Herren sa til Moses og Aron: «Alle skal slå leir ved den tildelte plassen for sin slekt. De skal slå leir et stykke unna og rundt åpenbaringsteltet. På østsiden av åpenbaringsteltet skal Judas etterfølgereslå leir med Naksjon, Amminadabs sønn som høvding. I hans hæravdeling ble 74 600 registrert. Ved siden av Judas etterfølgere skal Jissakars stamme slå leir. Høvdingen deres skal være Netanel, Suars sønn, og hans hæravdeling talte 54 400. Så kommer Sebulons stamme. Høvdingen for Sebulons barn skal være Eliab, Helons sønn. Hans hæravdeling talte 57 400. Til sammen var det 186 400 som ble registrert på østsiden, og som var en del av Judas enhet. Disse skal være de som går først når leiren brytes opp.
