The chapter

What happens here

Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

The camp travels in four great quarters, with the Tent of Meeting in the middle: Judah goes first, Reuben second, Ephraim third, and Dan last.

A camp arranged by bannersvv. 1–34

The LORD tells Moses and Aaron to place the Israelites around the Tent of Meeting, each man under his standard and with the banners of his family. Judah camps on the east and sets out first, Reuben on the south and sets out second, Ephraim on the west and sets out third, and Dan on the north and sets out last. Between these marching quarters travels the Tent of Meeting with the Levites, which gives the whole arrangement a remarkably definite centre. The numbers are carefully supplied—603,550 in all, though the Levites are excluded—and the Israelites do exactly as commanded, camping and setting out with their clans and families.

Who else the chapter reaches

Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.
