記各支派首領及安營之所

耶和華曉諭摩西亞倫說: 以色列人要各歸自己的纛下,在本族的旗號那裡,對著會幕的四圍安營。 在東邊向日出之地,照著軍隊安營的是猶大營的纛。有亞米拿達的兒子拿順猶大人的首領, 他軍隊被數的,共有七萬四千六百名; 挨著他安營的是以薩迦支派,有蘇押的兒子拿坦業以薩迦人的首領, 他軍隊被數的,共有五萬四千四百名; 又有西布倫支派,希倫的兒子以利押西布倫人的首領, 他軍隊被數的,共有五萬七千四百名。 凡屬猶大營,按著軍隊被數的,共有十八萬六千四百名,要做第一隊往前行。

10 在南邊,按著軍隊是魯本營的纛。有示丟珥的兒子以利蓿魯本人的首領, 11 他軍隊被數的,共有四萬六千五百名; 12 挨著他安營的是西緬支派,蘇利沙代的兒子示路蔑西緬人的首領, 13 他軍隊被數的,共有五萬九千三百名; 14 又有迦得支派,丟珥的兒子以利雅薩迦得人的首領, 15 他軍隊被數的,共有四萬五千六百五十名。 16 凡屬魯本營,按著軍隊被數的,共有十五萬一千四百五十名,要做第二隊往前行。

17 隨後會幕要往前行,有利未營在諸營中間。他們怎樣安營就怎樣往前行,各按本位,各歸本纛。

18 在西邊,按著軍隊是以法蓮營的纛。亞米忽的兒子以利沙瑪以法蓮人的首領, 19 他軍隊被數的,共有四萬零五百名; 20 挨著他的是瑪拿西支派,比大蓿的兒子迦瑪列瑪拿西人的首領, 21 他軍隊被數的,共有三萬二千二百名; 22 又有便雅憫支派,基多尼的兒子亞比但便雅憫人的首領, 23 他軍隊被數的,共有三萬五千四百名。 24 凡屬以法蓮營,按著軍隊被數的,共有十萬零八千一百名,要做第三隊往前行。

25 在北邊,按著軍隊是營的纛。亞米沙代的兒子亞希以謝人的首領, 26 他軍隊被數的,共有六萬二千七百名; 27 挨著他安營的是亞設支派,俄蘭的兒子帕結亞設人的首領, 28 他軍隊被數的,共有四萬一千五百名; 29 又有拿弗他利支派,以南的兒子亞希拉拿弗他利人的首領, 30 他軍隊被數的,共有五萬三千四百名。 31 營被數的,共有十五萬七千六百名,要歸本纛做末隊往前行。」

32 這些以色列人,照他們的宗族,按他們的軍隊,在諸營中被數的,共有六十萬零三千五百五十名。 33 唯獨利未人沒有數在以色列人中,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。 34 以色列人就這樣行,各人照他們的家室、宗族歸於本纛,安營起行,都是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。

Arrangement of the Camp

The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, (A)“The people of Israel shall camp each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' houses. They shall camp facing the tent of meeting on every side. Those to camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah by their companies, the chief of the people of Judah being (B)Nahshon the son of Amminadab, his company as listed being 74,600. Those to camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar, the chief of the people of Issachar being Nethanel the son of Zuar, his company as listed being 54,400. Then the tribe of Zebulun, the chief of the people of Zebulun being Eliab the son of Helon, his company as listed being 57,400. All those listed of the camp of Judah, by their companies, were 186,400. (C)They shall set out first on the march.

10 “On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben by their companies, the chief of the people of Reuben being Elizur the son of Shedeur, 11 his company as listed being 46,500. 12 And those to camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon, the chief of the people of Simeon being Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai, 13 his company as listed being 59,300. 14 Then the tribe of Gad, the chief of the people of Gad being Eliasaph the son of (D)Reuel, 15 his company as listed being 45,650. 16 All those listed of the camp of Reuben, by their companies, were 151,450. (E)They shall set out second.

17 (F)“Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they camp, so shall they set out, each in position, standard by standard.

18 “On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim by their companies, the chief of the people of Ephraim being Elishama the son of Ammihud, 19 his company as listed being 40,500. 20 And next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh, the chief of the people of Manasseh being Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur, 21 his company as listed being 32,200. 22 Then the tribe of Benjamin, the chief of the people of Benjamin being Abidan the son of Gideoni, 23 his company as listed being 35,400. 24 All those listed of the camp of Ephraim, by their companies, were 108,100. (G)They shall set out third on the march.

25 “On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan by their companies, the chief of the people of Dan being Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, 26 his company as listed being 62,700. 27 And those to camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, the chief of the people of Asher being Pagiel the son of Ochran, 28 his company as listed being 41,500. 29 Then the tribe of Naphtali, the chief of the people of Naphtali being Ahira the son of Enan, 30 his company as listed being 53,400. 31 All those listed of the camp of Dan were 157,600. (H)They shall set out last, standard by standard.”

32 These are the people of Israel as listed by their fathers' houses. All those listed in the camps by their companies were (I)603,550. 33 But (J)the Levites were not listed among the people of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses.

34 Thus did the people of Israel. According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, (K)so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, each one in his clan, according to his fathers' house.

The Arrangement of the Tribal Camps

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: “The Israelites are to camp around the tent of meeting some distance from it, each of them under their standard(A) and holding the banners of their family.”

On the east, toward the sunrise, the divisions of the camp of Judah are to encamp under their standard. The leader of the people of Judah is Nahshon son of Amminadab.(B) His division numbers 74,600.

The tribe of Issachar(C) will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Issachar is Nethanel son of Zuar.(D) His division numbers 54,400.

The tribe of Zebulun will be next. The leader of the people of Zebulun is Eliab son of Helon.(E) His division numbers 57,400.

All the men assigned to the camp of Judah, according to their divisions, number 186,400. They will set out first.(F)

10 On the south(G) will be the divisions of the camp of Reuben under their standard. The leader of the people of Reuben is Elizur son of Shedeur.(H) 11 His division numbers 46,500.

12 The tribe of Simeon(I) will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Simeon is Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.(J) 13 His division numbers 59,300.

14 The tribe of Gad(K) will be next. The leader of the people of Gad is Eliasaph son of Deuel.[a](L) 15 His division numbers 45,650.

16 All the men assigned to the camp of Reuben,(M) according to their divisions, number 151,450. They will set out second.

17 Then the tent of meeting and the camp of the Levites(N) will set out in the middle of the camps. They will set out in the same order as they encamp, each in their own place under their standard.

18 On the west(O) will be the divisions of the camp of Ephraim(P) under their standard. The leader of the people of Ephraim is Elishama son of Ammihud.(Q) 19 His division numbers 40,500.

20 The tribe of Manasseh(R) will be next to them. The leader of the people of Manasseh is Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.(S) 21 His division numbers 32,200.

22 The tribe of Benjamin(T) will be next. The leader of the people of Benjamin is Abidan son of Gideoni.(U) 23 His division numbers 35,400.

24 All the men assigned to the camp of Ephraim,(V) according to their divisions, number 108,100. They will set out third.(W)

25 On the north(X) will be the divisions of the camp of Dan under their standard.(Y) The leader of the people of Dan is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.(Z) 26 His division numbers 62,700.

27 The tribe of Asher will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Asher is Pagiel son of Okran.(AA) 28 His division numbers 41,500.

29 The tribe of Naphtali(AB) will be next. The leader of the people of Naphtali is Ahira son of Enan.(AC) 30 His division numbers 53,400.

31 All the men assigned to the camp of Dan number 157,600. They will set out last,(AD) under their standards.

32 These are the Israelites, counted according to their families.(AE) All the men in the camps, by their divisions, number 603,550.(AF) 33 The Levites, however, were not counted(AG) along with the other Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.

34 So the Israelites did everything the Lord commanded Moses; that is the way they encamped under their standards, and that is the way they set out, each of them with their clan and family.
