1 El Señor dijo a Moisés y a Aarón: 2 «Los israelitas acamparán cada uno junto a su bandera, bajo el estandarte de la casa de sus padres. Acamparán alrededor de la Tienda de reunión, a cierta distancia de ella. 3 Al este, hacia la salida del sol, acamparán los grupos bajo la bandera de Judá. El jefe de Judá será Naasón hijo de Aminadab. 4 Su ejército cuenta con setenta y cuatro mil seiscientos hombres. 5 Junto a ellos acampará la tribu de Isacar. Su jefe será Natanael hijo de Zuar. 6 Su ejército cuenta con cincuenta y cuatro mil cuatrocientos hombres. 7 Después estará la tribu de Zabulón. Su jefe será Eliab hijo de Helón. 8 Su ejército cuenta con cincuenta y siete mil cuatrocientos hombres. 9 El total de los hombres del campamento de Judá es de ciento ochenta y seis mil cuatrocientos. Ellos marcharán primero. 10 Al sur estarán los grupos bajo la bandera de Rubén. El jefe de Rubén será Elisur hijo de Sedeur. 11 Su ejército cuenta con cuarenta y seis mil quinientos hombres. 12 Junto a ellos acampará la tribu de Simeón. Su jefe será Selumiel hijo de Zurisadai. 13 Su ejército cuenta con cincuenta y nueve mil trescientos hombres. 14 Después estará la tribu de Gad. Su jefe será Eliasaf hijo de Deuel. 15 Su ejército cuenta con cuarenta y cinco mil seiscientos cincuenta hombres. 16 El total de los hombres del campamento de Rubén es de ciento cincuenta y un mil cuatrocientos cincuenta. Ellos marcharán en segundo lugar. 17 Luego la Tienda de reunión y el campamento de los levitas marcharán en medio de los demás campamentos. Marcharán en el mismo orden en que acampan, cada uno en su lugar y bajo su bandera. 18 Al oeste estarán los grupos bajo la bandera de Efraín. El jefe de Efraín será Elisama hijo de Amiud. 19 Su ejército cuenta con cuarenta mil quinientos hombres. 20 Junto a ellos estará la tribu de Manasés. Su jefe será Gamaliel hijo de Pedasur. 21 Su ejército cuenta con treinta y dos mil doscientos hombres. 22 Después estará la tribu de Benjamín. Su jefe será Abidán hijo de Gedeoni. 23 Su ejército cuenta con treinta y cinco mil cuatrocientos hombres. 24 El total de los hombres del campamento de Efraín es de ciento ocho mil cien. Ellos marcharán en tercer lugar. 25 Al norte estarán los grupos bajo la bandera de Dan. El jefe de Dan será Ahiezer hijo de Amisadai. 26 Su ejército cuenta con sesenta y dos mil setecientos hombres. 27 Junto a ellos acampará la tribu de Aser. Su jefe será Pagiel hijo de Ocrán. 28 Su ejército cuenta con cuarenta y un mil quinientos hombres. 29 Después estará la tribu de Neftalí. Su jefe será Ahira hijo de Enán. 30 Su ejército cuenta con cincuenta y tres mil cuatrocientos hombres. 31 El total de los hombres del campamento de Dan es de ciento cincuenta y siete mil seiscientos. Ellos marcharán al final, bajo sus banderas. 32 Estos fueron los israelitas contados según las casas de sus padres. El total de los hombres de todos los campamentos, organizados por sus grupos, fue de seiscientos tres mil quinientos cincuenta. 33 Pero los levitas no fueron contados con los demás israelitas, como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés. 34 Los israelitas hicieron todo lo que el Señor había ordenado a Moisés. Así acampaban bajo sus banderas y así marchaban, cada uno con su familia y según la casa de sus padres.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Also the tribe of Judah as the most precious pitched their camp on the East.
