32These are the children of Strives-with-God, numbered according to their families. The total of those counted in the camps, by their divisions, was 603,550.
33But the Joined-Ones were not counted among the other children of Strives-with-God, as He-Who-Is had commanded Drawn-Out.
34So the children of Strives-with-God did everything He-Who-Is commanded Drawn-Out; they camped under their standards in this way and set out in the same way, each man with his clan and his family.
