Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:
Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:
Arrangement of the Camps
Now the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Now the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
“The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers’ households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance.
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.
“The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah: 186,400, by their armies. They shall set out first.
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.
“The total of the numbered men of the camp of Reuben: 151,450 by their armies. And they shall set out second.
“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.
“Then the tent of meeting shall set out with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; just as they camp, so they shall set out, every man in his place by their standards.
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.
“The total of the numbered men of the camp of Ephraim: 108,100, by their armies. And they shall set out third.
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.”
“The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600. They shall set out last by their standards.”
In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550.
These are the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers’ households; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550.
But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration.
The Levites, however, were not numbered among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
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.
Thus the sons of Israel did; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, every one by his family according to his father’s household.
