18 The tents of the sons of Ephraim shall be at the west coast, of which the prince was Elishama, the son of Ammihud;

32 This is the number of the sons of Israel, by the houses of their kindreds, and by companies of the host parted, six hundred thousand and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
33 Soothly the deacons were not numbered among the sons of Israel; for God commanded so to Moses.
34 And the sons of Israel did by all things which the Lord commanded; they setted tents by their companies, and they went forth by the meines, and houses of their fathers.
