1The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron: "1Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:
2The Israelites are to camp under their respective banners beside the flags of their ancestral houses. They are to camp around the tent of meeting at a distance from it: 2“When the Israelites set up camp, each tribe will be assigned its own area. The tribal divisions will camp beneath their family banners on all four sides of the Tabernacle, but at some distance from it.
3Judah's military divisions will camp on the east side toward the sunrise under their banner. The leader of the descendants of Judah is Nahshon son of Amminadab. 3“The divisions of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun are to camp toward the sunrise on the east side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab 74,600

9The total number in their military divisions who belong to Judah's encampment is 186,400; they will move out first. 9So the total of all the troops on Judah’s side of the camp is 186,400. These three tribes are to lead the way whenever the Israelites travel to a new campsite.

15His military division numbers 45,650. 15
16The total number in their military divisions who belong to Reuben's encampment is 151,450; they will move out second. 16So the total of all the troops on Reuben’s side of the camp is 151,450. These three tribes will be second in line whenever the Israelites travel.
17The tent of meeting is to move out with the Levites' camp, which is in the middle of the camps. They are to move out just as they camp, each in his place, with their banners. 17“Then the Tabernacle, carried by the Levites, will set out from the middle of the camp. All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner.
18Ephraim's military divisions will camp on the west side under their banner. The leader of the Ephraimites is Elishama son of Ammihud. 18“The divisions of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin are to camp on the west side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Ephraim Elishama son of Ammihud 40,500
19His military division numbers 40,500. 19
20The tribe of Manasseh will be next to it. The leader of the Manassites is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur. 20Manasseh Gamaliel son of Pedahzur 32,200

30His military division numbers 53,400. 30
31The total number who belong to Dan's encampment is 157,600; they are to move out last, with their banners." 31So the total of all the troops on Dan’s side of the camp is 157,600. These three tribes will be last, marching under their banners whenever the Israelites travel.”
32These are the Israelites registered by their ancestral houses. The total number in the camps by their military divisions is 603,550. 32In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550.
33But the Levites were not registered among the Israelites, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 33But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration.
34The Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses; they camped by their banners in this way and moved out the same way, each man by his clan and by his ancestral house. 34So the people of Israel did everything as the LORD had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the LORD had instructed them.
