Context of Numbers 10:34

32If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the Lord gives us.” 33So they set out from the mountain of the Lord and traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them during those three days to find them a place to rest.

May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you.” 36Whenever it came to rest, he said, “Return, Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
