[1] The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, [2] The Israelites shall encamp, each by his own [tribal] standard or banner with the ensign of his father's house, opposite the Tent of Meeting and facing it on every side. [3] On the east side toward the sunrise shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah encamp by their companies; Nahshon son of Amminadab being the leader of the sons of Judah. [4] Judah's host as numbered totaled 74,600. [5] Next to Judah the tribe of Issachar shall encamp, Nethanel son of Zuar being the leader of the sons of Issachar.

[9] All these [three tribes] numbered in the camp of Judah totaled 186,400. They shall set forth first [on the march]. [10] On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben by their companies, the leader of the sons of Reuben being Elizur son of Shedeur. [11] Reuben's host as numbered totaled 46,500. [12] Those who encamp next to Reuben shall be the tribe of Simeon, the leader of the sons of Simeon being Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. [13] Simeon's host as numbered totaled 59,300.

[16] The whole number in [the three tribes of] the camp of Reuben was 151,450. They shall take second place [on the march]. [17] Then the Tent of Meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamp so shall they set forward, every man in his place, standard after standard. [18] On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim by their companies, the leader of the sons of Ephraim being Elishama son of Ammihud. [19] Ephraim's host as numbered totaled 40,500. [20] Beside Ephraim shall be the tribe of Manasseh, the leader of the sons of Manasseh being Gamaliel son of Pedahzur. [21] Manasseh's host as numbered totaled 32,200. [22] Then the tribe of Benjamin, the leader of the sons of Benjamin being Abidan son of Gideoni. [23] Benjamin's host as numbered totaled 35,400. [24] The whole number [of the three tribes] in the camp of Ephraim totaled 108,100. They shall go forward in third place. [25] The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side [of the tabernacle] by their companies, the leader of the sons of Dan being Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai. [26] Dan's host as numbered totaled 62,700. [27] Encamped next to Dan shall be the tribe of Asher, the leader of the sons of Asher being Pagiel son of Ochran. [28] Asher's host as numbered totaled 41,500. [29] Then the tribe of Naphtali, the leader of the sons of Naphtali being Ahira son of Enan. [30] Naphtali's host as numbered totaled 53,400. [31] The whole number [of the three tribes] in the camp of Dan totaled 157,600. They shall set out last, standard after standard. [32] These are the Israelites as numbered by their fathers' houses. All in the camps who were numbered by their companies were 603,550. [33] But the Levites were not numbered with the Israelites, for so the Lord commanded Moses. [34] Thus the Israelites did according to all the Lord commanded Moses; so they encamped by their standards, and so they set forward, everyone with his [tribal] families, according to his father's house.
