1. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and unto Aharon, saying,
2. The Bnei Yisroel shall encamp, each man under his own degel (standard, banner), with the otot (ensigns) of the bais of their avot; some distance from it, around the Ohel Mo'ed must they encamp. [see Yehoshua 3:4]
3. And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the degel (standard, banner) of the machaneh of Yehudah encamp by their tzvaos: and Nachshon ben Amminadav shall be Nasi of the Bnei Yehudah.[Bereshis 49:10]
4. And his tz'va (host), and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
5. And those that do encamp next unto him shall be the tribe of Yissakhar; and Netanel ben Tzuar shall be Nasi of the Bnei Yissakhar.
6. And his tz'va (host), and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.
7. Then the tribe of Zevulun; and Eliav ben Helon shall be Nasi of the Bnei Zevulun.
8. And his tz'va (host), and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
9. All that were numbered in the machaneh of Yehudah were an hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, by their tzvaos. These shall set forth first.
10. On the south side shall be the degel (standard, banner) of the machaneh of Reuven according to their tzvaos: and the Nasi of the Bnei Reuven shall be Elitzur ben Shedeur.
11. And his tz'va (host), and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.
