[1]And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, [2]The children of Israel shall encamp every one by his standard, with the ensign of their father's house; round about the tent of meeting, afar off, opposite to it shall they encamp. [3]And [for] those encamping eastward toward the sun-rising [there shall be] the standard of the camp of Judah according to their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab; [4]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, were seventy-four thousand six hundred. [5]And those that encamp next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and the prince of the sons of Issachar shall be Nethaneel the son of Zuar; [6]and his host, even those that were numbered thereof, fifty-four thousand four hundred. [7][With them shall be] the tribe of Zebulun; and the prince of the sons of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon; [8]and his host, even those that were numbered thereof, fifty-seven thousand four hundred. [9]All that were numbered of the camp of Judah were a hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their hosts. They shall set forth first. [10]The standard of the camp of Reuben shall be southward according to their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur; [11]and his host, even those that were numbered thereof, forty-six thousand five hundred. [12]And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the prince of the sons of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; [13]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, fifty-nine thousand three hundred. [14]And [with them shall be] the tribe of Gad; and the prince of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel; [15]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. [16]All that were numbered of the camp of Reuben were a hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty, according to their hosts. And they shall set forth second. [17]And the tent of meeting shall set forth, the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamp, so shall they set forth, every man in his place, according to their standards. [18]The standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts shall be westward; and the prince of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud; [19]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty thousand five hundred. [20]And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and the prince of the sons of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; [21]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, thirty-two thousand two hundred. [22]And [with them shall be] the tribe of Benjamin; and the prince of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni; [23]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, thirty-five thousand four hundred. [24]All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were a hundred and eight thousand one hundred, according to their hosts. And they shall set forth third. [25]The standard of the camp of Dan shall be northward according to their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; [26]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, sixty-two thousand seven hundred. [27]And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher; and the prince of the sons of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran; [28]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty-one thousand five hundred. [29]And [with them shall be] the tribe of Naphtali; and the prince of the sons of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan; [30]and his host, even those that were numbered of them, fifty-three thousand four hundred. [31]All that were numbered of the camp of Dan were a hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set forth last according to their standards. [32]These are those that were numbered of the children of Israel, according to their fathers' houses: all those that were numbered of the camps, according to their hosts, were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. [33]But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. [34]And the children of Israel did according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses: so they encamped according to their standards, and so they journeyed, every one according to their families, according to their fathers' houses.
