1 O Senhor Deus disse a Moisés e a Arão o seguinte:

2 — Quando os israelitas armarem o acampamento, cada um ficará perto da bandeira do seu grupo e do estandarte do seu grupo de famílias. Eles acamparão em volta da Tenda Sagrada e de frente para ela.

3,4 — Do lado leste acamparão os exércitos que marcham debaixo da bandeira da tribo de Judá. O exército de Judá tem setenta e quatro mil e seiscentos homens, e o chefe é Nasom, filho de Aminadabe. 5,6 Ao lado deles acampará o exército da tribo de Issacar. Esse exército tem cinquenta e quatro mil e quatrocentos homens, e o chefe é Netanel, filho de Zuar. 7,8 Acampará com eles também o exército da tribo de Zebulom. Esse exército tem cinquenta e sete mil e quatrocentos homens, e o chefe é Eliabe, filho de Helom. 9 O grupo de Judá, num total de cento e oitenta e seis mil e quatrocentos homens, marchará primeiro.

10,11 — Do lado sul acamparão os exércitos que marcham debaixo da bandeira da tribo de Rúben. O exército de Rúben tem quarenta e seis mil e quinhentos homens, e o seu chefe é Elisur, filho de Sedeur. 12,13 Ao lado deles acampará o exército da tribo de Simeão. Esse exército tem cinquenta e nove mil e trezentos homens, e o chefe é Selumiel, filho de Zurisadai. 14,15 Acampará com eles também o exército da tribo de Gade. Esse exército tem quarenta e cinco mil seiscentos e cinquenta homens, e o chefe é Eliasafe, filho de Deuel. 16 O grupo de Rúben, num total de cento e cinquenta e um mil quatrocentos e cinquenta homens, marchará em segundo lugar.

17 — Entre os primeiros dois grupos e os dois últimos, marcharão os levitas, levando a Tenda. Os grupos marcharão na mesma ordem em que acamparem, cada um no seu lugar, seguindo a sua bandeira.

18,19 — Do lado oeste acamparão os exércitos que marcham debaixo da bandeira da tribo de Efraim. O exército de Efraim tem quarenta mil e quinhentos homens, e o chefe é Elisama, filho de Amiúde. 20,21 Ao lado deles acampará o exército da tribo de Manassés. Esse exército tem trinta e dois mil e duzentos homens, e o chefe é Gamaliel, filho de Pedasur. 22,23 Acampará com eles também o exército da tribo de Benjamim. Esse exército tem trinta e cinco mil e quatrocentos homens, e o chefe é Abidã, filho de Gideoni. 24 O grupo de Efraim, num total de cento e oito mil e cem homens, marchará em terceiro lugar.

25,26 — Do lado norte acamparão os exércitos que marcham debaixo da bandeira da tribo de Dã. O exército de Dã tem sessenta e dois mil e setecentos homens, e o chefe é Aiezer, filho de Amisadai. 27,28 Ao lado deles acampará o exército da tribo de Aser. Esse exército tem quarenta e um mil e quinhentos homens, e o chefe é Pagiel, filho de Ocrã. 29,30 Acampará com eles também o exército da tribo de Naftali. Esse exército tem cinquenta e três mil e quatrocentos homens, e o chefe é Aira, filho de Enã. 31 O grupo de Dã, num total de cento e cinquenta e sete mil e seiscentos homens, marchará por último.

32 O número total dos homens de Israel registrados nos exércitos, grupo por grupo, foi de seiscentos e três mil quinhentos e cinquenta. 33 Como o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés, os levitas não foram contados com os outros israelitas.

34 Assim, o povo de Israel fez tudo como o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés. Eles acamparam, cada grupo debaixo da sua própria bandeira, e cada israelita começou a marchar com o seu grupo de famílias.

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

2 'The children of Israel shall pitch by their fathers' houses; every man with his own standard, according to the ensigns; a good way off shall they pitch round about the tent of meeting.

3 Now those that pitch on the east side toward the sunrising shall be they of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Judah being Nahshon the son of Amminadab,

4 and his host, and those that were numbered of them, threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred;

5 and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar; the prince of the children of Issachar being Nethanel the son of Zuar,

6 and his host, even those that were numbered thereof, fifty and four thousand and four hundred;

7 and the tribe of Zebulun; the prince of the children of Zebulun being Eliab the son of Helon,

8 and his host, and those that were numbered thereof, fifty and seven thousand and four hundred;

9 all that were numbered of the camp of Judah being a hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, according to their hosts; they shall set forth first.

10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Reuben being Elizur the son of Shedeur,

11 and his host, and those that were numbered thereof, forty and six thousand and five hundred;

12 and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Simeon; the prince of the children of Simeon being Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai,

13 and his host, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and nine thousand and three hundred;

14 and the tribe of Gad; the prince of the children of Gad being Eliasaph the son of Reuel,

15 and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty;

16 all that were numbered of the camp of Reuben being a hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, according to their hosts; and they shall set forth second.

17 Then the tent of meeting, with the camp of the Levites, shall set forward in the midst of the camps; as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place, by their standards.

18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Ephraim being Elishama the son of Ammihud,

19 and his host, and those that were numbered of them, forty thousand and five hundred;

20 and next unto him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; the prince of the children of Manasseh being Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur,

21 and his host, and those that were numbered of them, thirty and two thousand and two hundred;

22 and the tribe of Benjamin; the prince of the children of Benjamin being Abidan the son of Gideoni,

23 and his host, and those that were numbered of them, thirty and five thousand and four hundred;

24 all that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim being a hundred thousand and eight thousand and a hundred, according to their hosts; and they shall set forth third.

25 On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Dan being Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai,

26 and his host, and those that were numbered of them, threescore and two thousand and seven hundred;

27 and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Asher; the prince of the children of Asher being Pagiel the son of Ochran,

28 and his host, and those that were numbered of them, forty and one thousand and five hundred;

29 and the tribe of Naphtali; the prince of the children of Naphtali being Ahira the son of Enan,

30 and his host, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and three thousand and four hundred;

31 all that were numbered of the camp of Dan being a hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred; they shall set forth hindmost by their standards.'

32 These are they that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses; all that were numbered of the camps according to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

34 Thus did the children of Israel: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, each one according to its families, and according to its fathers' houses.
