Numbers 2:1-34
Now the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,“ The sons of Israel shall camp, each by his own flag, with the banners of their fathers’ households; they shall camp around the tent of meeting at a distance.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: Nahshon the son of Amminadab,and his army, their numbered men: 74,600.Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar; and the leader of the sons of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar,and his army, their numbered men: 54,400.Then follows the tribe of Zebulun; and the leader of the sons of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon,and his army, his numbered men: 57,400.The total of the numbered men of the camp of Judah: 186,400, by their armies. They shall set out first.“ On the south side shall be the flag of the camp of Reuben by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur,and his army, their numbered men: 46,500.And those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon; and the leader of the sons of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai,and his army, their numbered men: 59,300.Then follows the tribe of Gad; and the leader of the sons of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel,and his army, their numbered men: 45,650.The total of the numbered men of the camp of Reuben: 151,450 by their armies. And they shall set out second.“ Then the tent of meeting shall set out with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; just as they camp, so they shall set out, every man in his place by their flags.“ On the west side shall be the flag of the camp of Ephraim by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Ephraim: Elishama the son of Ammihud,and his army, their numbered men: 40,500.Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; and the leader of the sons of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur,and his army, their numbered men, 32,200.Then follows the tribe of Benjamin; and the leader of the sons of Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni,and his army, their numbered men, 35,400.The total of the numbered men of the camp of Ephraim: 108,100, by their armies. And they shall set out third.“ On the north side shall be the flag of the camp of Dan by their armies; and the leader of the sons of Dan: Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai,and his army, their numbered men: 62,700.Those who camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher; and the leader of the sons of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran,and his army, their numbered men: 41,500.Then follows the tribe of Naphtali; and the leader of the sons of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan,and his army, their numbered men: 53,400.The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600. They shall set out last by their flags.”These are the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers’ households; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550.The Levites, however, were not counted among the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.So the sons of Israel did all this; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they camped by their flags, and so they set out, everyone by his family according to his father’s household.

Numbers 10:1-36
The Lord spoke further to Moses, saying,“ Make yourself two trumpets of silver, you shall make them of hammered work; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and breaking camp.Now when both are blown, all the congregation shall meet you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.But if only one is blown, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall meet you.And when you blow an alarm, the camps that are pitched on the east side shall set out.Then when you sound an alarm the second time, the camps that are pitched on the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be sounded for them to break camp.When convening the assembly, however, you shall blow the trumpets without sounding an alarm.The sons of Aaron, moreover, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and this shall be a permanent statute for you throughout your generations.And when you go to war in your land against the enemy who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you will be thought of by the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies.Also on the day of your joy and at your appointed feasts, and on the first days of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”Now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the testimony;and the sons of Israel set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled in the wilderness of Paran.So they moved on for the first time in accordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.The flag of the camp of the sons of Judah, by their armies, set out first, with Nahshon the son of Amminadab, over its army,and Nethanel the son of Zuar, over the tribal army of the sons of Issachar;and Eliab the son of Helon over the tribal army of the sons of Zebulun.Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set out.Next the flag of the camp of Reuben, by their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army,and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the tribal army of the sons of Simeon,and Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the tribal army of the sons of Gad.Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy objects; and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival.Next the flag of the camp of the sons of Ephraim, by their armies, set out, with Elishama the son of Ammihud over its army,and Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur over the tribal army of the sons of Manasseh;and Abidan the son of Gideoni over the tribal army of the sons of Benjamin.Then the flag of the camp of the sons of Dan, by their armies, which formed the rear guard for all the camps, set out, with Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai over its army,and Pagiel the son of Ochran over the tribal army of the sons of Asher;and Ahira the son of Enan over the tribal army of the sons of Naphtali.This was the order of marching for the sons of Israel by their armies as they set out.Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law,“ We are setting out to the place of which the Lord said,‘ I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will do you good, for the Lord has promised good concerning Israel.”But he said to him,“ I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives.”Then he said,“ Please do not leave us, since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us.So it will be, if you go with us, that whatever good the Lord does for us, we will do for you.”So they moved on from the mountain of the Lord three days’ journey, with the ark of the covenant of the Lord going on in front of them for the three days, to seek out a resting place for them.And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said,“ Rise up, Lord! And may Your enemies be scattered, And those who hate You flee from Your presence.”And when it came to rest, he said,“ Return, Lord, To the myriad thousands of Israel.”
