خداوند به موسی و هارون فرمود: 1
Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
«قبایل بنی‌اسرائیل باید گرداگرد خیمهٔ ملاقات با فاصلهٔ معینی از آن اردو بزنند و هر یک پرچم و نشان ویژهٔ خود را داشته باشند.» 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."

These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses. All who were numbered of the camps according to their armies were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty.
33
But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
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. 34
Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, everyone by their families, according to their fathers' houses.
