###### 25 "The standard of the forces with Dan _shall be_ on the north side according to their armies, and the leader of the children of Dan _shall be_ Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai."  
###### 26 And his army was numbered at sixty-two thousand seven hundred.

###### 27 "Those who camp next to him _shall be_ the tribe of Asher, and the leader of the children of Asher _shall be_ Pagiel the son of Ocran."  
###### 28 And his army was numbered at forty-one thousand five hundred.

###### 29 "Then _comes_ the tribe of Naphtali, and the leader of the children of Naphtali _shall be_ Ahira the son of Enan."

###### 31 "All who were numbered of the forces with Dan, one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred--they shall break camp last, with their standards."

###### 32 These _are_ the ones who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses. All who were numbered according to their armies of the forces _were_ six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.  
###### 33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

###### 34 Thus the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses; so they camped by their standards and so they broke camp, each one by his family, according to their fathers' houses.
