1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron
2 how the Israelites should arrange their camp:Each tribe must set up camp under its own banner and under the flags of its ancestral families. These camps will be arranged around the sacred tent, but not close to it.
3-4 Judah and the tribes that march with it must set up camp on the east side of the sacred tent, under their own banner. The 74,600 troops of the tribe of Judah will be arranged by divisions and led by Nahshon son of Amminadab.
5-6 On one side of Judah will be the tribe of Issachar, with Nethanel son of Zuar as the leader of its 54,400 troops.
7-8 On the other side will be the tribe of Zebulun, with Eliab son of Helon as the leader of its 57,400 troops.
