Numbers 2:1-34 NASB
[1] Now the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, [2] “The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own flag, with the banners of their fathers’ households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance. [3] Now those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the flag of the camp of Judah, by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab, [4] and his army, their numbered men: 74,600. [5] Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and the leader of the sons of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar, [6] and his army, their numbered men: 54,400. [7] Then follows the tribe of Zebulun; and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon, [8] and his army, his numbered men: 57,400. [9] The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah: 186,400, by their armies. They shall set out first. [10] “On the south side shall be the flag of the camp of Reuben by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur, [11] and his army, their numbered men: 46,500. [12] And those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the leader of the sons of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai, [13] and his army, their numbered men: 59,300. [14] Then follows the tribe of Gad; and the leader of the sons of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel, [15] and his army, their numbered men: 45,650. [16] The total of the numbered men of the camp of Reuben: 151,450 by their armies. And they shall set out second. [17] “Then the tent of meeting shall set out with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; just as they camp, so they shall set out, every man in his place by their flags. [18] “On the west side shall be the flag of the camp of Ephraim by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Ephraim: Elishama the son of Ammihud, [19] and his army, their numbered men: 40,500. [20] Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and the leader of the sons of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur, [21] and his army, their numbered men, 32,200. [22] Then follows the tribe of Benjamin; and the leader of the sons of Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni, [23] and his army, their numbered men, 35,400. [24] The total of the numbered men of the camp of Ephraim: 108,100, by their armies. And they shall set out third. [25] “On the north side shall be the flag of the camp of Dan by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Dan: Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, [26] and his army, their numbered men: 62,700. [27] Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher; and the leader of the sons of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran, [28] and his army, their numbered men: 41,500. [29] Then follows the tribe of Naphtali; and the leader of the sons of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan, [30] and his army, their numbered men: 53,400. [31] The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600. They shall set out last by their flags.” [32] These are the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers’ households; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550. [33] The Levites, however, were not counted among the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. [34] So the sons of Israel did all this; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they camped by their flags, and so they set out, everyone by his family according to his father’s household.
