1AND the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2Every man of the children of Israel shall encamp by his own standard, at the places of their father's house; far off round about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they encamp. 3Those who encamp first toward the east shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah throughout their armies; and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be chief of the children of Judah. 4And the number of his host was seventy-four thousand and six hundred. 5And those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and Nethanael the son of Zuar shall be chief of the children of Issachar. 6And the number of his host was fifty-four thousand and four hundred. 7Then shall encamp the tribe of Zebulun; and Eliab the son of Helen shall be chief of the children of Zebulun. 8And the number of his host was fifty-seven thousand and four hundred. 9The total number of the camp of Judah was one hundred and eighty-six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies. They shall march first.

10On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies; and the chief of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 11And the number of his host was forty-six thousand and five hundred. 12And those who encamp by him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the chief of the children of Simeon shall be Shelmuiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13And the number of his host was fifty-nine thousand and three hundred. 14Then shall encamp the tribe of Gad; and the chief of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15And the number of his host was forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 16The total number of the camp of Reuben was one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. They shall march in the second place.

17Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall march with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamped so shall they march, every man by his standard throughout their armies.

18On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies; and the chief of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19And the number of his host was forty thousand and five hundred. 20And those who encamp by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and the chief of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Perzur. 21And the number of his host was thirty-two thousand and two hundred. 22Then shall encamp the tribe of Benjamin; and the chief of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23And the number of his host was thirty-five thousand and four hundred. 24The total number of the camp of Ephraim was an hundred and eight thousand and one hundred, throughout their armies. They shall march in the third place.

25The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies; and the chief of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26And the number of his host was sixty-two thousand and seven hundred. 27And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher; and the chief of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran. 28And the number of his host was forty-one thousand and five hundred. 29Then shall encamp the tribe of Naphtali; and the chief of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahida the son of Enan. 30And the number of his host was fifty-three thousand and four hundred. 31The total number of the camp of Dan was a hundred and fifty-seven thousand and six hundred. They shall march last with their standards.

32These are the numbers of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers; all those who were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 33But the Levites and the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. 34And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they marched by their standards, and so they encamped, every man in his camp, according to the house of his fathers.
