You and Aaron must register the troops,H6242H8141H1121H4605H3318H6635H3478H175H6485H6635 4and you will be assisted by one family leader from each tribe.H376H376H4294H376H7218H1004H1 5"These are the tribes and the names of the leaders who will assist you: Tribe Leader Reuben Elizur son of ShedeurH8034H582H5975H7205H468H1121H7707 6Simeon Shelumiel son of ZurishaddaiH8095H8017H1121H6701 7Judah Nahshon son of AmminadabH3063H5177H1121H5992 8Issachar Nethanel son of ZuarH3485H5417H1121H6686 9Zebulun Eliab son of HelonH2074H446H1121H2497 10Ephraim son of Joseph Elishama son of Ammihud Manasseh son of Joseph Gamaliel son of PedahzurH1121H3130H669H476H1121H5989H4519H1583H1121H6301 11Benjamin Abidan son of GideoniH1144H27H1121H1441 12Dan Ahiezer son of AmmishaddaiH1835H295H1121H5996 13Asher Pagiel son of OcranH836H6295H1121H5918 14Gad Eliasaph son of DeuelH1410H460H1121H1845 15Naphtali Ahira son of EnanH5321H299H1121H5881 16These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel."H7148H7121H5712H5387H4294H1H7218H505H1992H3478 17So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,H4872H175H3947H582H5344H8034 18and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day.

Organization for Israel’s Camp

2Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron.H3068H1696H4872H175H559 2"When the Israelites set up camp, each tribe will be assigned its own area. The tribal divisions will camp beneath their family banners on all four sides of the Tabernacle, but at some distance from it.H376H1121H3478H2583H1714H226H1H1004H5048H5439H168H4150H2583 3"The divisions of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun are to camp toward the sunrise on the east side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners.

These three tribes are to lead the way whenever the Israelites travel to a new campsite.H6485H4264H3063H3967H505H8084H505H8337H505H702H3967H6635H7223H5265 10"The divisions of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad are to camp on the south side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners.
