Verse 18 is found in chapter 2 of Numbers. The tabernacle and the Levites remain at the center while the other tribes are distributed around them. The chapter concludes by reaffirming that Israel obeyed the pattern established by God. The camp functions as a theological representation: the community is organized spatially around the place where God has established his presence.

Gegen Abend soll liegen das Gezelt und Panier Ephraims mit ihrem Heer; ihr Hauptmann soll sein Elisama, der Sohn Ammihuds,
La bandera del ejército de Ephraim por sus escuadrones, al occidente: y el jefe de los hijos de Ephraim, Elisama hijo de Ammiud;
A l'occident, le camp d'Ephraïm, avec sa bannière, et avec ses corps d'armée. Là camperont le prince des fils d'Ephraïm, Elischama, fils d'Ammihud,
Sia la bandiera del campo di Efraim, distinta per le sue schiere, verso il Ponente; e sia capo de’ figliuoli di Efraim Elisama, figliuolo di Ammiud.
A bandeira do exército de Efraim segundo os seus esquadrões, estará para o lado do ocidente; e Elisama, filho de Amiúde, será príncipe dos filhos de Efraim.
