Chapter 10

1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Make two silver trumpets for yourself. You shall make them of hammered work, and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for breaking camp. 3And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 4But if only one is blown, then the chiefs, the heads of the clans of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. 5When you blow an alarm, the camps on the east side shall set out. 6And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out. 7But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound an alarm. 8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. 9And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. 10On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be a reminder of you before your God: I am the LORD your God.” 11In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony. 12And the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran. 13They set out for the first time at the command of the LORD by Moses. 14The standard of the camp of the people of Judah set out first, according to their companies, and over its host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15And over the host of the tribe of the people of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 16And over the host of the tribe of the people of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who carried the tabernacle, set out. 18And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their companies, and over its host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 19And over the host of the tribe of the people of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20And over the host of the tribe of the people of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 21Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things, and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival. 22And the standard of the camp of the people of Ephraim set out according to their companies, and over its host was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 23And over the host of the tribe of the people of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24And over the host of the tribe of the people of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 25Then the standard of the camp of the people of Dan, acting as the rearguard of all the camps, set out according to their companies, and over its host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26And over the host of the tribe of the people of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27And over the host of the tribe of the people of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 28These were the marching orders of the people of Israel, company by company, when they set out. 29And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do good to you, for the LORD has promised good to Israel.” 30But he said to him, “I will not go. I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.” 31And he said, “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should encamp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us. 32And if you will go with us, whatever good the LORD will do to us, the same will we do to you.” 33So they set out from the mount of the LORD on three days' journey. And the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them for three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them. 34And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp. 35And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Arise, O LORD, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.” 36And when it rested, he said, “Return, O LORD, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”
