The arrangement of the tribal camps
1The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 2‘The Israelites are to camp round the tent of meeting some distance from it, each of them under their standard and holding the banners of their family.’
3On the east, towards the sunrise:
the divisions of the camp of Judah are to camp under their standard. The leader of the people of Judah is Nahshon son of Amminadab. 4His division numbers 74,600.
5The tribe of Issachar will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Issachar is Nethanel son of Zuar. 6His division numbers 54,400.
7The tribe of Zebulun will be next. The leader of the people of Zebulun is Eliab son of Helon. 8His division numbers 57,400.
9All the men assigned to the camp of Judah, according to their divisions, number 186,400. They will set out first.
10On the south will be:
the divisions of the camp of Reuben under their standard. The leader of the people of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur. 11His division numbers 46,500.
12The tribe of Simeon will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Simeon is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. 13His division numbers 59,300.
14The tribe of Gad will be next. The leader of the people of Gad is Eliasaph son of Deuel.2:14 Many manuscripts of the Masoretic Text, Samaritan Pentateuch and Vulgate (see also 1:14); most manuscripts of the Masoretic Text Reuel 15His division numbers 45,650.
16All the men assigned to the camp of Reuben, according to their divisions, number 151,450. They will set out second.
17Then 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 set up camp, each in their own place under their standard.
18On the west will be:
the divisions of the camp of Ephraim under their standard. The leader of the people of Ephraim is Elishama son of Ammihud. 19His division numbers 40,500.

22The tribe of Benjamin will be next. The leader of the people of Benjamin is Abidan son of Gideoni. 23His division numbers 35,400.
24All the men assigned to the camp of Ephraim, according to their divisions, number 108,100. They will set out third.
25On the north will be:
the divisions of the camp of Dan under their standard. The leader of the people of Dan is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai. 26His division numbers 62,700.
27The tribe of Asher will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Asher is Pagiel son of Okran. 28His division numbers 41,500.

31All the men assigned to the camp of Dan number 157,600. They will set out last, under their standards.
32These are the Israelites, counted according to their families. All the men in the camps, by their divisions, number 603,550. 33The Levites, however, were not counted along with the other Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.
34So the Israelites did everything the Lord commanded Moses; that is the way they camped under their standards, and that is the way they set out, each of them with their clan and family.

各部族の配置
1-2主はさらに、モーセとアロンに命じました。「野営地の真ん中に幕屋を作り、距離をおいて各部族はその回りに、部族ごとに旗を立てて宿営しなさい。」
3-31こうして、各部族の配置は次のように決まりました。
ユダ族アミナダブの子ナフション――幕屋の東側に七万四、六〇〇人。イッサカル族ツアルの子ネタヌエル――ユダの隣に五万四、四〇〇人。ゼブルン族ヘロンの子エリアブ――イッサカルの隣に五万七、四〇〇人。ユダの宿営に属する三部族の合計は一八万六、四〇〇人。このグループは、人々が別の所へ移動するとき、先頭に進みます。
ルベン族シェデウルの子エリツル――幕屋の南側に四万六、五〇〇人。シメオン族ツリシャダイの子シェルミエル――ルベンの隣に五万九、三〇〇人。ガド族デウエルの子エルヤサフ――シメオンの隣に四万五、六五〇人。ルベンの宿営に属する三部族の合計は一五万一、四五〇人。このグループは、人々が別の所に移動するとき、二番目に進みます。
次に続くのは、野営地の中央を占める幕屋とレビ族です。移動するときも野営地にいるときと同じように、各部族はそれぞれの旗のもとに、いっしょにいなければなりません。
エフライム族アミフデの子エリシャマ――幕屋の西側に四万五〇〇人。マナセ族ペダツルの子ガムリエル――エフライムの隣に三万二、二〇〇人。ベニヤミン族ギデオニの子アビダン――マナセの隣に三万五、四〇〇人。エフライムの宿営に属する人数は一〇万八、一〇〇人で、彼らは三番目に進みます。
ダン族アミシャダイの子アヒエゼル――幕屋の北側に六万二、七〇〇人。アシェル族オクランの子パグイエル――ダンの隣に四万一、五〇〇人。ナフタリ族エナンの子アヒラ――アシェルの隣に五万三、四〇〇人。ダンの宿営に属する人数は、一五万七、六〇〇人です。彼らは別の所へ移動するとき、最後に進みます。
32イスラエル軍の総勢は六〇万三、五五〇人でした。 33この中に、主の命令で兵役が免除されたレビ族は含まれていません。 34こうして人々は、主がモーセに命じたとおりの場所に、部族ごとに旗を立て、テントを張り、進みました。
