1Now the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,1Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:
2"The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance.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.
3"Now those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah, by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab,3“The divisions of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun are to camp toward the sunrise on the east side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab 74,600
4and his army, even their numbered men, 74,600.4
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,5Issachar Nethanel son of Zuar 54,400
6and his army, even their numbered men, 54,400.6
7"Then comes the tribe of Zebulun, and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon,7Zebulun Eliab son of Helon 57,400
8and his army, even his numbered men, 57,400.8
9"The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah: 186,400, by their armies. They shall set out first.9So the total of all the troops on Judah’s side of the camp is 186,400. These three tribes are to lead the way whenever the Israelites travel to a new campsite.
10"On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur,10“The divisions of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad are to camp on the south side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners.

11and his army, even their numbered men, 46,500.11
12"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,12Simeon Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai 59,300

15and his army, even their numbered men, 45,650.15
16"The total of the numbered men of the camp of Reuben: 151,450 by their armies. And they shall set out second.16So the total of all the troops on Reuben’s side of the camp is 151,450. These three tribes will be second in line whenever the Israelites travel.
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 standards.17“Then the Tabernacle, carried by the Levites, will set out from the middle of the camp. All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner.
18"On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud,18“The divisions of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin are to camp on the west side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Ephraim Elishama son of Ammihud 40,500
19and his army, even their numbered men, 40,500.19
20"Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh, and the leader of the sons of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur,20Manasseh Gamaliel son of Pedahzur 32,200

23and his army, even their numbered men, 35,400.23
24"The total of the numbered men of the camp of Ephraim: 108,100, by their armies. And they shall set out third.24So the total of all the troops on Ephraim’s side of the camp is 108,100. These three tribes will be third in line whenever the Israelites travel.
25"On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Dan: Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai,25“The divisions of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali are to camp on the north side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Dan Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai 62,700
26and his army, even their numbered men, 62,700.26
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,27Asher Pagiel son of Ocran 41,500
28and his army, even their numbered men, 41,500.28
29"Then comes the tribe of Naphtali, and the leader of the sons of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan,29Naphtali Ahira son of Enan 53,400
30and his army, even their numbered men, 53,400.30
31"The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600. They shall set out last by their standards."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 numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers' households; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550.32In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550.
33The Levites, however, were not numbered among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.33But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration.
34Thus the sons of Israel did; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, every one by his family according to his father's household.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.
