Chapter 2[a]
Placement of the Tribal Camps. 1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 “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.
3 “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. 4 His forces numbered seventy-four thousand, six hundred. 5 The tribe of Issachar will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Issachar is Nethanel, the son of Zuar. 6 His forces numbered fifty-four thousand, four hundred. 7 Then there is the tribe of Zebulun. The leader of the tribe of Zebulun is Eliab, the son of Helon. 8 His forces numbered fifty-seven thousand, four hundred. 9 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.

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
- 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.
- 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
2 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 2 “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.”

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.

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.

Ubicación de cada tribu
2 El Señor dio también estas instrucciones a Moisés y Aarón: 2 «Cada tribu tendrá su propio campamento, con un mástil y la bandera de la tribu; y en el centro de estos campamentos estará el santuario».
3-31 La ubicación de las tribus:
Campamento del este
| Tribu | Jefe | Situación | Censo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Judá | Naasón (hijo de Aminadab) | Al este del santuario | 74.600 |
| Isacar | Natanael (hijo de Zuar) | Junto a Judá | 54.400 |
| Zabulón | Eliab (hijo de Helón) | Junto a Isacar | 57.400 |
El total de los que estaban en el campamento junto a Judá era de ciento ochenta y seis mil cuatrocientos. Estas tribus abrían la marcha siempre que los israelitas tenían que trasladar el campamento.
Campamento del sur
| Tribu | Jefe | Situación | Censo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rubén | Elisur (hijo de Sedeúr) | Al sur del santuario | 46.500 |
| Simeón | Selumiel (hijo de Zurisaday) | Junto a Rubén | 59.300 |
| Gad | Eliasaf (hijo de Reuel [o Deuel]) | Junto a Simeón | 45.650 |
Así que el total de los que estaban en el campamento junto a Rubén era de ciento cincuenta y un mil cuatrocientos cincuenta. Estas tres tribus eran las segundas en marchar cuando los israelitas viajaban.
Luego seguía el santuario con los levitas. Durante los viajes, cada tribu se mantenía en torno a su bandera, conservando el lugar, el orden y la distancia que había entre cada una cuando acampaban.
Campamento del oeste
| Tribu | Jefe | Situación | Censo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Efraín | Elisama (hijo de Amiud) | Al oeste del santuario | 40.500 |
| Manasés | Gamaliel (hijo de Pedasur) | Junto a Efraín | 32.200 |
| Benjamín | Abidán (hijo de Gedeoni) | Junto a Manasés | 35.400 |
El total de los que estaban en el campamento junto a Efraín era de ciento ocho mil cien, y eran los terceros en marchar.
Campamento del norte
| Tribu | Jefe | Situación | Censo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dan | Ajiezer (hijo de Amisaday) | Al norte del santuario | 62.700 |
| Aser | Paguiel (hijo de Ocrán) | Junto a Dan | 41.500 |
| Neftalí | Ajira (hijo de Enán) | Junto a Aser | 53.400 |
El total de los que estaban en el campamento junto a Dan era de ciento cincuenta y siete mil seiscientos. Estos cerraban la marcha cuando Israel se trasladaba.
32-33 En resumen, los ejércitos de Israel sumaban seiscientos tres mil quinientos cincuenta (sin incluir a los levitas, que quedaban exentos por el mandamiento que el Señor le había dado a Moisés).
34 Así pues, el pueblo de Israel asentó sus campamentos situándose y marchando cada tribu bajo su bandera, en los lugares que el Señor le había indicado a Moisés.
