12“Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon. The prince of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13His division, and those who were counted of them, were fifty-nine thousand and three hundred.
14“The tribe of Gad: the prince of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15His division, and those who were counted of them, were forty-five thousand and six hundred and fifty.
16“All who were counted of the camp of Reuben were one hundred and fifty-one thousand and four hundred and fifty, according to their armies. They shall set out second.
17“Then the Tent of Meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the camps. As they encamp, so shall they set out, every man in his place, by their standards.
18“On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their divisions. The prince of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19His division, and those who were counted of them, were forty thousand and five hundred.

31“All who were counted of the camp of Dan were one hundred and fifty-seven thousand and six hundred. They shall set out last by their standards.”
32 These are those who were counted of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses. All who were counted of the camps according to their armies were six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 33But the Levites were not counted amongst the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.
34 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set out, everyone by their families, according to their fathers’ houses.

Numbers 2

The Arrangement of the Tribes in Camp
1The LORD gave Moses and Aaron the following instructions. 2When 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 round the Tent.
3-9On the east side, those under the banner of the division of Judah shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
Tribe | Leader | Number |
---|---|---|
Judah | Nahshon son of Amminadab | 74,600 |
Issachar | Nethanel son of Zuar | 54,400 |
Zebulun | Eliab son of Helon | 57,400 |
Total: | 186,400 |
The division of Judah shall march first.
10-16On the south, those under the banner of the division of Reuben shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
Tribe | Leader | Number |
---|---|---|
Reuben | Elizur son of Shedeur | 46,500 |
Simeon | Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai | 59,300 |
Gad | Eliasaph son of Deuel | 45,650 |
Total: | 151,450 |
The division of Reuben shall march second.
17Then, 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.
18-24On the west, those under the banner of the division of Ephraim shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
Tribe | Leader | Number |
---|---|---|
Ephraim | Elishama son of Ammihud | 40,500 |
Manasseh | Gamaliel son of Pedahzur | 32,200 |
Benjamin | Abidan son of Gideoni | 35,400 |
Total: | 108,100 |
The division of Ephraim shall march third.
25-31On the north, those under the banner of the division of Dan shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
Tribe | Leader | Number |
---|---|---|
Dan | Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai | 62,700 |
Asher | Pagiel son of Ochran | 41,500 |
Naphtali | Ahira son of Enan | 53,400 |
Total: | 157,600 |
The division of Dan shall march last.
32The total number of the people of Israel enrolled in the divisions, group by group, was 603,550. 33As the LORD had commanded Moses, the Levites were not registered with the rest of the Israelites.
34So 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.
