The wilderness camp’s arrangement

2 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: ² The Israelites will camp each under the banner with the symbol of their household. They will camp around the meeting tent some distance from it.

The camp’s east side

³ On the east side toward the sunrise will be the banner of Judah’s camp with its military units. The chief of the people of Judah is Nahshon, Amminadab’s son. ⁴ His military unit and those enlisted in it are 74,600. ⁵ Those camping on one side of him are the tribe of Issachar. The chief of the people of Issachar is Nethanel, Zuar’s son. ⁶ His military unit and those enlisted in it are 54,400. ⁷ On the other side, the tribe of Zebulun: the chief of the people of Zebulun is Eliab, Helon’s son. ⁸ His military unit and those enlisted in it are 57,400. ⁹ All those enlisted in Judah’s camp with their military units are 186,400. They will march first.
