The Silver Trumpets

1The LordH3068 spokeH1696 further to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2“MakeH6213 yourself twoH8147 trumpetsH2689 of silverH3701, of hammeredH4749 workH4749 you shall makeH6213 them; and you shall useH1961 them for 1summoningH4744 the congregationH5712 and for having the campsH4264 setH4550 out. 32When bothH1992 are blownH8628, allH3605 the congregationH5712 shall gatherH3259 themselves to you at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 4Yet ifH518 only oneH259 is blownH8628, then the 3leadersH5387, the headsH7218 of the 4divisionsH505 of IsraelH3478, shall assembleH3259 beforeH413 you. 5But when you blowH8628 an alarmH8643, the campsH4264 that are pitchedH2583 5on the eastH6924 sideH6924 shall setH5265 out. 6When you blowH8628 an alarmH8643 the secondH8145 timeH8145, the campsH4264 that are pitchedH2583 on 6the southH8486 sideH8486 shall setH5265 out; an alarmH8643 is to be blownH8628 for them to setH4550 out. 7When conveningH6950 the assemblyH6951, however, you shall blowH8628 withoutH3808 7soundingH7321 an alarmH7321. 88The priestlyH3548 sonsH1121 of AaronH175, moreover, shall blowH8628 the trumpetsH2689; and 9this shall be for you a perpetualH5769 statuteH2708 throughout your generationsH1755. 9WhenH3588 you goH935 to warH4421 in your landH776 againstH5921 the adversaryH6862 who 10attacksH6887 you, then you shall soundH7321 an alarmH7321 with the trumpetsH2689, that you may be 11rememberedH2142 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430, and be savedH3467 from your enemiesH340. 10Also in the dayH3117 of your gladnessH8057 and in your appointedH4150 12feastsH4150, and on the firstH7218 days of your monthsH2320, 13you shall blowH8628 the trumpetsH2689 overH5921 your burntH5930 offeringsH5930, and overH5921 the sacrificesH2077 of your peaceH8002 offeringsH8002; and they shall be as a reminderH2146 of you beforeH6440 your GodH430. I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.”

The Tribes Leave Sinai

11Now in 14the secondH8145 yearH8141, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, on the twentiethH6242 of the monthH2320, the cloudH6051 was liftedH5927 from overH5921 the 15tabernacleH4908 of the testimonyH5715; 12and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 setH5265 out on 16their journeysH4550 from the wildernessH4057 of SinaiH5514. Then the cloudH6051 settledH7931 downH7931 in the 17wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290. 1318So they movedH5265 out for the firstH7223 timeH7223 accordingH5921 to the 19commandmentH6310 of the LordH3068 throughH3027 MosesH4872. 14The standardH1714 of the campH4264 of the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, according to their armiesH6635, 20setH5265 out firstH7223, with NahshonH5177 the sonH1121 of AmminadabH5992, overH5921 its armyH6635, 15and NethanelH5417 the sonH1121 of ZuarH6686, overH5921 the tribalH4294 armyH6635 of the sonsH1121 of IssacharH3485; 16and EliabH446 the sonH1121 of HelonH2497 overH5921 the tribalH4294 armyH6635 of the sonsH1121 of ZebulunH2074.

1721Then the tabernacleH4908 was takenH3381 downH3381; and the sonsH1121 of GershonH1648 and the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, who were carryingH5375 the tabernacleH4908, setH5265 out. 18Next 22the standardH1714 of the campH4264 of ReubenH7205, accordingH5921 to their armiesH6635, setH5265 out with ElizurH468 the sonH1121 of ShedeurH7707, overH5921 its armyH6635, 19and ShelumielH8017 the sonH1121 of ZurishaddaiH6701 overH5921 the tribalH4294 armyH6635 of the sonsH1121 of SimeonH8095, 20and EliasaphH460 the sonH1121 of DeuelH1845 was overH5921 the tribalH4294 armyH6635 of the sonsH1121 of GadH1410.

2123Then the KohathitesH6956 setH5265 out, carryingH5375 the holyH4720 objects; and 24the tabernacleH4908 was setH6965 up beforeH5704 their arrivalH935. 2225Next the standardH1714 of the campH4264 of the sonsH1121 of EphraimH669, according to their armiesH6635, was setH5265 out, with ElishamaH476 the sonH1121 of AmmihudH5989 overH5921 its armyH6635, 23and GamalielH1583 the sonH1121 of PedahzurH6301 overH5921 the tribalH4294 armyH6635 of the sonsH1121 of ManassehH4519; 24and AbidanH27 the sonH1121 of GideoniH1441 overH5921 the tribalH4294 armyH6635 of the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144.

2526Then the standardH1714 of the campH4264 of the sonsH1121 of DanH1835, according to their armiesH6635, which formed the 27rearH622 guardH622 for allH3605 the campsH4264, setH5265 out, with AhiezerH295 the sonH1121 of AmmishaddaiH5996 overH5921 its armyH6635, 26and PagielH6295 the sonH1121 of OchranH5918 overH5921 the tribalH4294 armyH6635 of the sonsH1121 of AsherH836; 27and AhiraH299 the sonH1121 of EnanH5881 overH5921 the tribalH4294 armyH6635 of the sonsH1121 of NaphtaliH5321. 2828ThisH428 was the orderH4550 of marchH4550 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 by their armiesH6635 as they setH5265 out.

29Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to 29HobabH2246 the sonH1121 of 30ReuelH7467 the MidianiteH4084, Moses’H4872 father-in-lawH2860, “We are settingH5265 out to the placeH4725 of whichH834 the LordH3068 saidH559, ‘31I will giveH5414 it to you’; 32comeH1980 with us and we will doH3190 you goodH3190, for the LordH3068 33has 34promisedH1696 goodH2896 concerningH5921 IsraelH3478.” 30But he saidH559 to him, “35I will not comeH1980, but ratherH3588H518 will goH1980 to my own landH776 and relativesH4138.” 31Then he saidH559, “PleaseH4994 do not leaveH5800 us, inasmuchH3588H5921H3651 as you knowH3045 where we should campH2583 in the wildernessH4057, and you 36will be as eyesH5869 for us. 32So it will be, ifH3588 you goH1980 with us, that 3738whateverH834 goodH2896 the LordH3068 39doesH3190 for us, 40we will 41doH3190 for you.”

3342Thus they setH5265 out from the mountH2022 of the LordH3068 threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870, with 43the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 journeyingH5265 in frontH6440 of them for the 44threeH7969 daysH3117, to seekH8446 out 45a restingH4496 placeH4496 for them. 3446The cloudH6051 of the LordH3068 was overH5921 them by dayH3119 when they setH5265 out from the campH4264.

35Then it cameH1961 about when the arkH727 setH5265 out that MosesH4872 saidH559, “47RiseH6965 up, O LordH3068! And let Your enemiesH340 be scatteredH6327, And let those 48who hateH8130 You fleeH5127 49beforeH4480H6440 You.” 36When it cameH5117 to restH5117, he saidH559, “50ReturnH7725, O LordH3068, To the myriadH7233 51thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478.”
