1Then AO said to Moses and Aaron:
2“The Israelites are to camp each [man] under his standard with the banners of his family around the Tent of Meeting at a distance from it.
3On the east side toward the sunrise under their standard the divisions of Judah are to camp. The leader of the descendants of Judah is Nanshon son of Amminadab

8and his division numbers 57,400.
9The total number of men of the camp of Judah is 186,400 under their standard: they shall set out first.
10On the south side the divisions of Reuben are to camp under their standard: The leader of the Reubenites is Elizur son of Shedeur
11and his division numbers 46,500.
12The tribe of Simeon will camp next to it. The leader of the Simeonites is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai
13and his division numbers 59,300.
14[Next will be] the tribe of Gad. The leader of the Gadites is Eliasaph son of Deuel
15and his division numbers 45,650.
16The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Reuben is 151,450; they shall set out second.
17In the middle of the camps the Tent of Meeting is to travel with the camp of the Levites Ephrathites. They are to set out each in his own place under his standard.
18On the west side are to camp the divisions of Ephraim under their standard: The leader of the Ephraimites is Elishama son of Ammihud
19and his division numbers 40,500.
20The tribe of Manasseh will be next to it. The leader of the Manassites is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur
21and his division numbers 32,200.
22[Next will be] the tribe of Benjamin. The leader of the Benjamites is Abidan son of Gideoni
23and his division numbers 35,400.
24The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Ephraim [is] 108,100; they shall set out third.
25On the north side the divisions of Dan are to camp. The leader of the Danites is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai
26and his division numbers 62,700.
27The tribe of Asher will camp next to it. The leader of the Asherites is Pagiel son of Ocran

30and his division numbers 53,400.
31The total number of men in the camp of Dan is 157,600; they shall set out last under their standards.”
32These are the Israelites numbered according to their families. The total of those counted in the camps by their divisions was 603,550.
33But the Levites Ephrathites were not counted among the other Israelites as AO had commanded Moses.
34So the Israelites did everything AO commanded Moses; in this way they camped under their standards and set out in the same way, each man with his clan and his family.
