2:1  Now the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2:2  “The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own flag, 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 flag 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, 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, their numbered men: 54,400.
2:7  Then follows the tribe of Zebulun; and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon,
2:8  and his army, his numbered men: 57,400.

2:14  Then follows the tribe of Gad; and the leader of the sons of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel,
2:15  and his army, 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 flags.
2:18  “On the west side shall be the flag of the camp of Ephraim by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Ephraim: Elishama the son of Ammihud,
2:19  and his army, 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, their numbered men, 32,200.
2:22  Then follows the tribe of Benjamin; and the leader of the sons of Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni,
2:23  and his army, 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 flag 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, 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, their numbered men: 41,500.
2:29  Then follows the tribe of Naphtali; and the leader of the sons of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan,
2:30  and his army, 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 flags.”
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 counted among the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2:34  So the sons of Israel did all this; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they camped by their flags, and so they set out, everyone by his family according to his father’s household.
