[1]AND the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, [2]Every man of the children of Israel shall encamp by his own standard, at the places of their father's house; far off round about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they encamp [3]Those who encamp first toward the east shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah throughout their armies; and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be chief of the children of Judah. [4]And the number of his host was seventy-four thousand and six hundred. [5]And those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and Nethanael the son of Zuar shall be chief of the children of Issachar. [6]And the number of his host was fifty-four thousand and four hundred. [7]Then shall encamp the tribe of Zebulun; and Eliab the son of Helen shall be chief of the children of Zebulun. [8]And the number of his host was fifty-seven thousand and four hundred. [9]The total number of the camp of Judah was one hundred and eighty-six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies. They shall march first. [10]On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies; and the chief of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. [11]And the number of his host was forty-six thousand and five hundred. [12]And those who encamp by him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the chief of the children of Simeon shall be Shelmuiel the son of Zurishaddai. [13]And the number of his host was fifty-nine thousand and three hundred. [14]Then shall encamp the tribe of Gad; and the chief of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. [15]And the number of his host was forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. [16]The total number of the camp of Reuben was one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. They shall march in the second place. [17]Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall march with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamped so shall they march, every man by his standard throughout their armies. [18]On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies; and the chief of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. [19]And the number of his host was forty thousand and five hundred. [20]And those who encamp by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and the chief of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Perzur. [21]And the number of his host was thirty-two thousand and two hundred. [22]Then shall encamp the tribe of Benjamin; and the chief of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. [23]And the number of his host was thirty-five thousand and four hundred. [24]The total number of the camp of Ephraim was an hundred and eight thousand and one hundred, throughout their armies. They shall march in the third place. [25]The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies; and the chief of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. [26]And the number of his host was sixty-two thousand and seven hundred. [27]And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher; and the chief of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran. [28]And the number of his host was forty-one thousand and five hundred. [29]Then shall encamp the tribe of Naphtali; and the chief of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahida the son of Enan. [30]And the number of his host was fifty-three thousand and four hundred. [31]The total number of the camp of Dan was a hundred and fifty-seven thousand and six hundred. They shall march last with their standards. [32]These are the numbers of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers; all those who were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. [33]But the Levites and the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. [34]And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they marched by their standards, and so they encamped, every man in his camp, according to the house of his fathers
