of Manasseh, 21 and his army as numbered totaled 32,200. 22 Then completing the west side shall be the tribe of ^aBenjamin; and ^bAbidan the son of Gideoni shall lead the sons of Benjamin, 23 and his army as numbered totaled 35,400. 24 The total of the numbered men of the three tribes on the west side in the camp of Ephraim was 108,100, by their armies. ^aThey shall move out in third place.

25 “On the north side shall be the ¹standard of the camp of Dan, by their armies; and ^aAhiezer the son of Ammishaddai shall lead the sons of Dan, 26 and his army as numbered totaled 62,700. 27 Encamped next to Dan on the north side shall be the tribe of Asher; and ^aPagiel the son of Ochran shall lead the sons of Asher, 28 and his army as numbered totaled 41,500. 29 Then completing the north side comes the tribe of ^aNaphtali; and ^bAhira the son of Enan shall lead the sons of Naphtali, 30 and his army as numbered totaled 53,400. 31 The total of the numbered men of the three tribes on the north side in the camp of Dan was 157,600. ^aThey shall move out last, ¹standard after standard.”

32 These are the men of the Israelites twenty years old and upward as numbered by their fathers’ households. The total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, ^a603,550. 33 But ^athe Levites were not numbered with the other Israelites, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 34 Thus the Israelites did as ordered; according to everything the LORD had commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they moved out, everyone with his family (clan) , according to his fathers’ household.

Now the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 “^aThe sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own ¹flag, with the banners of their fathers’ households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting ²at a distance. 3 Now those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the flag of the camp of Judah, by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Judah: ^aNahshon the son of Amminadab, 4 and his army, their ¹numbered men: 74,600. 5 Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and the leader of the sons of Issachar: ^aNethanel the son of Zuar, 6 and his army, their numbered men: 54,400. 7 Then follows the tribe of Zebulun; and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: ^aEliab the son of Helon, 8 and his army, his numbered men: 57,400. 9 The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah: 186,400, by their armies. ^aThey shall set out first.

10 “On the south side shall be the flag of the camp of Reuben by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Reuben: ^aElizur the son of Shedeur, 11 and his army, their numbered men: 46,500. 12 And those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the leader of the sons of Simeon: ^aShelumiel the son of Zurishaddai, 13 and his army, their numbered men: 59,300. 14 Then follows the tribe of Gad; and the leader of the sons of Gad: ^aEliasaph the son of ¹Deuel, 15 and his army, their numbered men: 45,650. 16 The total of the numbered men of the camp of Reuben: 151,450 by their armies. And ^athey shall set out second.

17 “^aThen the tent of meeting shall set out with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; just as they camp, so they shall set out, every man in his place by their flags.

18 “On the west side shall be the flag of the camp of ^aEphraim by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Ephraim: ^bElishama the son of Ammihud, 19 and his army, their numbered men: 40,500. 20 Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and the leader of the sons of Manasseh: ^aGamaliel the son of Pedahzur, 21 and his army, their numbered men, 32,200. 22 Then follows the tribe of ^aBenjamin; and the leader of the sons of Benjamin: ^bAbidan the son of Gideoni, 23 and his army, their numbered men, 35,400. 24 The total of the numbered men of the camp of Ephraim: 108,100, by their armies. And ^athey shall set out third.

25 “On the north side shall be the flag of the camp of Dan by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Dan: ^aAhiezer the son of Ammishaddai, 26 and his army, their numbered men: 62,700. 27 Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher; and the leader of the sons of Asher: ^aPagiel the son of Ochran, 28 and his army, their numbered men: 41,500. 29 Then follows the tribe of ^aNaphtali; and the leader of the sons of Naphtali: ^bAhira the son of Enan, 30 and his army, their numbered men: 53,400. 31 The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600. ^aThey shall set out last by their flags.”

32 These are the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers’ households; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, ^a603,550. 33 ^aThe Levites, however, were not counted among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 34 So the sons of Israel did all this; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they camped by their flags, and so they set out, everyone by his family according to his father’s household.
