Numbers 2
The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
"The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the [1]banners of their fathers' households; they shall camp around the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle), but at a distance.
Those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the [2]standard of the camp of Judah, by their armies; and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall lead the sons of Judah,
and his army as numbered totaled 74,600.
Next to Judah [on the east side] the tribe of Issachar shall encamp; and Nethanel the son of Zuar shall lead the sons of Issachar,
and his army as numbered totaled 54,400.
Then [also on the east side] the tribe of Zebulun; and Eliab the son of Helon shall lead the sons of Zebulun,
and his army as numbered totaled 57,400.
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. They shall move out first [on the march] .
"On the south side shall be the [3]standard of the camp of Reuben, by their armies; and Elizur the son of Shedeur shall lead the sons of Reuben,
and his army as numbered totaled 46,500.
Those who camp next to Reuben [on the south side] shall be the tribe of Simeon; and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai shall lead the sons of Simeon,
and his army as numbered totaled 59,300.
Then [completing the south side] the tribe of Gad; and Eliasaph the son of Reuel (Deuel) shall lead the sons of Gad,
and his army as numbered totaled 45,650.
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. They shall move out second [on the march] .
"Then 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.
"On the west side shall be the [4]standard of the camp of Ephraim, by their armies; and Elishama the son of Ammihud shall lead the sons of Ephraim,
and his army as numbered totaled 40,500.
Beside Ephraim [on the west side] shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur shall lead the sons of Manasseh,
and his army as numbered totaled 32,200.
Then [completing the west side shall be] the tribe of Benjamin; and Abidan the son of Gideoni shall lead the sons of Benjamin,
and his army as numbered totaled 35,400.
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. They shall move out in third place.
"On the north side shall be the [5]standard of the camp of Dan, by their armies; and Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai shall lead the sons of Dan,
and his army as numbered totaled 62,700.
Encamped next to Dan [on the north side] shall be the tribe of Asher; and Pagiel the son of Ochran shall lead the sons of Asher,
and his army as numbered totaled 41,500.
Then [completing the north side] comes the tribe of Naphtali; and Ahira the son of Enan shall lead the sons of Naphtali,
and his army as numbered totaled 53,400.
The total of the numbered men [of the three tribes on the north side] in the camp of Dan was 157,600. They shall move out last, [6]standard after standard."
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, 603,550.
But the Levites were not numbered with the [other] Israelites, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
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.
