Numbers 2
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 2[a]
Placement of the Tribal Camps. 1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 “Every Israelite will camp by their own standard, alongside the emblems of their father’s household. They will camp some distance from the tent of meeting.
3 “On the east side, toward the rising of the sun, will be the standard of the camp of Judah arranged by their companies. The leader of the tribe of Judah is Nahshon, the son of Amminadab. 4 His forces numbered seventy-four thousand, six hundred. 5 The tribe of Issachar will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Issachar is Nethanel, the son of Zuar. 6 His forces numbered fifty-four thousand, four hundred. 7 Then there is the tribe of Zebulun. The leader of the tribe of Zebulun is Eliab, the son of Helon. 8 His forces numbered fifty-seven thousand, four hundred. 9 The whole camp of Judah, by their companies, numbered one hundred eighty-six thousand, four hundred. They are to set out first on the march.
10 “On the south side of the camp is the standard of the camp of Reuben, arranged by their companies. The leader of the tribe of Reuben is Elizur, the son of Shedeur. 11 His forces numbered forty-six thousand, five hundred. 12 The tribe of Simeon will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Simeon is Shelumiel, the son of Zurushaddai. 13 His forces numbered fifty-nine thousand, three hundred. 14 Then there is the tribe of Gad. The leader of the tribe of Gad is Eliasaph, the son of Reuel. 15 His forces numbered forty-five thousand, six hundred fifty. 16 The whole camp of Reuben, by their companies, numbered one hundred fifty-one thousand, four hundred fifty. They are to be the second to set out on the march.
17 “Then the tent of meeting will set out, with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the other camps whenever they set up camp. This is how they are to set out, each man located under his own standards.
18 “On the west side of the camp is the standard of the camp of Ephraim, arranged by their companies. The leader of the tribe of Ephraim is Elishama, the son of Ammihud. 19 His forces numbered forty thousand, five hundred. 20 The tribe of Manasseh will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Manasseh is Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur. 21 His forces numbered thirty-two thousand, two hundred. 22 Then comes the tribe of Benjamin. The leader of the tribe of Benjamin is Abidan, the son of Gideoni. 23 His forces numbered thirty-five thousand, five hundred. 24 The whole camp of Ephraim, by their companies, numbered one hundred eight thousand, one hundred. They are to be the third to set out on the march.
25 “On the north side of the camp is the standard of the camp of Dan, arranged by their companies. The leader of the tribe of Dan is Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai. 26 His forces numbered sixty-two thousand, seven hundred. 27 The tribe of Asher will camp next to him. The leader of the tribe of Asher is Pagiel, the son of Ochran. 28 His forces numbered forty-one thousand, five hundred. 29 Then comes the tribe of Naphtali. The leader of the tribe of Naphtali is Ahira, the son of Enan. 30 His forces numbered fifty-three thousand, four hundred. 31 The whole camp of Dan, by their companies, numbered one hundred fifty-seven thousand, six hundred. They are to march last with their standards.”
32 These were the people of Israel who were counted. There were six hundred three thousand, five hundred and fifty counted in their camps, in their companies, 33 but the Levites were not counted along with the people of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 34 The people of Israel did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses[b] by encamping under their standards and by the way they set out, each going with his clan and his family.
Footnotes
- Numbers 2:1 The Hebrew people are seen here as a liturgical assembly that is hierarchically arranged, being organized in increasingly sacral concentric circles around the Dwelling of the holy God. The numbers from chapter 1 are repeated, as are the names of leaders.
- Numbers 2:34 Did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses: the subject of strict obedience shown by the people of Israel in Num 1:54 is repeated here and greatly contrasts with their later rebellion.

Ubicación de los escuadrones
2 El Señor se dirigió a Moisés y a Aarón y les dijo:
2 — Los israelitas acamparán cada uno con su regimiento, bajo las insignias de sus casas patriarcales; acamparán, a cierta distancia, alrededor de la Tienda del encuentro.
3 Al este, es decir, hacia la salida del sol, acamparán por escuadrones los que militen bajo el estandarte del campamento de Judá; su jefe es Naasón, hijo de Aminadab. 4 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de setenta y cuatro mil seiscientos efectivos. 5 Junto a él acamparán los de la tribu de Isacar, cuyo jefe es Natanael, hijo de Zuar. 6 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de cincuenta y cuatro mil cuatrocientos efectivos. 7 Vienen luego los de la tribu de Zabulón, cuyo jefe es Eliab, hijo de Jelón. 8 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de cincuenta y siete mil cuatrocientos efectivos. 9 El total de los censados en el campamento de Judá es de ciento ochenta y seis mil cuatrocientos efectivos. Estos serán los que abrirán la marcha.
10 Al sur acamparán por escuadrones los que militen bajo el estandarte de Rubén; su jefe es Elisur, hijo de Sedeur. 11 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de cuarenta y seis mil quinientos efectivos. 12 Acamparán junto a él los de la tribu de Simeón, cuyo jefe es Selumiel, hijo de Zurisaday. 13 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de cincuenta y nueve mil trescientos efectivos. 14 Vienen luego los de la tribu de Gad, cuyo jefe es Eliasaf, hijo de Deuel. 15 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de cuarenta y cinco mil seiscientos cincuenta efectivos. 16 El total de los censados por escuadrones en el campamento de Rubén es de ciento cincuenta y un mil cuatrocientos cincuenta efectivos. Estos marcharán en segundo lugar.
17 Luego, en medio de los otros campamentos, irá la Tienda del encuentro y el campamento de los levitas. En el mismo orden en que acampan, así marchará cada uno con su regimiento.
18 Al oeste acamparán por escuadrones los que militen bajo el estandarte de Efraín; su jefe es Elisamá, hijo de Amihud. 19 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de cuarenta mil quinientos efectivos. 20 Junto a él acamparán los de la tribu de Manasés, cuyo jefe es Gamaliel, hijo de Pedasur. 21 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de treinta y dos mil doscientos efectivos. 22 Vienen luego los de la tribu de Benjamín, cuyo jefe es Abidán, hijo de Guideoní. 23 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de treinta y cinco mil cuatrocientos efectivos. 24 El total de los censados por escuadrones en el campamento de Efraín es de ciento ocho mil cien efectivos. Estos marcharán en tercer lugar.
25 Al norte acamparán por escuadrones los que militen bajo el estandarte de Dan; su jefe será Ajiezer, hijo de Amisaday. 26 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de sesenta y dos mil setecientos efectivos. 27 Junto a él acamparán los de la tribu de Aser, cuyo jefe es Paguiel, hijo de Ocrán. 28 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de cuarenta y un mil quinientos efectivos. 29 Vienen finalmente los de la tribu de Neftalí, cuyo jefe es Ajirá, hijo de Enán. 30 Su cuerpo de ejército, según el censo, constará de cincuenta y tres mil cuatrocientos efectivos. 31 El total de los censados en el campamento de Dan es de ciento cincuenta y siete mil seiscientos efectivos. Estos marcharán los últimos tras sus estandartes.
32 Estos fueron los israelitas censados según sus casas patriarcales. El total de los censados por escuadrones en sus respectivos campamentos fue de seiscientos tres mil quinientos cincuenta. 33 Además de los levitas que no fueron censados junto con los demás israelitas, tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
34 Hicieron, pues, los israelitas todo lo que el Señor había ordenado a Moisés: acampaban por regimientos y en ese mismo orden emprendían la marcha según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales.

Numbers 2
New King James Version
The Tribes and Leaders by Armies
2 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 (A)“Everyone of the children of Israel shall camp by his own [a]standard, beside the emblems of his father’s house; they shall camp (B)some distance from the tabernacle of meeting. 3 On the (C)east side, toward the rising of the sun, those of the standard of the forces with Judah shall camp according to their armies; and (D)Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be the leader of the children of Judah.” 4 And his army was numbered at seventy-four thousand six hundred.
5 “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.” 6 And his army was numbered at fifty-four thousand four hundred.
7 “Then comes the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the son of Helon shall be the leader of the children of Zebulun.” 8 And his army was numbered at fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 9 “All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Judah, one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred—(E)these shall [b]break camp first.
10 “On the (F)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.” 11 And his army was numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred.
12 “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.” 13 And his army was numbered at fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
14 “Then comes the tribe of Gad, and the leader of the children of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of [c]Reuel.” 15 And his army was numbered at forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 16 “All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Reuben, one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty—(G)they shall [d]be the second to break camp.
17 (H)“And the tabernacle of meeting shall move out with the [e]camp of the Levites (I)in the middle of the [f]camps; as they camp, so they shall move out, everyone in his place, by their [g]standards.
18 “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.” 19 And his army was numbered at forty thousand five hundred.
20 “Next to him comes the tribe of Manasseh, and the leader of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.” 21 And his army was numbered at thirty-two thousand two hundred.
22 “Then comes the tribe of Benjamin, and the leader of the children of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.” 23 And his army was numbered at thirty-five thousand four hundred. 24 “All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces with Ephraim, one hundred and eight thousand one hundred—(J)they shall [h]be the third to break camp.
25 “The [i]standard of the forces with Dan shall be on the north side according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.” 26 And his army was numbered at sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
27 “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.” 28 And his army was numbered at forty-one thousand five hundred.

32 These are the ones who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses. (L)All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 33 But (M)the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
34 Thus the children of Israel (N)did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses; (O)so they camped by their [l]standards and so they broke camp, each one by his family, according to their fathers’ houses.
