all who were able to go to war in Israel --
*
all who were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty .
*
But the Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers '
tribe ;
*
for the LORD had spoken to Moses ,
saying :
* "
Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number ,
nor take a census of them among the children of Israel ;
*
but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony ,
over all its furnishings ,
and over all things that belong to it ;
they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings ;
they shall attend to it and camp around the tabernacle .
*
And when the tabernacle is to go forward ,
the Levites shall take it down ;
and when the tabernacle is to be set up ,
the Levites shall set it up .
The outsider who comes near shall be put to death .
*
The children of Israel shall pitch their tents ,
everyone by his own camp ,
everyone by his own standard ,
according to their armies ;
*
but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony ,
that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel ;
and the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony ."
*
Thus the children of Israel did ;
according to all that the LORD commanded Moses ,
so they did .
*
And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron ,
saying :
* "
Everyone of the children of Israel shall camp by his own standard ,
beside the emblems of his father '
s house ;
they shall camp some distance from the tabernacle of meeting .
*
On the east side ,
toward the rising of the sun ,
those of the standard of the forces with Judah shall camp according to their armies ;
and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be the leader of the children of Judah ."
*
And his army was numbered at seventy-four thousand six hundred .
* "
Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar ,
and Nethanel the son of Zuar shall be the leader of the children of Issachar ."
*
And his army was numbered at fifty-four thousand four hundred .
* "
Then comes the tribe of Zebulun ,
and Eliab the son of Helon shall be the leader of the children of Zebulun ."
*
And his army was numbered at fifty-seven thousand four hundred .
* "
All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Judah ,
one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred--these shall break camp first .
* "
On the south side shall be the standard of the forces with Reuben according to their armies ,
and the leader of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur ."
*
And his army was numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred .

Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon ,
and the leader of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai ."
*
And his army was numbered at fifty-nine thousand three hundred .
* "
Then comes the tribe of Gad ,
and the leader of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel ."
*
And his army was numbered at forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty .
* "
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 be the second to break camp .
* "
And the tabernacle of meeting shall move out with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the camps ;
as they camp ,
so they shall move out ,
everyone in his place ,
by their standards .
* "
On the west side shall be the standard of the forces with Ephraim according to their armies ,
and the leader of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud ."
*
And his army was numbered at forty thousand five hundred .
* "
Next to him comes the tribe of Manasseh ,
and the leader of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur ."
*
And his army was numbered at thirty-two thousand two hundred .
* "
Then comes the tribe of Benjamin ,

Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher ,
and the leader of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran ."
*
And his army was numbered at forty-one thousand five hundred .
* "
Then comes the tribe of Naphtali ,
and the leader of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan ."
*
And his army was numbered at fifty-three thousand four hundred .
* "
All who were numbered of the forces with Dan ,
one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred--they shall break camp last ,
with their standards ."
*
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 .
*
But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel ,
just as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
Thus the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses ;
so they camped by their standards and so they broke camp ,
each one by his family ,
according to their fathers '
houses .
*
Now these are the records of Aaron and Moses when the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai .
