2:1  Now the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2:2  "The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance.

2:3  "Now those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise {shall be} of the standard of the camp of Judah, by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab,

2:4  and his army, even their numbered men, 74,600.

2:5  "Those who camp next to him {shall be} the tribe of Issachar, and the leader of the sons of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar,

2:6  and his army, even their numbered men, 54,400.

2:7  "{Then comes} the tribe of Zebulun, and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon,

2:8  and his army, even his numbered men, 57,400.

2:9  "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah: 186,400, by their armies. They shall set out first.

2:10  "On the south side {shall be} the standard of the camp of Reuben by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur,

2:11  and his army, even their numbered men, 46,500.

2:12  "Those who camp next to him {shall be} the tribe of Simeon, and the leader of the sons of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai,

2:13  and his army, even their numbered men, 59,300.

2:14  "Then {comes} the tribe of Gad, and the leader of the sons of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel,

2:15  and his army, even their numbered men, 45,650.

2:16  "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Reuben: 151,450 by their armies. And they shall set out second.

2:17  "Then the tent of meeting shall set out {with} the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; just as they camp, so they shall set out, every man in his place by their standards.

2:18  "On the west side {shall be} the standard of the camp of Ephraim by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Ephraim {shall be} Elishama the son of Ammihud,

2:19  and his army, even their numbered men, 40,500.

2:20  "Next to him {shall be} the tribe of Manasseh, and the leader of the sons of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur,

2:21  and his army, even their numbered men, 32,200.

2:22  "Then {comes} the tribe of Benjamin, and the leader of the sons of Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni,

2:23  and his army, even their numbered men, 35,400.

2:24  "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Ephraim: 108,100, by their armies. And they shall set out third.

2:25  "On the north side {shall be} the standard of the camp of Dan by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Dan: Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai,

2:26  and his army, even their numbered men, 62,700.

2:27  "Those who camp next to him {shall be} the tribe of Asher, and the leader of the sons of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran,

2:28  and his army, even their numbered men, 41,500.

2:29  "Then {comes} the tribe of Naphtali, and the leader of the sons of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan,

2:30  and his army, even their numbered men, 53,400.

2:31  "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan {was} 157,600. They shall set out last by their standards."

2:32  These are the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers' households; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550.

2:33  The Levites, however, were not numbered among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

2:34  Thus the sons of Israel did; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, every one by his family according to his father's household.
