Armies: March in Ranks: Standards

“The Israelites are to camp around the Tent of Meeting at a distance from it, each man under his standard, with the banners of his family.

On the east side, toward the sunrise, the divisions of Judah are to camp under their standard: The leader of the Judahites is Nahshon son of Amminadab,

On the south side, the divisions of Reuben are to camp under their standard: The leader of the Reubenites is Elizur son of Shedeur,

In the middle of the camps, the Tent of Meeting is to travel with the camp of the Levites. They are to set out in the order they encamped, each in his own place under his standard.

On the west side, the divisions of Ephraim are to camp under their standard: The leader of the Ephraimites is Elishama son of Ammihud,

On the north side, the divisions of Dan are to camp under their standard: The leader of the Danites is Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai,

The total number of men in the camp of Dan is 157,600; they shall set out last, under their standards.”

So the Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses; they camped under their standards in this way and set out in the same way, each man with his clan and his family.

First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.

Then the divisions of the camp of Reuben set out under their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.

Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.

Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard, serving as the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.
