3Now those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah, by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Judah: 1Nahshon the son of Amminadab, 4and his army, even their 2numbered men, 74,600. 5Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar, and the leader of the sons of Issachar: 3Nethanel the son of Zuar, 6and his army, even their numbered men, 54,400. 7Then comes the tribe of Zebulun, and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: 4Eliab the son of Helon, 8and his army, even his numbered men, 57,400. 9The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah: 186,400, by their armies. 5They shall set out first.
10“On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Reuben: 6Elizur the son of Shedeur, 11and his army, even their numbered men, 46,500. 12Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon, and the leader of the sons of Simeon: 7Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai, 13and his army, even their numbered men, 59,300. 14Then comes the tribe of Gad, and the leader of the sons of Gad: 8Eliasaph the son of 9Deuel, 15and his army, even their numbered men, 45,650. 16The total of the numbered men of the camp of Reuben: 151,450 by their armies. And 10they shall set out second.
17“11Then 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 standards.
18“On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of 12Ephraim by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Ephraim shall be 13Elishama the son of Ammihud, 19and his army, even their numbered men, 40,500. 20Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh, and the leader of the sons of Manasseh: 14Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur, 21and his army, even their numbered men, 32,200. 22Then comes the tribe of 15Benjamin, and the leader of the sons of Benjamin: 16Abidan the son of Gideoni, 23and his army, even their numbered men, 35,400. 24The total of the numbered men of the camp of Ephraim: 108,100, by their armies. And 17they shall set out third.
25“On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Dan: 18Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, 26and his army, even their numbered men, 62,700. 27Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, and the leader of the sons of Asher: 19Pagiel the son of Ochran, 28and his army, even their numbered men, 41,500. 29Then comes the tribe of 20Naphtali, and the leader of the sons of Naphtali: 21Ahira the son of Enan, 30and his army, even their numbered men, 53,400. 31The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600. 22They shall set out last by their standards.”
32These 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, 23603,550. 3324The Levites, however, were not numbered among the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 34Thus the sons of Israel did; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, every one by his family according to his father’s household.
