31 "The total of the numbered men of the camp of Dan was 157,600 . They shall set out last by their standards."

32 These are the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers' households; the total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550 .

33 The Levites, however, were not numbered among the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
