Numbers 2

1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

خداوند به موسی و هارون فرمود:

2 Every man by his own standard, by the ensign of their family division, shall the children of Israel pitch their tent; at some distance round about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they encamp.

«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 they, who encamp on the east, toward the rising of the sun, shall be [those who belong to] the standard of the camp of Judah according to their armies: and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nachshon the son of 'Amminadab.

جایگاه قبیله‌ها به ترتیب زیر بود: قبیله رهبر تعداد یهودا نحشون (پسر عمیناداب) ۷۴٬۶۰۰ نفر یساکار نتنائیل (پسر صوغر) ۵۴٬۴۰۰ نفر زبولون الی‌آب (پسر حیلون) ۵۷٬۴۰۰ نفر بنابراین، تعداد کل افراد ساکن در بخش یهودا که در سمت شرقی اردوگاه قرار داشت، ۱۸۶٬۴۰۰ نفر بود. هرگاه بنی‌اسرائیل به مکان تازه‌ای کوچ می‌کردند، این سه قبیله به ترتیب، پیشاپیش آنها حرکت می‌کردند و راه را نشان می‌دادند. قبیله رهبر تعداد رئوبین الیصور (پسر شدی‌ئور) ۴۶٬۵۰۰ نفر شمعون شلومی‌ئیل (پسر صوریشدای) ۵۹٬۳۰۰ نفر جاد الیاساف (پسر دعوئیل) ۴۵٬۶۵۰ نفر بنابراین، تعداد کل افراد ساکن در بخش رئوبین که در سمت جنوبی اردوگاه قرار داشت، ۱۵۱٬۴۵۰ نفر بود. هر وقت بنی‌اسرائیل کوچ می‌کردند، این سه قبیله به ترتیب در ردیف بعدی قرار می‌گرفتند. پشت سر این دو ردیف، لاویان با خیمهٔ عبادت حرکت می‌کردند. هنگام کوچ، افراد هر قبیله زیر علم خاص خود، دسته جمعی حرکت می‌کردند، به همان ترتیبی که در اردوگاه، هر قبیله از قبیلهٔ دیگر جدا بود. قبیله رهبر تعداد افرایم الیشمع (پسر عمیهود) ۴۰٬۵۰۰ نفر منسی جملی‌ئیل (پسر فدهصور) ۳۲٬۲۰۰ نفر بنیامین ابیدان (پسر جدعونی) ۳۵٬۴۰۰ نفر بنابراین، تعداد کل افراد ساکن در بخش افرایم که در سمت غربی اردوگاه قرار داشت، ۱۰۸٬۱۰۰ نفر بود. موقع کوچ کردن، این سه قبیله به ترتیب در ردیف بعدی قرار داشتند. قبیله رهبر تعداد دان اخیعزر (پسر عمیشدای) ۶۲٬۷۰۰ نفر اشیر فجعی‌ئیل (پسر عکران) ۴۱٬۵۰۰ نفر نفتالی اخیرع (پسر عینان) ۵۳٬۴۰۰ نفر بنابراین تعداد کل افراد ساکن در بخش دان که در سمت شمالی اردوگاه قرار داشت، ۱۵۷٬۶۰۰ نفر بود. هنگام کوچ، این سه قبیله به ترتیب، پس از همه حرکت می‌کردند.

پس تعداد کل سپاهیان بنی‌اسرائیل، ۶۰۳٬۵۵۰ نفر بود (غیر از لاویان که به دستور خداوند سرشماری نشدند).

33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

34 And the children of Israel did all just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so did they encamp by their standards, and so did they set forward every one after his family, by his division.

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.
