Numbers 10

1Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872, 2“MakeH6213 twoH8147 trumpetsH2689 of hammeredH4749 silverH3701H6213 to be usedH1961 for callingH4744 the congregationH5712 and for having the campsH4264 set outH4550. 3When both are soundedH8628, the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 is to assembleH3259 beforeH413 you atH413 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150. 4But ifH518 only oneH259 is soundedH8628, then the leadersH5387, the headsH7218 of the clansH505 of IsraelH3478, are to gatherH3259 before youH413.

5When you soundH8628 short blastsH8643, the campsH4264 that lieH2583 on the east sideH6924 are to set outH5265. 6When you soundH8628 the short blastsH8643 a second timeH8145, the campsH4264 that lieH2583 on the south sideH8486 are to set outH5265. The blastsH8643 are to signal themH8628 to set outH4550. 7To conveneH6950 the assemblyH6951, you are to sound long blastsH8628, notH3808 short onesH7321. 8The sonsH1121 of AaronH175, the priestsH3548, are to soundH8628 the trumpetsH2689. This shall beH1961 a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 for you and the generations to comeH1755.

9WhenH3588 you enterH935 into battleH4421 in your landH776 againstH5921 an adversaryH6862 who attacksH6887 youH853, sound short blastsH7321 on the trumpetsH2689, and you will be rememberedH2142 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 and savedH3467 from your enemiesH341. 10And on your joyousH8057 occasionsH3117, your appointed feastsH4150, and the beginningH7218 of each monthH2320, you are to blowH8628 the trumpetsH2689 overH5921 your burnt offeringsH5930H5921 and peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 to serveH1961 as a reminderH2146 for you beforeH6440 your GodH430. IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.”

From Sinai to Paran

On the twentiethH6242 dayH2320 of the secondH8145 monthH2320 of the secondH8145 yearH8141, the cloudH6051 was liftedH5927 from aboveH5921 the tabernacleH4908 of the TestimonyH5715, 12and the IsraelitesH1121H3478 set outH5265 from the WildernessH4057 of SinaiH5514, traveling from place to placeH4550 until the cloudH6051 settledH7931 in the WildernessH4057 of ParanH6290. 13They set outH5265 this first timeH7223 according toH5921 the LORD’sH3068 commandH6310 throughH3027 MosesH4872.

14FirstH7223, the divisionsH6635 of the campH4264 of JudahH1121H3063 set outH5265 under their standardH1714, with NahshonH5177 sonH1121 of AmminadabH5992 in commandH5921H6635. 15NethanelH5417 sonH1121 of ZuarH6686 was overH5921 the divisionH6635 of the tribeH4294 of IssacharH1121H3485, 16and EliabH446 sonH1121 of HelonH2497 was overH5921 the divisionH6635 of the tribeH4294 of ZebulunH1121H2074. 17Then the tabernacleH4908 was taken downH3381, and the GershonitesH1121H1648 and the MeraritesH1121H4847 set outH5265, transportingH5375 it.

18Then the divisionsH6635 of the campH4264 of ReubenH7205 set outH5265 under their standardH1714, with ElizurH468 sonH1121 of ShedeurH7707 in commandH5921H6635. 19ShelumielH8017 sonH1121 of ZurishaddaiH6701 was overH5921 the divisionH6635 of the tribeH4294 of SimeonH1121H6701H8095, 20and EliasaphH460 sonH1121 of DeuelH1845 was overH5921 the divisionH6635 of the tribeH4294 of GadH1121H1410. 21Then the KohathitesH6956 set outH5265, transportingH5375 the holy objectsH4720; the tabernacleH4908 was to be set upH6965 beforeH5704 their arrivalH935.

22Next, the divisionsH6635 of the campH4264 of EphraimH1121H669 set outH5265 under their standardH1714, with ElishamaH476 sonH1121 of AmmihudH5989 in commandH5921H6635. 23GamalielH1583 sonH1121 of PedahzurH6301 was overH5921 the divisionH6635 of the tribeH4294 of ManassehH1121H4519, 24and AbidanH27H1121 sonH1121 of GideoniH1441 was overH5921 the divisionH6635 of the tribeH4294 of BenjaminH1144.

25Finally, the divisionsH6635 of the campH4264 of DanH1121H1835 set outH5265 under their standardH1714, serving as the rear guardH622 for allH3605 unitsH4264, with AhiezerH295 sonH1121 of AmmishaddaiH5996 in commandH5921H6635. 26PagielH6295 sonH1121 of OcranH5918 was overH5921 the divisionH6635 of the tribeH4294 of AsherH1121H836, 27and AhiraH299 sonH1121 of EnanH5881 was overH5921 the divisionH6635 of the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH1121H5321.

28ThisH428 was the order of marchH4550 for the IsraeliteH1121H3478 divisionsH6635 as they set outH5265.

29Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to HobabH2246, the sonH1121 of MosesH4872’ father-in-lawH2859 ReuelH74671 the MidianiteH4084, “We areH587 setting outH5265 forH413 the placeH4725 of whichH834 the LORDH3068 saidH559: ‘I will give itH5414 to you.’ ComeH1980 with usH854, and we will treat you wellH3190, forH3588 the LORDH3068 has promisedH1696 goodH2896 things toH5921 IsraelH3478.”

30“I will notH3808 goH1980,” Hobab repliedH559. “InsteadH3588H518, I am going backH1980 toH413 my own landH776H413 and my own peopleH4138.”

31“PleaseH4994 do notH408 leave usH5800,” Moses saidH559, “sinceH3588H5921H3651 you knowH3045 where we should campH2583 in the wildernessH4057, and you can serveH1961 as our eyesH5869. 32IfH3588 you comeH1980 with usH5973, we will shareH3190 with you whateverH834H3190 good thingsH2896H1931 the LORDH3068 gives usH5973.”

33So they set outH5265 on a three-dayH7969H3117 journeyH1870 from the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 travelingH5265 ahead of themH6440H1870 for those threeH7969 daysH3117 to seekH8446 a resting placeH4496 for them. 34And the cloudH6051 of the LORDH3068 was over themH5921 by dayH3119 when they set outH5265 fromH4480 the campH4264.

35WheneverH1961 the arkH727 set outH5265, MosesH4872 would sayH559,

“Rise upH6965, O LORDH3068!May Your enemiesH341 be scatteredH6327;may those who hate YouH8130 fleeH5127 before YouH6440.”

36And when it came to restH5117, he would sayH559:

“ReturnH7725, O LORDH3068,to the countlessH7233 thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478.”
