Numbers 2:1-34
2 Jehovah now spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 “The sons of Israel should encamp, each man by his [three-tribe] division,+ by the signs* for the house of their fathers. Round about in front of the tent of meeting they should encamp.
3 “And those camping eastward toward the sunrising will be the [three-tribe] division of the camp of Judah in their armies, and the chieftain for the sons of Judah is Nahʹshon+ the son of Am·minʹa·dab.

8 And his army and his registered ones are fifty-seven thousand four hundred.+
9 “All the registered ones of the camp of Judah are one hundred eighty-six thousand four hundred in their armies. They should set out first.+

15 And his army and the ones registered of them are forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.+
16 “All the registered ones of the camp of Reuʹben are one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty in their armies, and they should set out second.+
17 “When the tent of meeting+ must set out, the camp of the Levites+ will be in the middle of the camps.
“Just as they should encamp, so they should set out,+ each one at his place, according to their [three-tribe] divisions.
18 “The [three-tribe] division of the camp of Eʹphra·im+ in their armies will be toward the west, and the chieftain for the sons of Eʹphra·im is E·lishʹa·ma+ the son of Am·miʹhud.
19 And his army and the ones registered of them are forty thousand five hundred.+

25 “The [three-tribe] division of the camp of Dan will be toward the north in their armies, and the chieftain for the sons of Dan is A·hi·eʹzer+ the son of Am·mi·shadʹdai.
26 And his army and the ones registered of them are sixty-two thousand seven hundred.+
27 And the ones camping alongside him will be the tribe of Ashʹer, and the chieftain for the sons of Ashʹer is Paʹgi·el+ the son of Ochʹran.

31 “All the registered ones of the camp of Dan are one hundred fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They should set out last+—according to their* [three-tribe] divisions.”
32 These were the registered ones of the sons of Israel according to the house of their fathers; all the registered ones of the camps in their armies were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.+
33 But the Levites did not get registered+ in among the sons of Israel, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
34 And the sons of Israel proceeded to do according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.+ That is the way they encamped in their [three-tribe] divisions,+ and that is the way they set out,+ each one in his families with regard to the house of his fathers.
