Numbers 2:33 In-Context

31 "The grand total of all the men in Dan's camp is 157,600. They will be the last group to move out. They will travel under their own flag."

32 This is the total number of Israelites, counted by households. The grand total of all the troops in the camps was 603,550.

33 As the LORD had commanded Moses, the Levites were not registered along with the other Israelites.

34 So the Israelites did everything as the LORD had commanded Moses. They set up camp under their flags, and each person traveled with his own family and household.
