1Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2The children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers` houses: over against the tent of meeting shall they encamp round about. 3Those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be they of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 4His host, and those who were numbered of them, were seventy-four thousand six hundred. 5Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel the son of Zuar. 6His host, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-four thousand four hundred. 7The tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon. 8His host, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 9All who were numbered of the camp of Judah were one hundred eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their hosts.

They shall set forth second. 17Then the tent of meeting shall set forward, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place, by their standards. 18On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19His host, and those who were numbered of them, were forty thousand five hundred. 20Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the prince of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 21His host, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-two thousand and two hundred. 22The tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23His host, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-five thousand four hundred. 24All who were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were one hundred eight thousand one hundred, according to their hosts.
