Numbers 2

The Tribes and Leaders by Armies

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

Organization for Israel’s Camp

Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:

“Everyone of the children of Israel shall camp by his own [a]standard, beside the emblems of his father’s house; they shall camp some distance from the tabernacle of meeting.

“When the Israelites set up camp, each tribe will be assigned its own area. The tribal divisions will camp beneath their family banners on all four sides of the Tabernacle,a but at some distance from it.

“All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Judah, one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred — these shall [b]break camp 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 who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Reuben, one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty — they shall [d]be the second to break camp.

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.

“And the tabernacle of meeting shall move out with the [e]camp of the Levites in the middle of the [f]camps; as they camp, so they shall move out, everyone in his place, by their [g]standards.

“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 who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Ephraim, one hundred and eight thousand one hundred — they shall [h]be the third to break camp.

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 who were numbered of the forces with Dan, one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred — they shall [j]break camp last, with their [k]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 ones who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses. All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.

In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550.

But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration.

Thus the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses; so they camped by their [l]standards and so they broke camp, each one by his family, according to their fathers’ houses.

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.
