And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.

15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.

16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.

18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.

31 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.

32 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses.

34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.

Ред и разположение в стана

И Господ каза на Мойсей и Аарон: „Нека израилтяните се разполагат на стан около скинията на събранието с лице към нея, като всеки застане под знамето си със знаците на семейството си.

На източната страна, под знамето на Юда, да застанат трите племена според мястото си в опълченията. Предводители да им бъдат: Наасон, Аминадавовият син – на Юдовите синове, с хората си, на брой седемдесет и четири хиляди и петстотин души. До него да се разположи на стан племето на Исахар. Предводител на Исахаровите синове да бъде Натанаил, Цуаровият син, с хората си, на брой петдесет и четири хиляди и четиристотин души. След това Завулоновото племе; предводител на Завулоновите синове да бъде Елиав, Хелоновият син, с хората си, на брой петдесет и седем хиляди и четиристотин души. Така всички преброени в стана на Юда според мястото им в опълченията бяха сто осемдесет и шест хиляди и четиристотин души. Те първи трябваше да потеглят.

10 На южната страна, под знамето на Рувим, да застанат трите племена според мястото си в опълченията. Предводител да им бъде Елицур, Шедеуровият син – на Рувимовите синове, 11 с хората си, на брой четиридесет и шест хиляди и петстотин души. 12 До него да се разположи на стан племето на Симеон. Предводител на Симеоновите синове да бъде Шелумиил, Цуришадаевият син, 13 с хората си, на брой петдесет и девет хиляди и триста души. 14 След това Гадовото племе; предводител на Гадовите синове да бъде Елиасаф, Регуиловият син, 15 с хората си, на брой четиридесет и пет хиляди и шестстотин и петдесет души. 16 Така всички преброени в стана на Рувим според мястото им в опълченията бяха сто петдесет и една хиляди четиристотин и петдесет души. Те втори трябваше да потеглят.

17 И когато скинията на събранието се вдигне, станът на левитите да е сред стана на останалите. Както са се разположили на стан, така и да се вдигат – всеки на своето място при знамето си.

18 На западната страна, под знамето на Ефрем, да застанат трите племена според мястото им в опълченията. Предводител да им бъде Елишама, Елиудовият син – на Ефремовите синове, 19 с хората си, на брой четиридесет хиляди и петстотин души. 20 До него да се разположи на стан племето на Манасия. Предводител на Манасиевите синове да бъде Гамалиил, Педацуровият син, 21 с хората си, на брой тридесет и две хиляди и двеста души. 22 След това Вениаминовото племе; предводител на Вениаминоновите синове да бъде Авидан, Гидеониевият син, 23 с хората си на брой тридесет и пет хиляди и четиристотин души. 24 Така всички преброени в стана на Ефрем според мястото им в опълченията бяха сто и осем хиляди и сто души. Те трети трябваше да потеглят.

25 На северната страна, под знамето на Дан, да застанат трите племена според мястото им в опълченията. Предводител да им бъде Ахиезер, Амишадаевият син – на Дановите синове, 26 с хората си, на брой шестдесет и две хиляди и седемстотин души. 27 До него да се разположи на стан племето на Асир. Предводител на Асировите синове да бъде Пагиил, Охрановият син, 28 с хората си, на брой четиридесет и една хиляди и петстотин души. 29 След това Нефталимовото племе; предводител на Нефталимовите синове да бъде Ахира, Енановият син, 30 с хората си, на брой петдесет и три хиляди и четиристотин души. 31 Така всички преброени в стана на Дан бяха сто петдесет и седем хиляди и шестстотин души. Те последни трябваше да потеглят под знамената си.“

32 Тези са преброените израилтяни според семействата им. Всички, които бяха преброени в становете според мястото им в опълченията, бяха шестстотин и три хиляди петстотин и петдесет души. 33 А левитите, както Господ бе заповядал на Мойсей, не бяха преброени заедно с израилтяните.

34 И така, израилтяните във всичко изпълняваха това, което Господ бе заповядал на Мойсей: така се разполагаха на стан при знамената си, така и потегляха – всеки според племето си, според семейството си.

The Tribes and Leaders by Armies

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: (A)“Everyone of the children of Israel shall camp by his own [a]standard, beside the emblems of his father’s house; they shall camp (B)some distance from the tabernacle of meeting. On the (C)east side, toward the rising of the sun, those of the standard of the forces with Judah shall camp according to their armies; and (D)Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be the leader of the children of Judah.” And his army was numbered at seventy-four thousand six hundred.

“Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar, and Nethanel the son of Zuar shall be the leader of the children of Issachar.” And his army was numbered at fifty-four thousand four hundred.

“Then comes the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the son of Helon shall be the leader of the children of Zebulun.” And his army was numbered at fifty-seven thousand four hundred. “All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Judah, one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred—(E)these shall [b]break camp first.

10 “On the (F)south side shall be the standard of the forces with Reuben according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.” 11 And his army was numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred.

12 “Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon, and the leader of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.” 13 And his army was numbered at fifty-nine thousand three hundred.

14 “Then comes the tribe of Gad, and the leader of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of [c]Reuel.” 15 And his army was numbered at forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 16 “All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Reuben, one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty—(G)they shall [d]be the second to break camp.

17 (H)“And the tabernacle of meeting shall move out with the [e]camp of the Levites (I)in the middle of the [f]camps; as they camp, so they shall move out, everyone in his place, by their [g]standards.

18 “On the west side shall be the standard of the forces with Ephraim according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.” 19 And his army was numbered at forty thousand five hundred.

20 “Next to him comes the tribe of Manasseh, and the leader of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.” 21 And his army was numbered at thirty-two thousand two hundred.

22 “Then comes the tribe of Benjamin, and the leader of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.” 23 And his army was numbered at thirty-five thousand four hundred. 24 “All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Ephraim, one hundred and eight thousand one hundred—(J)they shall [h]be the third to break camp.

25 “The [i]standard of the forces with Dan shall be on the north side according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.” 26 And his army was numbered at sixty-two thousand seven hundred.

27 “Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, and the leader of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.” 28 And his army was numbered at forty-one thousand five hundred.

29 “Then comes the tribe of Naphtali, and the leader of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.” 30 And his army was numbered at fifty-three thousand four hundred. 31 “All who were numbered of the forces with Dan, one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred—(K)they shall [j]break camp last, with their [k]standards.”

32 These are the ones who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses. (L)All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 33 But (M)the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

34 Thus the children of Israel (N)did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses; (O)so they camped by their [l]standards and so they broke camp, each one by his family, according to their fathers’ houses.
