## Israel Camped by Their Standards 

###### 1
Now Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 

###### 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. 

###### 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,

and his army, even their numbered men, 74,600. 

###### 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, 

###### 6
and his army, even his numbered men, 54,400. 

###### 7
_Then_ the tribe of Zebulun, and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon, 

###### 8
and his army, even his numbered men, 57,400. 

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

###### 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, 

###### 11
and his army, even his numbered men, 46,500. 

###### 12
And 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,

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

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

###### 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. 

###### 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: Elishama the son of Ammihud, 

###### 19

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

###### 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, 

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

###### 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, 

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

###### 29

###### 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. 

###### 33
The Levites, however, were not numbered among the sons of Israel, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 

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