1 The LORD gave Moses and Aaron the following instructions. 2 When the Israelites set up camp, each man will camp under the banner of his division and the flag of his own clan. The camp is to be set up all around the Tent. 3 On the east side, those under the banner of the division of Judah shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:\par\tab Tribe\tab\tab Leader\tab\tab Number\par\tab Judah\tab\tab Nahshon son of Amminadab\tab\tab 74,600\par\tab Issachar\tab\ 4 (SEE 2:3) 5 (SEE 2:3) 6 (SEE 2:3) 7 (SEE 2:3) 8 (SEE 2:3) 9 (SEE 2:3) 10 On the south, those under the banner of the division of Reuben shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:\par\tab Tribe\tab\tab Leader\tab\tab Number\par\tab Reuben\tab\tab Elizur son of Shedeur\tab\tab 46,500\par\tab Simeon\tab\tab She 11 (SEE 2:10) 12 (SEE 2:10) 13 (SEE 2:10) 14 (SEE 2:10) 15 (SEE 2:10) 16 (SEE 2:10) 17 Then, between the first two divisions and the last two the Levites are to march carrying the Tent. Each division shall march in the same order as they camp, each in position under its banner. 18 On the west, those under the banner of the division of Ephraim shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:\par\tab Tribe\tab\tab Leader\tab\tab Number\par\tab Ephraim\tab\tab Elishama son of Ammihud\tab\tab 40,500\par\tab Manasseh\tab\ta 19 (SEE 2:18) 20 (SEE 2:18) 21 (SEE 2:18) 22 (SEE 2:18) 23 (SEE 2:18) 24 (SEE 2:18) 25 On the north, those under the banner of the division of Dan shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:\par\tab Tribe\tab\tab Leader\tab\tab Number\par\tab Dan\tab\tab Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai\tab\tab 62,700\par\tab Asher\tab\tab Pagie 26 (SEE 2:25) 27 (SEE 2:25) 28 (SEE 2:25) 29 (SEE 2:25) 30 (SEE 2:25) 31 (SEE 2:25) 32 The total number of the people of Israel enrolled in the divisions, group by group, was 603,550. 33 As the LORD had commanded Moses, the Levites were not registered with the rest of the Israelites. 34 So the people of Israel did everything the LORD had commanded Moses. They camped, each under his own banner, and they marched, each with his own clan.
