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.

1(iii) Adonai said to Moshe and Aharon, 2“The people of Isra’el are to set up camp by clans, each man with his own banner and under his clan’s symbol; they are to camp around the tent of meeting, but at a distance.
3-9“Those camping on the east side toward the sunrise are to be under the banner of the camp of Y’hudah; they are to camp according to companies; by tribe and leader they are as follows:
“This group is to set out first.
10-16“Those camping on the south are to be under the banner of the camp of Re’uven; they are to camp according to companies; by tribe and leader they are as follows:
“This group is to set out second.
17“Then the tent of meeting, with the camp of the L’vi’im, will set out, with the other camps in front and behind. They will go in the same order as their camps are set up — each man will go forward in his position, under his banner.
18-24“Those camping on the west are to be under the banner of the camp of Efrayim; they are to camp according to companies; by tribe and leader they are as follows:
“This group is to set out third.
25-31“Those camping on the north are to be under the banner of the camp of Dan; they are to camp according to companies; by tribe and leader they are as follows:
“This group is to set out last with their banners.”
32These are the ones counted from the people of Isra’el by clans; the total number recorded in the camps, company by company, was 603,550. 33But, as Adonai ordered Moshe, the L’vi’im were not counted with the rest of Isra’el.
34The people of Isra’el did everything Adonai had ordered Moshe: they set up camp under their banners, and they set out, each according to his family and clan.
