Order of the Camps 1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, 2'Each by his standard, with ensigns of the house of their fathers, do the sons of Israel encamp; over-against round about the tent of meeting they encamp.' 3And those encamping eastward towards the sun-rising, are of the standard of the camp of Judah, by their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Judah is Nahshon, son of Amminadab; 4and his host, and their numbered ones, are four and seventy thousand and six hundred. 5And those encamping by him are of the tribe of Issachar; and the prince of the sons of Issachar is Nethaneel son of Zuar; 6and his host, and its numbered ones, are four and fifty thousand and four hundred. 7The tribe of Zebulun; and the prince of the sons of Zebulun is Eliab son of Helon; 8and his host, and its numbered ones, are seven and fifty thousand and four hundred; 9all those numbered of the camp of Judah are a hundred thousand, and eighty thousand, and six thousand, and four hundred, by their hosts; they journey first. 10The standard of the camp of Reuben is southward, by their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur; 11and his host, and its numbered ones, are six and forty thousand and five hundred. 12And those encamping by him are of the tribe of Simeon; and the prince of the sons of Simeon is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai; 13and his host, and their numbered ones, are nine and fifty thousand and three hundred. 14And the tribe of Gad; and the prince of the sons of Gad is Eliasaph son of Reuel; 15and his host, and their numbered ones, are five and forty thousand and six hundred and fifty. 16All those numbered of the camp of Reuben are a hundred thousand, and one and fifty thousand, and four hundred and fifty, by their hosts; and they journey second. 17And the tent of meeting -- the camp of the Levites -- hath journeyed in the midst of the camps; as they encamp so they journey, each at his station by their standards. 18The standard of the camp of Ephraim, by their hosts, is westward; and the prince of the sons of Ephraim is Elishama son of Ammihud; 19and his host, and their numbered ones, are forty thousand and five hundred. 20And by him is the tribe of Manasseh; and the prince of the sons of Manasseh is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur; 21and his host, and their numbered ones, are two and thirty thousand, and two hundred. 22And the tribe of Benjamin; and the prince of the sons of Benjamin is Abidan son of Gideoni; 23and his host, and their numbered ones, are five and thirty thousand and four hundred. 24All those numbered of the camp of Ephraim are a hundred thousand, and eight thousand, and a hundred, by their hosts; and they journey third. 25The standard of the camp of Dan is northward, by their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Dan is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai; 26and his host, and their numbered ones, are two and sixty thousand and seven hundred. 27And those encamping by him are of the tribe of Asher; and the prince of the sons of Asher is Pagiel son of Ocran; 28and his host, and their numbered ones, are one and forty thousand and five hundred. 29And the tribe of Naphtali; and the prince of the sons of Naphtali is Ahira son of Enan; 30and his host, and their numbered ones, are three and fifty thousand and four hundred. 31All those numbered of the camp of Dan are a hundred thousand, and seven and fifty thousand, and six hundred; at the rear they journey, by their standards. 32These are those numbered of the sons of Israel by the house of their fathers; all those numbered of the camps by their hosts are six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty. 33And the Levites have not numbered themselves in the midst of the sons of Israel, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 34And the sons of Israel do according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses; so they have encamped by their standards, and so they have journeyed; each by his families, by the house of his fathers. |
