Their leader is Nahshon, son of Amminadab, 4and he has 74,600 men. 5The tribe of Issachar will camp next to them. Their leader is Nethanel, son of Zuar, 6and he has 54,400 men. 7Next is the tribe of Zebulun. Their leader is Eliab, son of Helon, 8and he has 57,400 men. 9So the total number of men in the area of the camp of Judah is 186,400.

34The Israelites did everything the Lord had ordered Moses. They set up their camps under their flags in their assigned positions, and marched out in the same order, each with their own tribe and family.
