各支派紮營的次序和位置

耶和華對摩西和亞倫說: “以色列人要各歸自己的旗下,在自己父家的旗號下安營;他們要在會幕四周稍遠的地方安營。 在東方向著日出之地,按著隊伍安營的,是猶大營的旗號;猶大人的領袖是亞米拿達的兒子拿順。 他的隊伍被數點的,共有七萬四千六百人。 在他旁邊安營的,是以薩迦支派;以薩迦人的領袖是蘇押的兒子拿坦業, 他的隊伍被數點的,共有五萬四千四百人。 又有西布倫支派;西布倫人的領袖是希倫的兒子以利押。 他的隊伍被數點的,共有五萬七千四百人。 凡是屬猶大營,按著隊伍被數點的,共有十八萬六千四百人;他們要首先出發。

10 “在南方,按著隊伍,是流本營的旗號;流本人的領袖是示丟珥的兒子以利蓿。 11 他的隊伍被數點的,共有四萬六千五百人。 12 在他旁邊安營的,是西緬支派;西緬人的領袖是蘇利沙代的兒子示路蔑。 13 他的隊伍被數點的,共有五萬九千三百人。 14 又有迦得支派;迦得人的領袖是丟珥的兒子以利雅薩。 15 他的隊伍被數點的,共有四萬五千六百五十人。 16 凡是屬流本營,按著隊伍被數點的,共有十五萬一千四百五十人;他們要作第二隊起行。

17 “會幕和利未人的營要在眾營中間前行;他們怎樣安營,就怎樣出發前行;各按本位,各歸本旗。

18 “在西方,按著隊伍,是以法蓮營的旗號;以法蓮人的領袖是亞米忽的兒子以利沙瑪。 19 他的隊伍被數點的,共有四萬零五百人。 20 在他旁邊的,是瑪拿西支派,瑪拿西人的領袖是比大蓿的兒子迦瑪列。 21 他的隊伍被數點的,共有三萬二千二百人。 22 又有便雅憫支派;便雅憫人的領袖是基多尼的兒子亞比但。 23 他的隊伍被數點的,共有三萬五千四百人。 24 凡是屬以法蓮營,按著隊伍被數點的,共有十萬零八千一百人;他們要作第三隊起行。

25 “在北方,按著隊伍,是但營的旗號;但人的領袖是亞米沙代的兒子亞希以謝。 26 他的隊伍被數點的,共有六萬二千七百人。 27 在他旁邊安營的,是亞設支派;亞設人的領袖是俄蘭的兒子帕結。 28 他的隊伍被數點的,共有四萬一千五百人。 29 又有拿弗他利支派;拿弗他利人的領袖是以南的兒子亞希拉。 30 他的隊伍被數點的,共有五萬三千四百人。 31 凡是屬但營被數點的,共有十五萬七千六百人;他們要隨著自己的旗號,最後起行。”

32 以上是照著他們的父家被數點的以色列人;所有按著他們的隊伍在眾營中被數點的,共有六十萬零三千五百五十人。 33 只有利未人沒有數點在以色列人中,這是耶和華吩咐摩西的。 34 以色列人就照著耶和華吩咐摩西的一切行了,他們隨著自己的旗號安營,各人按著自己的宗族和父家起行。

Chapter 2[a]

Placement of the Tribal Camps. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “Every Israelite will camp by their own standard, alongside the emblems of their father’s household. They will camp some distance from the tent of meeting.

“On the east side, toward the rising of the sun, will be the standard of the camp of Judah arranged by their companies. The leader of the tribe of Judah is Nahshon, the son of Amminadab. His forces numbered seventy-four thousand, six hundred. The tribe of Issachar will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Issachar is Nethanel, the son of Zuar. His forces numbered fifty-four thousand, four hundred. Then there is the tribe of Zebulun. The leader of the tribe of Zebulun is Eliab, the son of Helon. His forces numbered fifty-seven thousand, four hundred. The whole camp of Judah, by their companies, numbered one hundred eighty-six thousand, four hundred. They are to set out first on the march.

10 “On the south side of the camp is the standard of the camp of Reuben, arranged by their companies. The leader of the tribe of Reuben is Elizur, the son of Shedeur. 11 His forces numbered forty-six thousand, five hundred. 12 The tribe of Simeon will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Simeon is Shelumiel, the son of Zurushaddai. 13 His forces numbered fifty-nine thousand, three hundred. 14 Then there is the tribe of Gad. The leader of the tribe of Gad is Eliasaph, the son of Reuel. 15 His forces numbered forty-five thousand, six hundred fifty. 16 The whole camp of Reuben, by their companies, numbered one hundred fifty-one thousand, four hundred fifty. They are to be the second to set out on the march.

17 “Then the tent of meeting will set out, with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the other camps whenever they set up camp. This is how they are to set out, each man located under his own standards.

18 “On the west side of the camp is the standard of the camp of Ephraim, arranged by their companies. The leader of the tribe of Ephraim is Elishama, the son of Ammihud. 19 His forces numbered forty thousand, five hundred. 20 The tribe of Manasseh will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Manasseh is Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur. 21 His forces numbered thirty-two thousand, two hundred. 22 Then comes the tribe of Benjamin. The leader of the tribe of Benjamin is Abidan, the son of Gideoni. 23 His forces numbered thirty-five thousand, five hundred. 24 The whole camp of Ephraim, by their companies, numbered one hundred eight thousand, one hundred. They are to be the third to set out on the march.

25 “On the north side of the camp is the standard of the camp of Dan, arranged by their companies. The leader of the tribe of Dan is Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai. 26 His forces numbered sixty-two thousand, seven hundred. 27 The tribe of Asher will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Asher is Pagiel, the son of Ochran. 28 His forces numbered forty-one thousand, five hundred. 29 Then comes the tribe of Naphtali. The leader of the tribe of Naphtali is Ahira, the son of Enan. 30 His forces numbered fifty-three thousand, four hundred. 31 The whole camp of Dan, by their companies, numbered one hundred fifty-seven thousand, six hundred. They are to march last with their standards.”

32 These were the people of Israel who were counted. There were six hundred three thousand, five hundred and fifty counted in their camps, in their companies, 33 but the Levites were not counted along with the people of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 34 The people of Israel did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses[b] by encamping under their standards and by the way they set out, each going with his clan and his family.

Footnotes

  1. Numbers 2:1 The Hebrew people are seen here as a liturgical assembly that is hierarchically arranged, being organized in increasingly sacral concentric circles around the Dwelling of the holy God. The numbers from chapter 1 are repeated, as are the names of leaders.
  2. Numbers 2:34 Did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses: the subject of strict obedience shown by the people of Israel in Num 1:54 is repeated here and greatly contrasts with their later rebellion.

The Arrangement of the Tribal Camps

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: “The Israelites are to camp around the tent of meeting some distance from it, each of them under their standard(A) and holding the banners of their family.”

On the east, toward the sunrise, the divisions of the camp of Judah are to encamp under their standard. The leader of the people of Judah is Nahshon son of Amminadab.(B) His division numbers 74,600.

The tribe of Issachar(C) will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Issachar is Nethanel son of Zuar.(D) His division numbers 54,400.

The tribe of Zebulun will be next. The leader of the people of Zebulun is Eliab son of Helon.(E) His division numbers 57,400.

All the men assigned to the camp of Judah, according to their divisions, number 186,400. They will set out first.(F)

10 On the south(G) will be the divisions of the camp of Reuben under their standard. The leader of the people of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur.(H) 11 His division numbers 46,500.

12 The tribe of Simeon(I) will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Simeon is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.(J) 13 His division numbers 59,300.

14 The tribe of Gad(K) will be next. The leader of the people of Gad is Eliasaph son of Deuel.[a](L) 15 His division numbers 45,650.

16 All the men assigned to the camp of Reuben,(M) according to their divisions, number 151,450. They will set out second.

17 Then the tent of meeting and the camp of the Levites(N) will set out in the middle of the camps. They will set out in the same order as they encamp, each in their own place under their standard.

18 On the west(O) will be the divisions of the camp of Ephraim(P) under their standard. The leader of the people of Ephraim is Elishama son of Ammihud.(Q) 19 His division numbers 40,500.

20 The tribe of Manasseh(R) will be next to them. The leader of the people of Manasseh is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.(S) 21 His division numbers 32,200.

22 The tribe of Benjamin(T) will be next. The leader of the people of Benjamin is Abidan son of Gideoni.(U) 23 His division numbers 35,400.

24 All the men assigned to the camp of Ephraim,(V) according to their divisions, number 108,100. They will set out third.(W)

25 On the north(X) will be the divisions of the camp of Dan under their standard.(Y) The leader of the people of Dan is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.(Z) 26 His division numbers 62,700.

27 The tribe of Asher will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Asher is Pagiel son of Okran.(AA) 28 His division numbers 41,500.

29 The tribe of Naphtali(AB) will be next. The leader of the people of Naphtali is Ahira son of Enan.(AC) 30 His division numbers 53,400.

31 All the men assigned to the camp of Dan number 157,600. They will set out last,(AD) under their standards.

32 These are the Israelites, counted according to their families.(AE) All the men in the camps, by their divisions, number 603,550.(AF) 33 The Levites, however, were not counted(AG) along with the other Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.

34 So the Israelites did everything the Lord commanded Moses; that is the way they encamped under their standards, and that is the way they set out, each of them with their clan and family.
