The Arrangement of the Tribes in Camp
2 The Lord gave Moses and Aaron the following instructions. 2 When the Israelites set up camp, each man will camp under the banner of his division and the flag of his own clan. The camp is to be set up all around the Tent.
3-9 On the east side, those under the banner of the division of Judah shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
| Tribe | Leader | Number |
|---|---|---|
| Judah | Nahshon son of Amminadab | 74,600 |
| Issachar | Nethanel son of Zuar | 54,400 |
| Zebulun | Eliab son of Helon | 57,400 |
| Total: | 186,400 | |
The division of Judah shall march first.
10-16 On the south, those under the banner of the division of Reuben shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
| Tribe | Leader | Number |
|---|---|---|
| Reuben | Elizur son of Shedeur | 46,500 |
| Simeon | Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai | 59,300 |
| Gad | Eliasaph son of Deuel | 45,650 |
| Total: | 151,450 | |
The division of Reuben shall march second.
17 Then, between the first two divisions and the last two the Levites are to march carrying the Tent. Each division shall march in the same order as they camp, each in position under its banner.
18-24 On the west, those under the banner of the division of Ephraim shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
| Tribe | Leader | Number |
|---|---|---|
| Ephraim | Elishama son of Ammihud | 40,500 |
| Manasseh | Gamaliel son of Pedahzur | 32,200 |
| Benjamin | Abidan son of Gideoni | 35,400 |
| Total: | 108,100 | |
The division of Ephraim shall march third.
25-31 On the north, those under the banner of the division of Dan shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:
| Tribe | Leader | Number |
|---|---|---|
| Dan | Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai | 62,700 |
| Asher | Pagiel son of Ochran | 41,500 |
| Naphtali | Ahira son of En | 53,400 |
| Total: | 157,600 | |
The division of Dan shall march last.
32 The total number of the people of Israel enrolled in the divisions, group by group, was 603,550. 33 As the Lord had commanded Moses, the Levites were not registered with the rest of the Israelites.
34 So the people of Israel did everything the Lord had commanded Moses. They camped, each under his own banner, and they marched, each with his own clan.
Numbers 2
Jubilee Bible 2000
2 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 Each man of the sons of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, according to the ensigns of the houses of their fathers; round about the tabernacle of the testimony shall they pitch.
3 ¶ These shall pitch toward the sunrise, on the east: the standard of the camp of Judah throughout their hosts and the prince of the sons of Judah, Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.
4 His host, with those that were numbered of them, were seventy-four thousand six hundred.
5 Next to him shall pitch those of the tribe of Issachar and the prince of the sons of Issachar, Nethaneel, the son of Zuar.

29 And the tribe of Naphtali and the prince of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, the son of Enan.
30 His host, with those that were numbered of them, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
31 All those that were numbered in the camp of Dan were one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall go last behind their standards.
32 These are those who were numbered of the sons of Israel by the houses of their fathers; all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
33 But the Levites were not numbered among the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
34 And the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they pitched by their standards, and so they marched, each one after their families, according to the houses of their fathers.
