“1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 Every man
of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the
ensign of their father’s house: far off about the tabernacle of the
congregation shall they pitch.”
“3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the
standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon
the son of Amminadab [shall be] captain of the children of Judah. 4 And
his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were] threescore and
fourteen thousand and six hundred. 5 And those that do pitch next unto
him [shall be] the tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar
[shall be] captain of the children of Issachar. 6 And his host, and
those that were numbered thereof, [were] fifty and four thousand and
four hundred. 7 [Then] the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon
[shall be] captain of the children of Zebulun. 8 And his host, and those
that were numbered thereof, [were] fifty and seven thousand and four
hundred. 9 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah [were] an hundred
thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred,
throughout their armies. These shall first set forth. 10 On the south
side [shall be] the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their
armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben [shall be] Elizur the
son of Shedeur. 11 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof,
[were] forty and six thousand and five hundred. 12 And those which pitch
by him [shall be] the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children
of Simeon [shall be] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13 And his host,
and those that were numbered of them, [were] fifty and nine thousand and
three hundred. 14 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of
Gad [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15 And his host, and those
that were numbered of them, [were] forty and five thousand and six
hundred and fifty. 16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben
[were] an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred
and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the
second rank. 17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set
forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they
encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their
standards. 18 On the west side [shall be] the standard of the camp of
Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of
Ephraim [shall be] Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19 And his host, and
those that were numbered of them, [were] forty thousand and five
hundred. 20 And by him [shall be] the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain
of the children of Manasseh [shall be] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 21
And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were] thirty and
two thousand and two hundred. 22 Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the

And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were] thirty and
five thousand and four hundred. 24 All that were numbered of the camp of
Ephraim [were] an hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred,
throughout their armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank. 25
The standard of the camp of Dan [shall be] on the north side by their
armies: and the captain of the children of Dan [shall be] Ahiezer the
son of Ammishaddai. 26 And his host, and those that were numbered of
them, [were] threescore and two thousand and seven hundred. 27 And those
that encamp by him [shall be] the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the
children of Asher [shall be] Pagiel the son of Ocran. 28 And his host,
and those that were numbered of them, [were] forty and one thousand and
five hundred. 29 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the

and those that were numbered of them, [were] fifty and three thousand
and four hundred. 31 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan
[were] an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred.
They shall go hindmost with their standards. 32 These [are] those which
were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers:
all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts [were]
six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 33
But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the
LORD commanded Moses. 34 And the children of Israel did according to all
that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and
so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the
house of their fathers.” (Nu 2:1-34 AV)
