NU-10:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
NU-10:2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece
shalt thou make
them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly,
and for the
journeying of the camps.
NU-10:3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly
shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
NU-10:4 And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet], then the
princes, [which
are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves
unto thee.
NU-10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the
east parts
shall go forward.
NU-10:6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps
that lie on the
south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm
for their
journeys.
NU-10:7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together,
ye shall blow,
but ye shall not sound an alarm.
NU-10:8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the
trumpets; and
they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your
generations.
NU-10:9 And 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 the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your
enemies.
NU-10:10 Also 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] the LORD your God.
NU-10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the
second month, in
the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the
tabernacle of the
testimony.
NU-10:12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of
the wilderness
of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
NU-10:13 And they first took their journey according to the
commandment of
the LORD by the hand of Moses.
NU-10:14 In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of
the children
of Judah according to their armies: and over his host [was]
Nahshon the son of
Amminadab.
NU-10:15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Issachar [was]
Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
NU-10:16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Zebulun [was]
Eliab the son of Helon.
NU-10:17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of
Gershon and the
sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
NU-10:18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward
according to
their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the son of Shedeur.
NU-10:19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Simeon [was]
Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
NU-10:20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad
[was] Eliasaph
the son of Deuel.
NU-10:21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary:
and [the
other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.
NU-10:22 And the standard of the camp of the children of
Ephraim set forward
according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elishama the
son of
Ammihud.
NU-10:23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Manasseh [was]
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
NU-10:24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Benjamin [was]
Abidan the son of Gideoni.
NU-10:25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan
set forward,
[which was] the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts:
and over his
host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
NU-10:26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Asher [was] Pagiel
the son of Ocran.
NU-10:27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of
Naphtali [was]
Ahira the son of Enan.
NU-10:28 Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel
according to
their armies, when they set forward.
NU-10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the
Midianite, Moses'
father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the
LORD said, I will
give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for
the LORD hath
spoken good concerning Israel.
NU-10:30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart
to mine own
land, and to my kindred.
NU-10:31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as
thou knowest
how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us
instead of
eyes.
NU-10:32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be,
that what
goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto
thee.
NU-10:33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three
days' journey:
and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the
three days'
journey, to search out a resting place for them.
NU-10:34 And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when
they went out
of the camp.
NU-10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that
Moses said, Rise
up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that
hate thee flee
before thee.
NU-10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the
many thousands
of Israel.
