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.
