The wilderness camp’s arrangement

The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: The Israelites will camp each under the banner with the symbol of their household. They will camp around the meeting tent some distance from it.

The camp’s center

17 The meeting tent and the Levites’ camp will march in the center of the camps. They will march in the same order as they camp: each in position under his banner.

They will march last under their banners.

32 These are the enlisted Israelites by their households. The total enlisted in the camps with their military units is 603,550. 33 But the Levites weren’t enlisted among the Israelites, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 34 The Israelites did everything exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses: they camped under their banners and they marched by their clans and by their households.

Raspored taborovanja i kretanja

BOG je rekao Mojsiju i Aronu: »Neka se Izraelci utabore oko Šatora sastanka, ali podalje. Svaka skupina neka bude pod zastavom koja označava obitelj njihovih predaka.

Neka se na istoku, pod svojom zastavom, utabore postrojbe Judinog tabora. Glavar je Judinog naroda Nahšon, Aminadabov sin, a njegova postrojba broji 74.600 ljudi.

Do njih neka se utabori Isakarovo pleme. Glavar je Isakarovog naroda Netanel, Suarov sin, a njegova postrojba broji 54.400 ljudi.

Zatim slijedi Zebulunovo pleme. Glavar je Zebulunovog naroda Eliab, Helonov sin, a njegova postrojba broji 57.400 ljudi.

Ukupan broj ljudi dodijeljen Judinom taboru, prema postrojbama, iznosi 186.400. Kad krene cijeli narod, oni neka idu prvi.

10 Neka na jugu, pod svojom zastavom, budu postrojbe Rubenovog tabora. Glavar je Rubenovog naroda Elisur, Šedeurov sin, 11 a njegova postrojba broji 46.500 ljudi.

12 Do njih neka se utabori Šimunovo pleme. Glavar je Šimunovog naroda Šelumiel, Surišadajev sin, 13 a njegova postrojba broji 59.300 ljudi.

14 Zatim slijedi Gadovo pleme. Glavar je Gadovog naroda Eliasaf, Reuelov[a] sin, 15 a njegova postrojba broji 45.650 ljudi.

16 Ukupan broj ljudi dodijeljen Rubenovom taboru, prema postrojbama, iznosi 151.450. Pri pokretu cijelog naroda, oni kreću drugi.

17 Za njima kreće tabor Levita, noseći Šator sastanka u središtu drugih tabora. Tabori moraju kretati istim redoslijedom kojim se utaboruju, svaki sa svog mjesta i pod svojom zastavom.

18 Neka na zapadu, pod svojom zastavom, budu vojske Efrajimovog tabora. Glavar je Efrajimovog naroda Elišama, Amihudov sin, 19 a njegova postrojba broji 40.500 ljudi.

20 Do njih neka bude Manašeovo pleme. Glavar je Manašeovog naroda Gamliel, Pedahsurov sin, 21 a njegova postrojba broji 32.200 ljudi.

22 Zatim slijedi Benjaminovo pleme. Glavar je Benjaminovog naroda Abidan, Gidonijev sin, 23 a njegova postrojba broji 35.400 ljudi.

24 Ukupan broj ljudi dodijeljen Efrajimovom taboru, prema postrojbama, iznosi 108.100. Pri pokretu cijelog naroda, oni kreću treći.

25 Neka na sjeveru, pod svojom zastavom, budu vojske Danovog tabora. Glavar je Danovog naroda Ahiezer, Amišadajev sin, 26 a njegova postrojba broji 62.700 ljudi.

27 Do njih neka se utabori Ašerovo pleme. Glavar je Ašerovog naroda Pagiel, Okranov sin, 28 a njegova postrojba broji 41.500 ljudi.

29 Zatim slijedi Naftalijevo pleme. Glavar je Naftalijevog naroda Ahira, Enanov sin, 30 a njegova postrojba broji 53.400 ljudi.

31 Ukupan broj ljudi dodijeljen Danovom taboru, prema postrojbama, iznosi 157.600. Pri pokretu cijelog naroda, oni kreću posljednji, pod svojom zastavom.«

32 Bili su to Izraelci, prebrojani prema obiteljima svojih predaka. Ukupan broj muškaraca u taborima, prema postrojbama, iznosi 603.550. 33 No Leviti nisu prebrojani s ostalim Izraelcima, kao što je BOG zapovjedio Mojsiju.

34 Tako su Izraelci učinili sve što je BOG zapovjedio Mojsiju. Tako su postavljali tabore pod svojim zastavama i tako su kretali na put, svako sa svojim plemenom i obitelji.

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.

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.

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.
