Context of Numbers 10:11
9And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Yhwh your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. 10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Yhwh your God.

They now received the order of God to decamp, and proceed towards the promised land; and therefore the Samaritan introduces at this place the words which we find in Deuteronomy 1:6-8; : "The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying: Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount, turn…Read the comment

They took their journey…Read the comment

This passage summarizes the daily routines during the journey.Read the comment
