16The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Reuben is 151,450; they shall set out second. 17In the middle of the camps, the Tent of Meeting is to travel with the camp of the Levites. They are to set out in the order they encamped, each in his own place under his standard. 18On the west side, the divisions of Ephraim are to camp under their standard: 19The leader of the Ephraimites is Elishama son of Ammihud, and his division numbers 40,500. 20The tribe of Manasseh will be next to it.

The leader of the Benjamites is Abidan son of Gideoni, 23and his division numbers 35,400. 24The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Ephraim is 108,100; they shall set out third. 25On the north side, the divisions of Dan are to camp under their standard:

26The leader of the Danites is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai, and his division numbers 62,700. 27The tribe of Asher will camp next to it.

The total of those counted in the camps, by their divisions, was 603,550. 33But the Levites were not counted among the other Israelites, as the LORD had commanded Moses. 34So the Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses; they camped under their standards in this way and set out in the same way, each man with his clan and his family.
