Order of the Camps

1And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2The children of Israel shall pitch every man by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers' houses: over against the tent of meeting shall they pitch round about. 3And those that pitch on the east side toward the sunrising shall be they of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 4And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. 5And those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel the son of Zuar: 6and his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred: 7and the tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon: 8and his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred. 9All that were numbered of the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, according to their hosts.

32These are they that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses: all that were numbered of the camps according to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 33But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. 34Thus did the children of Israel; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one by their families, according to their fathers' houses.
