New American Standard Bible

Arrangement of the Camps

2 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, ² “^(A)The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own ^[a]flag, with the banners of their fathers’ households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting ^[b]at a distance. ³ Now those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the flag of the camp of Judah, by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Judah: ^(B)Nahshon the son of Amminadab, ⁴ and his army, their ^[c]numbered men: 74,600. ⁵ Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and the leader of the sons of Issachar: ^(C)Nethanel the son of Zuar, ⁶ and his army, their numbered men: 54,400. ⁷ Then follows the tribe of Zebulun; and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: ^(D)Eliab the son of Helon, ⁸ and his army, his numbered men: 57,400. ⁹ The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah: 186,400, by their armies. ^(E)They shall set out first.
