1The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:1Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:
2"The Israelites are to camp under their respective banners beside the flags of their ancestral families. They are to camp around the tent of meeting at a distance from it:2“When the Israelites set up camp, each tribe will be assigned its own area. The tribal divisions will camp beneath their family banners on all four sides of the Tabernacle, but at some distance from it.
3Judah's military divisions will camp on the east side toward the sunrise under their banner.

17The tent of meeting is to move out with the Levites' camp, which is in the middle of the camps.

All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner.

31The total number who belong to Dan's encampment is 157,600; they are to move out last, with their banners."31So the total of all the troops on Dan’s side of the camp is 157,600. These three tribes will be last, marching under their banners whenever the Israelites travel.”
32These are the Israelites registered by their ancestral families. The total number in the camps by their military divisions is 603,550.32In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550.
33But the Levites were not registered among the Israelites, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.33But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration.
34The Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses; they camped by their banners in this way and moved out the same way, each man by his clan and by his ancestral family.34So the people of Israel did everything as the LORD had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the LORD had instructed them.
