Tribe Leader Number
Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab 74,600 5Issachar Nethanel son of Zuar 54,400 7Zebulun Eliab son of Helon 57,400 9
So the total of all the troops on Judah's side of the camp is 186,400.

So the total of all the troops on Reuben's side of the camp is 151,450. These three tribes will be second in line whenever the Israelites travel. 17 "Then the Tabernacle, carried by the Levites, will set out from the middle of the camp. All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner. 18"The divisions of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin are to camp on the west side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners.
