1 O Senhor deu mais as seguintes ordens a Moisés e a Aarão: 2 "Cada tribo deverá ter o seu próprio espaço para instalar as tendas, cada uma sob o respetivo pendão e cada família com a respetiva insígnia, e hão de dispor-se de forma a que fiquem no meio da tenda do encontro."

3-31 Será assim a sua localização relativa:

Tribo Chefe Localização Membros recenseadosJudá Nassom, filho de Aminadabe A oriente 74 600Issacar Netanel, filho de Zuar Junto de Judá 54 400Zebulão Eliabe, filho de Helom Junto de Issacar 57 400

Portanto, o total de todos aqueles que acampavam do lado de Judá era de 186 400. Estas três tribos eram as que seguiam à frente, quando todo o povo tinha de se deslocar para se instalar noutro sítio.

Rúben Elizur, filho de Sedeur A sul 46 500Simeão Selumiel, filho de Zurisadai Junto de Rúben 59 300Gad Eliasafe, filho de Deuel Junto de Simeão 45 650

O total dos que ficavam do lado de Rúben foi pois de 151 450. E iam após o grupo anterior quando tinham que viajar. Só então vinha a tenda do encontro com os levitas. Sempre que se deslocavam, cada tribo mantinha-se sob a sua própria bandeira, tal como quando estavam acampados, separadas umas das outras.

Efraim Elisama, filho de Amiude A ocidente 40 500Manassés Gamaliel, filho de Pedazur Junto de Efraim 32 200Benjamim Abidã, filho de Gideoni Junto de Manassés 35 400

O total dos que faziam este conjunto com Efraim foi assim de 108 100; seguiam após os outros na linha de marcha.

Dan Aiezer, filho de Amisadai A norte 62 700Aser Pagiel, filho de Ocrã Junto de Dan41 500Naftali Airá, filho de Enã Junto de Aser 53 400

Era pois o total dos que estavam do lado de Dan 157 600, e fechavam a coluna de marcha nas deslocações do povo.

32 Os exércitos de Israel totalizavam 603 550 indivíduos. 33 Não incluía os levitas, que não eram tidos nessa contagem, conforme a indicação de Senhor a Moisés.

34 Estabelecia assim o povo de Israel os seus acampamentos; cada tribo sob o seu estandarte, no local que o Senhor mostrava a Moisés.

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father’s house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.*2.2 far…: Heb. over against

3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah. 4 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. 5 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar. 6 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. 7 Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children of Zebulun. 8 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred. 9 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies.

10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 11 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred. 12 And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. 14 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.*2.14 Reuel: also called, Deuel 15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty. 16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.

17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: 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 armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred. 20 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 21 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred. 22 Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. 24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank.

25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred. 27 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran. 28 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.

29 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan. 30 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. 31 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.

32 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout 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 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.
