< Numbers 2 >

1 YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
خداوند به موسی و هارون فرمود:
2 "The children of Israel shall camp every man by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers' houses: at a distance from the Tent of Meeting shall they camp around it."
«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 Those who camp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their divisions: and the prince of the people of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

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 YHWH commanded Moses.
34 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that YHWH commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, 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.
