1
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2
"Everyone of the children of Israel shall camp by his own standard, beside the emblems of his father's house; they shall camp some distance from the tabernacle of meeting.
3
On the east side, toward the rising of the sun, those of the standard of the forces with Judah shall camp according to their armies; and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be the leader of the children of Judah."
4
And his army was numbered at seventy-four thousand six hundred.
5
"Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar, and Nethanel the son of Zuar shall be the leader of the children of Issachar."
6
And his army was numbered at fifty-four thousand four hundred.
7
"Then comes the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the son of Helon shall be the leader of the children of Zebulun."
8
And his army was numbered at fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
9
"All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Judah, one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred--these shall break camp first.
10
"On the south side shall be the standard of the forces with Reuben according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur."
11
And his army was numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred.
