The Arrangement of Tribes in Camp

2The Lord gave Moses and Aaron the following instructions. 2When the Israelites set up camp, each man will camp under the banner of his division and the flag of his own clan. The camp is to be set up all round the Tent.

3–9On the east side, those under the banner of the division of Judah shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:

The division of Judah shall march first.

10–16On the south, those under the banner of the division of Reuben shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:

17Then, between the first two divisions and the last two the Levites are to march carrying the Tent. Each division shall march in the same order as they camp, each in position under its banner.

18–24On the west, those under the banner of the division of Ephraim shall camp in their groups, under their leaders, as follows:

The division of Dan shall march last.

32The total number of the people of Israel enrolled in the divisions, group by group, was 603,550. 33As the Lord had commanded Moses, the Levites were not registered with the rest of the Israelites.

34So the people of Israel did everything the Lord had commanded Moses. They camped, each under his own banner, and they marched, each with his own clan.
