  16. 47But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them, 48for the Lord had spoken unto Moses, saying, 49Only you shall not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel. 50But you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it. They shall bear the tabernacle and all the vessels thereof, and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. 51And when the tabernacle sets out, the Levites shall take it down. And when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And the stranger that comes near shall be put to death. 52And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. 53But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel. And the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony. 54And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses; so did they.
  17. 2And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2Every 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. 3And 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. 4And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were seventy-four thousand six hundred. 5And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar, and Nethanel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar. 6And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty-four thousand four hundred. 7Then the tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children of Zebulun. 8And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 9All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were a hundred eighty-six thousand four hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth.
  18. 10On 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. 11And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty-six thousand five hundred. 12And those who pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon, and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred. 14Then the tribe of Gad, and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty. 16All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were a hundred fifty-one thousand four hundred fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.
  19. 17Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set out with the camp of the Levites in the middle of the camp. As they encamp, so shall they set out, every man in his place by their standards.
  20. 18On 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. 19And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand five hundred. 20And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh, and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 21And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty-two thousand two hundred. 22Then the tribe of Benjamin, and the captain of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty-five thousand four hundred. 24All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were a hundred eight thousand one hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall travel in the third rank.
  21. 25The 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. 26And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred. 27And 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. 28And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty-one thousand five hundred. 29Then the tribe of Naphtali, and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan. 30And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty-three thousand four hundred. 31All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were a hundred fifty-seven thousand six hundred.

  22. 32These are those who 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 three thousand five hundred fifty. 33But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel as the Lord commanded Moses. 34And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses. So they pitched by their standards, and so they set out, everyone after their families, according to the house of their fathers.
  23. 3These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai. 2And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office. 4And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they offered strange fire before the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. And Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the sight of Aaron their father.
