A ordem das tribos no acampamento

O Senhor Deus disse a Moisés e a Arão o seguinte:

— Quando os israelitas armarem o acampamento, cada um ficará perto da bandeira do seu grupo e do estandarte do seu grupo de famílias. Eles acamparão em volta da Tenda Sagrada e de frente para ela.

3-4 — Do lado leste acamparão os exércitos que marcham debaixo da bandeira da tribo de Judá. O exército de Judá tem setenta e quatro mil e seiscentos homens, e o chefe é Nasom, filho de Aminadabe. 5-6 Ao lado deles acampará o exército da tribo de Issacar. Esse exército tem cinquenta e quatro mil e quatrocentos homens, e o chefe é Netanel, filho de Zuar. 7-8 Acampará com eles também o exército da tribo de Zebulom. Esse exército tem cinquenta e sete mil e quatrocentos homens, e o chefe é Eliabe, filho de Helom. O grupo de Judá, num total de cento e oitenta e seis mil e quatrocentos homens, marchará primeiro.

10-11 — Do lado sul acamparão os exércitos que marcham debaixo da bandeira da tribo de Rúben. O exército de Rúben tem quarenta e seis mil e quinhentos homens, e o seu chefe é Elisur, filho de Sedeur. 12-13 Ao lado deles acampará o exército da tribo de Simeão. Esse exército tem cinquenta e nove mil e trezentos homens, e o chefe é Selumiel, filho de Zurisadai. 14-15 Acampará com eles também o exército da tribo de Gade. Esse exército tem quarenta e cinco mil seiscentos e cinquenta homens, e o chefe é Eliasafe, filho de Deuel. 16 O grupo de Rúben, num total de cento e cinquenta e um mil quatrocentos e cinquenta homens, marchará em segundo lugar.

17 — Entre os primeiros dois grupos e os dois últimos, marcharão os levitas, levando a Tenda. Os grupos marcharão na mesma ordem em que acamparem, cada um no seu lugar, seguindo a sua bandeira.

18-19 — Do lado oeste acamparão os exércitos que marcham debaixo da bandeira da tribo de Efraim. O exército de Efraim tem quarenta mil e quinhentos homens, e o chefe é Elisama, filho de Amiúde. 20-21 Ao lado deles acampará o exército da tribo de Manassés. Esse exército tem trinta e dois mil e duzentos homens, e o chefe é Gamaliel, filho de Pedasur. 22-23 Acampará com eles também o exército da tribo de Benjamim. Esse exército tem trinta e cinco mil e quatrocentos homens, e o chefe é Abidã, filho de Gideoni. 24 O grupo de Efraim, num total de cento e oito mil e cem homens, marchará em terceiro lugar.

25-26 — Do lado norte acamparão os exércitos que marcham debaixo da bandeira da tribo de Dã. O exército de Dã tem sessenta e dois mil e setecentos homens, e o chefe é Aiezer, filho de Amisadai. 27-28 Ao lado deles acampará o exército da tribo de Aser. Esse exército tem quarenta e um mil e quinhentos homens, e o chefe é Pagiel, filho de Ocrã. 29-30 Acampará com eles também o exército da tribo de Naftali. Esse exército tem cinquenta e três mil e quatrocentos homens, e o chefe é Aira, filho de Enã. 31 O grupo de Dã, num total de cento e cinquenta e sete mil e seiscentos homens, marchará por último.

32 O número total dos homens de Israel registrados nos exércitos, grupo por grupo, foi de seiscentos e três mil quinhentos e cinquenta. 33 Como o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés, os levitas não foram contados com os outros israelitas.

34 Assim, o povo de Israel fez tudo como o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés. Eles acamparam, cada grupo debaixo da sua própria bandeira, e cada israelita começou a marchar com o seu grupo de famílias.

The Order of Encampment and Marching

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “The people of Israel shall encamp each by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers’ houses; they shall encamp facing the tent of meeting on every side. Those to encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah by their companies, the leader of the people of Judah being Nahshon the son of Ammin′adab, his host as numbered being seventy-four thousand six hundred. Those to encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Is′sachar, the leader of the people of Is′sachar being Nethan′el the son of Zu′ar, his host as numbered being fifty-four thousand four hundred. Then the tribe of Zeb′ulun, the leader of the people of Zeb′ulun being Eli′ab the son of Helon, his host as numbered being fifty-seven thousand four hundred. The whole number of the camp of Judah, by their companies, is a hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred. They shall set out first on the march.

10 “On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben by their companies, the leader of the people of Reuben being Eli′zur the son of Shed′eur, 11 his host as numbered being forty-six thousand five hundred. 12 And those to encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon, the leader of the people of Simeon being Shelu′mi-el the son of Zurishad′dai, 13 his host as numbered being fifty-nine thousand three hundred. 14 Then the tribe of Gad, the leader of the people of Gad being Eli′asaph the son of Reu′el, 15 his host as numbered being forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 16 The whole number of the camp of Reuben, by their companies, is a hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty. They shall set out second.

17 “Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they encamp, so shall they set out, each in position, standard by standard.

18 “On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of E′phraim by their companies, the leader of the people of E′phraim being Elish′ama the son of Ammi′hud, 19 his host as numbered being forty thousand five hundred. 20 And next to him shall be the tribe of Manas′seh, the leader of the people of Manas′seh being Gama′liel the son of Pedah′zur, 21 his host as numbered being thirty-two thousand two hundred. 22 Then the tribe of Benjamin, the leader of the people of Benjamin being Abi′dan the son of Gideo′ni, 23 his host as numbered being thirty-five thousand four hundred. 24 The whole number of the camp of E′phraim, by their companies, is a hundred and eight thousand one hundred. They shall set out third on the march.

25 “On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan by their companies, the leader of the people of Dan being Ahi-e′zer the son of Ammishad′dai, 26 his host as numbered being sixty-two thousand seven hundred. 27 And those to encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, the leader of the people of Asher being Pa′giel the son of Ochran, 28 his host as numbered being forty-one thousand five hundred. 29 Then the tribe of Naph′tali, the leader of the people of Naph′tali being Ahi′ra the son of Enan, 30 his host as numbered being fifty-three thousand four hundred. 31 The whole number of the camp of Dan is a hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set out last, standard by standard.”

32 These are the people of Israel as numbered by their fathers’ houses; all in the camps who were numbered by their companies were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 33 But the Levites were not numbered among the people of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses.

34 Thus did the people of Israel. According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set out, every one in his family, according to his fathers’ house.

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.
