17Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.

18On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama, the son of Ammihud.” 19And those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand, five hundred. 20“And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.” 21And those that were numbered of them, were thirty-two thousand, two hundred. 22“Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan, the son of Gideoni”. 23And those that were numbered of them, were thirty-five thousand, four hundred. 24All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were a hundred eight thousand, one hundred, throughout their armies. “And they shall go forward in the third rank.

32These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred three thousand, five hundred fifty. 33But the Levites 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 encamped by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.
