21. Next were the Kohathites, carrying the objects for the sacred tent, which was to be set up before they arrived at the new camp.
22. Ephraim and the tribes that camped beside it marched next, carrying their banner. Elishama son of Ammihud was the leader of the Ephraim tribe,
23. Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was the leader of the Manasseh tribe,
24. and Abidan son of Gideoni was the leader of the Benjamin tribe.
25. Dan and the tribes that camped beside it were to protect the Israelites against an attack from behind, and so they marched last, carrying their banner. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was the leader of the tribe of Dan,
26. Pagiel son of Ochran was the leader of the Asher tribe,
27. and Ahira son of Enan was the leader of the Naphtali tribe.
28. This was the order in which the Israelites marched each time they moved their camp.
