1The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:

2"The Israelites shall camp, each in his own division, under the ensigns of their ancestral houses. They shall camp around the meeting tent, but at some distance from it.

3"Encamped on the east side, toward the sunrise, shall be the divisional camp of Judah, arranged in companies. (The prince of the Judahites was Nahshon, son of Amminadab,

4and his soldiers amounted in the census to seventy-four thousand six hundred.)

5With Judah shall camp the tribe of Issachar (Their prince was Nethanel, son of Zuar,

6and his soldiers amounted in the census to fifty-four thousand four hundred.)

7and the tribe of Zebulun. (Their prince was Eliab, son of Helon,

8and his soldiers amounted in the census to fifty-seven thousand four hundred.

9The total number of those registered by companies in the camp of Judah was one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred.) These shall be first on the march.

10"On the south side shall be the divisional camp of Reuben, arranged in companies. (Their prince was Elizur, son of Shedeur,

11and his soldiers amounted in the census to forty-six thousand five hundred.)

12Beside them shall camp the tribe of Simeon (Their prince was Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai,

13and his soldiers amounted in the census to fifty-nine thousand three hundred.)

14and next the tribe of Gad. (Their prince was Eliasaph, son of Reuel,

15and his soldiers amounted in the census to forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.

16The total number of those registered by companies in the camp of Reuben was one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty.) These shall be second on the march.

17"Then the meeting tent and the camp of the Levites shall set out in the middle of the line. As in camp, so also on the march, every man shall be in his proper place, with his own division.

18"On the west side shall be the divisional camp of Ephraim, arranged in companies. (Their prince was Elishama, son of Ammihud,

19and his soldiers amounted in the census to forty thousand five hundred.)

20Beside them shall camp the tribe of Manasseh (Their prince was Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur,

21and his soldiers amounted in the census to thirty-two thousand two hundred.)

22and the tribe of Benjamin. (Their prince was Abidan, son of Gideoni,

23and his soldiers amounted in the census to thirty-five thousand four hundred.

24The total number of those registered by companies in the camp of Ephraim was one hundred and eight thousand one hundred.) These shall be third on the march.

25"On the north side shall be the divisional camp of Dan, arranged in companies. (Their prince was Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai,

26and his soldiers amounted in the census to sixty-two thousand seven hundred.)

27Beside them shall camp the tribe of Asher (Their prince was Pagiel, son of Ochran,

28and his soldiers amounted in the census to forty-one thousand five hundred.)

29and next the tribe of Naphtali. (Their prince was Ahira, son of Enan,

30and his soldiers amounted in the census to fifty-three thousand four hundred.

31The total number of those registered by companies in the camp of Dan was one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred.) These shall be the last of the divisions on the march."

32This was the census of the Israelites taken by ancestral houses. The total number of those registered by companies in the camps was six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.

33The Levites, however, were not registered with the other Israelites, for so the LORD had commanded Moses.

34The Israelites did just as the LORD had commanded Moses; both in camp and on the march they were in their own divisions, every man according to his clan and his ancestral house.
