Numbers 2
2
1And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2The children of Israel shall encamp every one by his standard, with the ensign of their father's house; round about the tent of meeting, afar off, opposite to it shall they encamp.
3And for those encamping eastward toward the sun-rising there shall be the standard of the camp of Judah according to their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab; 4and his host, even those that were numbered of them, were seventy-four thousand six hundred. 5And those that encamp next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and the prince of the sons of Issachar shall be Nethaneel the son of Zuar; 6and his host, even those that were numbered thereof, fifty-four thousand four hundred. 7With them shall be the tribe of Zebulun; and the prince of the sons of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon; 8and his host, even those that were numbered thereof, fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 9All that were numbered of the camp of Judah were a hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their hosts. They shall set forth first. 10The standard of the camp of Reuben shall be southward according to their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur; 11and his host, even those that were numbered thereof, forty-six thousand five hundred. 12And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the prince of the sons of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; 13and his host, even those that were numbered of them, fifty-nine thousand three hundred. 14And with them shall be the tribe of Gad; and the prince of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel; 15and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 16All that were numbered of the camp of Reuben were a hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty, according to their hosts. And they shall set forth second. 17And the tent of meeting shall set forth, the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamp, so shall they set forth, every man in his place, according to their standards. 18The standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts shall be westward; and the prince of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud; 19and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty thousand five hundred. 20And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and the prince of the sons of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 21and his host, even those that were numbered of them, thirty-two thousand two hundred. 22And with them shall be the tribe of Benjamin; and the prince of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni; 23and his host, even those that were numbered of them, thirty-five thousand four hundred. 24All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were a hundred and eight thousand one hundred, according to their hosts. And they shall set forth third. 25The standard of the camp of Dan shall be northward according to their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; 26and his host, even those that were numbered of them, sixty-two thousand seven hundred. 27And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher; and the prince of the sons of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran; 28and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty-one thousand five hundred. 29And with them shall be the tribe of Naphtali; and the prince of the sons of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan; 30and his host, even those that were numbered of them, fifty-three thousand four hundred. 31All that were numbered of the camp of Dan were a hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set forth last according to their standards. 32These are those that were numbered of the children of Israel, according to their fathers' houses: all those that were numbered of the camps, according to their hosts, were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 33But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses. 34And the children of Israel did according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses: so they encamped according to their standards, and so they journeyed, every one according to their families, according to their fathers' houses.

32These are the enlisted Israelites by their households. The total enlisted in the camps with their military units is 603,550. 33But the Levites weren’t enlisted among the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded Moses. 34The Israelites did everything exactly as the LORD had commanded Moses: they camped under their banners and they marched by their clans and by their households.
