from twenty years old and above—all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies;

The Tribes and Leaders by Armies

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

On the east side, toward the rising of the sun, those of the standard of the forces with Judah shall camp according to their armies; and 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.

And his army was numbered at fifty-four thousand four hundred.

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—these shall break camp first.

“On the 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.”

And his army was numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred.

And his army was numbered at fifty-nine thousand three hundred.

And his army was numbered at forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.

“All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Reuben, one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty—they shall be the second to break camp.

“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.”
