The Arrangement of the Tribal Camps
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
Organization for Israel’s Camp
Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:
Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:
“The Israelites are to camp around the tent of meeting some distance from it, each of them under their standard and holding the banners of their family.”
All the men assigned to the camp of Judah, according to their divisions, number 186,400. They will set out first.
So the total of all the troops on Judah’s side of the camp is 186,400. These three tribes are to lead the way whenever the Israelites travel to a new campsite.
All the men assigned to the camp of Reuben, according to their divisions, number 151,450. They will set out second.
So the total of all the troops on Reuben’s side of the camp is 151,450. These three tribes will be second in line whenever the Israelites travel.
Then the tent of meeting and the camp of the Levites will set out in the middle of the camps. They will set out in the same order as they encamp, each in their own place under their standard.
“Then the Tabernacle, carried by the Levites, will set out from the middle of the camp. All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner.
All the men assigned to the camp of Ephraim, according to their divisions, number 108,100. They will set out third.
So the total of all the troops on Ephraim’s side of the camp is 108,100. These three tribes will be third in line whenever the Israelites travel.
All the men assigned to the camp of Dan number 157,600. They will set out last, under their standards.
So the total of all the troops on Dan’s side of the camp is 157,600. These three tribes will be last, marching under their banners whenever the Israelites travel.”
These are the Israelites, counted according to their families. All the men in the camps, by their divisions, number 603,550.
In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550.
The Levites, however, were not counted along with the other Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.
But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration.
So the Israelites did everything the Lord commanded Moses; that is the way they encamped under their standards, and that is the way they set out, each of them with their clan and family.
So the people of Israel did everything as the LORD had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the LORD had instructed them.
