Notes on this text (1)

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 Let the children of Israel encamp fronting [each other], every man keeping his own rank, according to [their] standards, according to the houses of their families; the children of Israel shall encamp round about the tabernacle of witness. 3 And they that encamp first toward the east [shall be] the order of the camp of Judah with their host, and the prince of the sons of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 4 His forces that were numbered, were seventy-four thousand and six hundred. 5 And they that encamp next [shall be] of the tribe of Issachar, and the prince of the sons of Issachar [shall be] Nethanel the son of Zuar. 6 His forces that were numbered, were fifty-four thousand and four hundred. 7 And they that encamp next [shall be] of the tribe of Zebulun, and the prince of the sons of Zebulun [shall be] Eliab the son of Helon. 8 His forces that were numbered, were fifty-seven thousand and four hundred. 9 All that were numbered of the camp of Judah were a hundred and eighty thousand and six thousand and four hundred: they shall move first with their forces. 10 [This is] the order of the camp of Reuben; their forces [shall be] toward the south, and the prince of the children of Reuben [shall be] Elizur the son of Shedeur. 11 His forces that were numbered, were forty-six thousand and five hundred. 12 And they that encamp next to him [shall be] of the tribe of Simeon, and the prince of the sons of Simeon [shall be] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 13 His forces that were numbered, were fifty-nine thousand and three hundred. 14 And they that encamp next to them [shall be] the tribe of Gad; and the prince of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 15 His forces that were numbered, were forty-five thousand and six hundred and fifty. 16 All who were numbered of the camp of Reuben, were a hundred and fifty-one thousand and four hundred and fifty: they with their forces shall proceed in the second place. 17 And [then] the tabernacle of witness shall be set forward, and the camp of the Levites [shall be] between the camps; as they shall encamp, so also shall they commence their march, each one next in order to his fellow according to their companies. 18 The station of the camp of Ephraim [shall be] westward with their forces, and the head of the children of Ephraim [shall be] Elishama the son of Ammihud. 19 His forces that were numbered, are forty thousand and five hundred. 20 And they that encamp next [shall be] of the tribe of Manasseh, and the prince of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 21 His forces that were numbered, were thirty-two thousand and two hundred. 22 And they that encamp next [shall be] of the tribe of Benjamin, and the prince of the sons of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni. 23 His forces that were numbered, were thirty-five thousand and four hundred. 24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim, were one hundred and eight thousand and one hundred: they with their forces shall set out third. 25 The order of the camp of Dan [shall be] northward with their forces; and the prince of the sons of Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 His forces that were numbered, were sixty-two thousand and seven hundred. 27 And they that encamp next to him [shall be] the tribe of Asher; and the prince of the sons of Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran. 28 His forces that were numbered, were forty-one thousand and five hundred. 29 And they that encamp next [shall be] of the tribe of Naphtali; and the prince of the children of Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan. 30 His forces that were numbered were fifty-three thousand and four hundred. 31 All that were numbered of the camp of Dan, [were] a hundred and fifty-seven thousand and six hundred: they shall set out last according to their order. 32 This [is] the numbering of the children of Israel according to the houses of their families: all the numbering of the camps with their forces, [was] six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty. 33 But the Levites were not numbered with them, as the Lord commanded Moses. 34 And the children of Israel did all things that the Lord commanded Moses; thus they encamped in their order, and thus they began their march in succession each according to their divisions, according to the houses of their families.

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).
