1 El Señor dio también estas instrucciones a Moisés y Aarón: 2 «Cada tribu tendrá su propio campamento, con un mástil y la bandera de la tribu; y en el centro de estos campamentos estará el santuario». 3 La ubicación de las tribus: Tribu Jefe Situación Censo Judá Naasón (hijo de Aminadab) Al este del santuario 74.600 Isacar Natanael (hijo de Zuar) Junto a Judá 54.400 Zabulón Eliab (hijo de Helón) Junto a Isacar 57.400 El total de los que estaban en el campamento junto a Judá era de ciento ochenta y seis mil cuatrocientos. Estas tribus abrían la marcha siempre que los israelitas tenían que trasladar el campamento. Tribu Jefe Situación Censo Rubén Elisur (hijo de Sedeúr) Al sur del santuario 46.500 Simeón Selumiel (hijo de Zurisaday) Junto a Rubén 59.300 Gad Eliasaf (hijo de Reuel [o Deuel]) Junto a Simeón 45.650 Así que el total de los que estaban en el campamento junto a Rubén era de ciento cincuenta y un mil cuatrocientos cincuenta. Estas tres tribus eran las segundas en marchar cuando los israelitas viajaban. Luego seguía el santuario con los levitas. Durante los viajes, cada tribu se mantenía en torno a su bandera, conservando el lugar, el orden y la distancia que había entre cada una cuando acampaban. Tribu Jefe Situación Censo Efraín Elisama (hijo de Amiud) Al oeste del santuario 40.500 Manasés Gamaliel (hijo de Pedasur) Junto a Efraín 32.200 Benjamín Abidán (hijo de Gedeoni) Junto a Manasés 35.400 El total de los que estaban en el campamento junto a Efraín era de ciento ocho mil cien, y eran los terceros en marchar. Tribu Jefe Situación Censo Dan Ajiezer (hijo de Amisaday) Al norte del santuario 62.700 Aser Paguiel (hijo de Ocrán) Junto a Dan 41.500 Neftalí Ajira (hijo de Enán) Junto a Aser 53.400 El total de los que estaban en el campamento junto a Dan era de ciento cincuenta y siete mil seiscientos. Estos cerraban la marcha cuando Israel se trasladaba. 32 En resumen, los ejércitos de Israel sumaban seiscientos tres mil quinientos cincuenta (sin incluir a los levitas, que quedaban exentos por el mandamiento que el Señor le había dado a Moisés). 34 Así pues, el pueblo de Israel asentó sus campamentos situándose y marchando cada tribu bajo su bandera, en los lugares que el Señor le había indicado a Moisés.

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.
