The Arrangement of the Tribes in Camp
1 The Lord gave Moses and Aaron the following instructions. 2 When the Israelites set up camp, each man will camp under the banner of his division and the flag of his own clan. The camp is to be set up all around the Tent.
3-9 On the east side, those under the banner of the division of Judah shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
Tribe Leader NumberJudah Nahshon son of Amminadab 74,600Issachar Nethanel son of Zuar 54,400Zebulun Eliab son of Helon 57,400Total: 186,400
The division of Judah shall march first.
10-16 On the south, those under the banner of the division of Reuben shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
Tribe Leader NumberReuben Elizur son of Shedeur 46,500Simeon Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai 59,300Gad Eliasaph son of Deuel 45,650Total: 151,450
The division of Reuben shall march second.
17 Then, between the first two divisions and the last two the Levites are to march carrying the Tent. Each division shall march in the same order as they camp, each in position under its banner.
18-24 On the west, those under the banner of the division of Ephraim shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
Tribe Leader NumberEphraim Elishama son of Ammihud 40,500Manasseh Gamaliel son of Pedahzur 32,200Benjamin Abidan son of Gideoni 35,400Total: 108,100
The division of Ephraim shall march third.
25-31 On the north, those under the banner of the division of Dan shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
Tribe Leader NumberDan Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai 62,700Asher Pagiel son of Ochran 41,500Naphtali Ahira son of Enan 53,400Total: 157,600
The division of Dan shall march last.
32 The total number of the people of Israel enrolled in the divisions, group by group, was 603,550. 33 As the Lord had commanded Moses, the Levites were not registered with the rest of the Israelites.
34 So the people of Israel did everything the Lord had commanded Moses. They camped, each under his own banner, and they marched, each with his own clan.
