2 耶和华对摩西和亚伦说： 2 “以色列人要各归本旗，按本族的旗号，在会幕四围稍远的地方安营。” 3 东边，即日出的方向，是犹大营区及其旗号。犹大人的首领是亚米拿达的儿子拿顺， 4 率领七万四千六百人。 5 在犹大支派旁边安营的是以萨迦支派，首领是苏押的儿子拿坦业， 6 率领五万四千四百人。 7 然后是西布伦支派，首领是希伦的儿子以利押， 8 率领五万七千四百人。 9 犹大营区的人共十八万六千四百人，他们是开路先锋。
10 南边是吕便营区及其旗号。吕便人的首领是示丢珥的儿子以利苏， 11 率领四万六千五百人。 12 在吕便支派旁边安营的是西缅支派，首领是苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑， 13 率领五万九千三百人。 14 然后是迦得支派，首领是丢珥的儿子以利雅萨， 15 率领四万五千六百五十人。 16 吕便营区共十五万一千四百五十人，他们是第二队。 17 随后是会幕和利未人的营区，在其他各营中间。他们各就各位，各归本旗，照安营时的次序出发。
18 西边是以法莲营区及其旗号。以法莲人的首领是亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛， 19 率领四万零五百人。 20 以法莲支派旁边是玛拿西支派，首领是比大苏的儿子迦玛列， 21 率领三万二千二百人。 22 然后是便雅悯支派，首领是基多尼的儿子亚比但， 23 率领三万五千四百人。 24 以法莲营区共十万八千一百人，他们是第三队。

32 以上照宗族和队伍统计的以色列人共六十万三千五百五十名。 33 照耶和华对摩西的吩咐，利未人没被统计在其中。
34 于是，以色列人照耶和华对摩西的吩咐，各按自己的旗号安营，各按自己的宗族启行。
