Numbers 2

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

خداوند به موسی و هارون فرمود:

2 The sons of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers' houses. They shall encamp round about opposite the tent of meeting.

«قبایل بنی‌اسرائیل باید گرداگرد خیمهٔ ملاقات با فاصلهٔ معینی از آن اردو بزنند و هر یک پرچم و نشان ویژهٔ خود را داشته باشند.»

3 And those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be those of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their armies. And the ruler of the sons of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

33 But the Levites were not numbered among the sons of Israel, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

34 Thus did the sons of Israel. According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they set forward, everyone by their families, according to their fathers' houses.

به این ترتیب قوم اسرائیل طبق دستوری که خداوند به موسی داده بود، عمل کردند؛ آنان با خاندان و خانوادهٔ خود کوچ می‌کردند و زیر پرچم قبیلهٔ خود اردو می‌زدند.
