Numeri 2
1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi naAroni:
Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
2 “VaIsraeri vanofanira kuvaka musasa vakapoteredza Tende Rokusangana nechokure, mumwe nomumwe pasi pomureza wokwake nezviratidzo zvedzimba dzamadzibaba ake.”
“When the Israelis set up their tents, they should set them up in areas that surround the Sacred Tent, but not close to it. The people of each tribe must set up their tents in a different area. Each tribe must erect in that area a banner of their own clan and a flag that represents their tribe.
3 Kumabvazuva, kwakanangana nokunobuda nezuva, mapoka okwaJudha anofanira kuvaka misasa yawo pasi pomureza wavo. Mutungamiri wavanhu vaJudha ndiNashani mwanakomana waAminadhabhi.
The people of the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun must set up their tents on the east side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of soldiers whom they will lead: Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, will be the leader of the 74,600 men of the tribe of Judah.
