Numbers
2 Jehovah now spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 “The Israelites should encamp where their three-tribe division+ is assigned, each man near the banner* of his paternal house. They should camp facing the tent of meeting, all around it.
3 “Those camping on the east side, toward the sunrise, will be the three-tribe division of the encampment of Judah by their companies;* the chieftain for the sons of Judah is Nahʹshon+ the son of Am·minʹa·dab. 4 Those registered in his army are 74,600.+ 5 Camping alongside him will be the tribe of Isʹsa·char; the chieftain for the sons of Isʹsa·char is Ne·thanʹel+ the son of Zuʹar. 6 Those registered in his army are 54,400.+ 7 Next is the tribe of Zebʹu·lun; the chieftain for the sons of Zebʹu·lun is E·liʹab+ the son of Heʹlon. 8 Those registered in his army are 57,400.+
9 “All those registered in the armies of the camp of Judah are 186,400. They should break camp first.+
10 “The three-tribe division of the encampment of Reuʹben+ by their companies* will be toward the south; the chieftain for the sons of Reuʹben is E·liʹzur+ the son of Shedʹe·ur. 11 Those registered in his army are 46,500.+ 12 Camping alongside him will be the tribe of Simʹe·on; the chieftain for the sons of Simʹe·on is She·luʹmi·el+ the son of Zu·ri·shadʹdai. 13 Those registered in his army are 59,300.+ 14 Next is the tribe of Gad; the chieftain for the sons of Gad is E·liʹa·saph+ the son of Reuʹel. 15 Those registered in his army are 45,650.+
16 “All those registered in the armies of the camp of Reuʹben are 151,450, and they should break camp second.+
17 “When the tent of meeting is moved,+ the camp of the Levites should be in the middle of the other camps.
“They should travel in the same order as they encamp,+ with each in his place, according to their three-tribe divisions.
18 “The three-tribe division of the encampment of Eʹphra·im by their companies* will be toward the west; the chieftain for the sons of Eʹphra·im is E·lishʹa·ma+ the son of Am·miʹhud. 19 Those registered in his army are 40,500.+ 20 Next to him will be the tribe of Ma·nasʹseh;+ the chieftain for the sons of Ma·nasʹseh is Ga·maʹli·el+ the son of Pe·dahʹzur. 21 Those registered in his army are 32,200.+ 22 Next is the tribe of Benjamin; the chieftain for the sons of Benjamin is Abʹi·dan+ the son of Gid·e·oʹni. 23 Those registered in his army are 35,400.+
24 “All those registered in the armies of the camp of Eʹphra·im are 108,100, and they should break camp third.+
25 “The three-tribe division of the encampment of Dan by their companies* will be toward the north; the chieftain for the sons of Dan is A·hi·eʹzer+ the son of Am·mi·shadʹdai. 26 Those registered in his army are 62,700.+ 27 Camping alongside him will be the tribe of Ashʹer; the chieftain for the sons of Ashʹer is Paʹgi·el+ the son of Ochʹran. 28 Those registered in his army are 41,500.+ 29 Next is the tribe of Naphʹta·li; the chieftain for the sons of Naphʹta·li is A·hiʹra+ the son of Eʹnan. 30 Those registered in his army are 53,400.+
31 “All those registered in the camp of Dan are 157,600. They should break camp last,+ according to their three-tribe divisions.”
32 These were the Israelites who were registered according to their paternal houses; the total of those in the camps registered for the army was 603,550.+ 33 But the Levites did not get registered+ along with the other Israelites,+ just as Jehovah had commanded Moses. 34 The Israelites did everything that Jehovah had commanded Moses. This is how they encamped by their three-tribe divisions+ and how they broke camp,+ each by family and according to their paternal houses.
