Numeri 2
Het Boek
Elke stam zijn eigen plaats
2 De Here zei tegen Mozes en Aäron: 2 ‘Elke stam heeft zijn eigen plaats in het kamp met een vlaggenstok en een stambanier. Elke stam zal zich op een afstand rond de tabernakel groeperen.’
3-31 Dit zijn de plaatsen waar elke stam in het kamp verbleef: de stam Juda: 74.600 personen, onder leiding van Nachson, zoon van Amminadab: oostkant van de tabernakel. De stam Issachar: 54.400 personen, onder leiding van Netanel, zoon van Suar: naast Juda. De stam Zebulon: 57.400 personen, onder leiding van Eliab, zoon van Chelon: naast Issachar. Zo kwam het aantal mannen aan Judaʼs kant van het kamp op 186.400. Deze drie stammen gingen voorop wanneer de Israëlieten naar een nieuwe kampplaats trokken. De stam Ruben: 46.500 personen, onder leiding van Elisur, zoon van Sedeür: zuidkant van de tabernakel. De stam Simeon: 59.300 personen, onder leiding van Selumiël, zoon van Surisaddai: naast Ruben. De stam Gad: 45.650 personen, onder leiding van Eljasaf, zoon van Deüel, naast Simeon. In totaal bevonden zich 151.450 mannen aan Rubens kant van het kamp. Zij vormden de tweede groep wanneer de Israëlieten opbraken. Achter hen kwam de tabernakel met de Levieten. Tijdens de dagmarsen bleef elke stam rond zijn eigen stambanier verzameld, net als in het kamp. De stam Efraïm: 40.500 personen, onder leiding van Elisama, zoon van Ammihud: westkant van de tabernakel. De stam Manasse: 32.200 personen, onder leiding van Gamliël, zoon van Pedasur: naast Efraïm. De stam Benjamin: 35.400 personen, onder leiding van Abidan, zoon van Gidoni: naast Manasse. Zo kwam het aantal mannen aan Efraïms kant van het kamp op 108.100. Zij liepen tijdens de mars achter de tabernakel en de Levieten. De stam Dan: 62.700 personen, onder leiding van Achiëzer, zoon van Ammisaddai: noordkant van de tabernakel. De stam Aser: 41.500 personen, onder leiding van Pagiël, zoon van Ochran: naast Dan. De stam Naftali: 53.400 personen, onder leiding van Achira, zoon van Enan: naast Aser. Het aantal mannen aan Dans kant van het kamp bedroeg 157.600. Zij braken het laatst op en vormden de achterhoede.
32,33 In totaal bestonden de legergroepen van Israël dus uit 603.550 mannen. Hierbij waren de Levieten niet inbegrepen. Zij waren door de opdracht die de Here aan Mozes had gegeven, apart gehouden.
34 Zo voerden de Israëlieten nauwkeurig alle opdrachten van de Here uit. Zij zetten hun tenten op bij hun eigen banier en braken in bovengenoemde volgorde ook weer op, ingedeeld naar stam en familie.
Numbers 2
American Standard Version
2 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 The children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers’ houses: over against the tent of meeting shall they encamp round about. 3 And those that encamp on the east side toward the sunrising shall be they of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 4 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. 5 And those that encamp next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel the son of Zuar. 6 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. 7 And the tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon. 8 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred. 9 All that were numbered of the camp of Judah were a hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, according to their hosts. They shall set forth first.
10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 11 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred. 12 And those that encamp next unto him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the prince of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. 14 And the tribe of Gad: and the prince of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of [a]Reuel. 15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty. 16 All that were numbered of the camp of Reuben were a hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, according to their hosts. And they shall set forth second.
17 Then the tent of meeting shall set forward, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place, by their standards.
18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred. 20 And next unto him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the prince of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 21 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred. 22 And the tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. 24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were a hundred thousand and eight thousand and a hundred, according to their hosts. And they shall set forth third.
25 On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred. 27 And those that encamp next unto him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the prince of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ochran. 28 And his hosts, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. 29 And the tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan. 30 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. 31 All that were numbered of the camp of Dan were a hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall set forth hindmost by their standards.
32 These are they that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses: all that were numbered of the camps according to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses. 34 Thus did the children of Israel; according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set forward, every one by their families, according to their fathers’ houses.
