The Camp Arrangement
1The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 2“The Israelites should make their camps around the Meeting Tent. Each division will have its own special flag, and everyone will camp near their group’s flag.
3“The flag of the camp of Judah will be on the east side, where the sun rises. The people of Judah will camp near its flag. The leader of the people of Judah is Nahshon son of Amminadab. 4There are 74,600 men in his division.
5“The tribe of Issachar will camp next to the tribe of Judah. The leader of the tribe of Issachar is Nethanel son of Zuar. 6There are 54,400 men in his division.
7“The tribe of Zebulun will also camp next to the tribe of Judah. The leader of the tribe of Zebulun is Eliab son of Helon. 8There are 57,400 men in his division.
9“The total number of men in Judah’s camp is 186,400. All these men are divided into their different tribes. Judah will be the first group to move when the people travel from one place to another.
10“The flag of Reuben’s camp will be south of the Holy Tent. Each group will camp near its flag. The leader of the tribe of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur. 11There are 46,500 men in this division.
12“The tribe of Simeon will camp next to the tribe of Reuben. The leader of the tribe of Simeon is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. 13There are 59,300 men in this division.
14“The tribe of Gad will also camp next to the tribe of Reuben. The leader of the tribe of Gad is Eliasaph son of Deuel.#2:14 Deuel Or “Reuel.” 15There are 45,650 men in this division.
16“The total number of men in all the divisions of Reuben’s camp is 151,450. His camp will be the second group to move when the people travel from place to place.
17“When the people travel, Levi’s camp will move next. The Meeting Tent will be with them between the other camps. The people will make their camps in the same order that they move.
18“The flag of the camp of Ephraim will be on the west side. The division of Ephraim will camp there. The leader of the tribe of Ephraim is Elishama son of Ammihud. 19There are 40,500 men in this division.
20“The tribe of Manasseh will camp next to Ephraim’s family. The leader of the tribe of Manasseh is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur. 21There are 32,200 men in this division.
22“The tribe of Benjamin will also camp next to Ephraim’s family. The leader of the tribe of Benjamin is Abidan son of Gideoni. 23There are 35,400 men in this division.
24“The total number of men in Ephraim’s camp is 108,100. They will be the third family to move when the people travel from one place to another.
25“The flag of Dan’s camp will be on the north side. The tribes of Dan will camp there. The leader of the tribe of Dan is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai. 26There are 62,700 men in this division.
27“The people from the tribe of Asher will camp next to the tribe of Dan. The leader of the tribe of Asher is Pagiel son of Ocran. 28There are 41,500 men in this division.
29“The tribe of Naphtali will also camp next to the tribe of Dan. The leader of the tribe of Naphtali is Ahira son of Enan. 30There are 53,400 men in this division.
31“There are 157,600 men in Dan’s camp. They will be the last to move when the people travel from place to place. Each group will have its own flag.”
32So these were the Israelites. They were counted by families. The total number of Israelite men in the camps, counted by divisions, is 603,550. 33Moses obeyed the Lord and did not count the Levites with the other Israelites.
34So the Israelites did everything the Lord told Moses. Each group camped under its own flag. And everyone stayed with their own family and family group.

The Tribes and Leaders by Armies
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2#Num. 1:52; 24:2“Everyone of the children of Israel shall camp by his own standard, beside the emblems of his father’s house; they shall camp #Josh. 3:4some distance from the tabernacle of meeting. 3On the #Num. 10:5east side, toward the rising of the sun, those of the standard of the forces with Judah shall camp according to their armies; and #Num. 1:7; 7:12; 10:14; Ruth 4:20; 1 Chr. 2:10; Matt. 1:4; Luke 3:32, 33Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be the leader of the children of Judah.” 4And his army was numbered at seventy-four thousand six hundred.
5“Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar, and Nethanel the son of Zuar shall be the leader of the children of Issachar.” 6And his army was numbered at fifty-four thousand four hundred.
7“Then comes the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the son of Helon shall be the leader of the children of Zebulun.” 8And his army was numbered at fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 9“All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Judah, one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred—#Num. 10:14these shall break camp first.
10“On the #Num. 10:6south side shall be the standard of the forces with Reuben according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.” 11And his army was numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred.
12“Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon, and the leader of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.” 13And his army was numbered at fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
14“Then comes the tribe of Gad, and the leader of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.” 15And his army was numbered at forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 16“All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Reuben, one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty—#Num. 10:18they shall be the second to break camp.
17#Num. 10:17, 21“And the tabernacle of meeting shall move out with the camp of the Levites #Num. 1:53in the middle of the camps; as they camp, so they shall move out, everyone in his place, by their standards.
18“On the west side shall be the standard of the forces with Ephraim according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.” 19And his army was numbered at forty thousand five hundred.
20“Next to him comes the tribe of Manasseh, and the leader of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.” 21And his army was numbered at thirty-two thousand two hundred.
22“Then comes the tribe of Benjamin, and the leader of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.” 23And his army was numbered at thirty-five thousand four hundred. 24“All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Ephraim, one hundred and eight thousand one hundred—#Num. 10:22they shall be the third to break camp.
25“The standard of the forces with Dan shall be on the north side according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.” 26And his army was numbered at sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
27“Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, and the leader of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.” 28And his army was numbered at forty-one thousand five hundred.
29“Then comes the tribe of Naphtali, and the leader of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.” 30And his army was numbered at fifty-three thousand four hundred. 31“All who were numbered of the forces with Dan, one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred—#Num. 10:25they shall break camp last, with their standards.”
32These are the ones who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses. #Ex. 38:26; Num. 1:46; 11:21All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 33But #Num. 1:47; 26:57–62the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
34Thus the children of Israel #Num. 1:54did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses; #Num. 24:2, 5, 6so they camped by their standards and so they broke camp, each one by his family, according to their fathers’ houses.
