10 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying, 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. 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. 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. 5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps
that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 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. 7 But when the congregation is to be gathered
together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. 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. 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. 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. 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. 12 And the children of Israel took their
journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness
of Paran. 13 And they first took their journey according
to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 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. 15 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17 And the tabernacle was taken down;
and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the
tabernacle.
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. 19 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the
son of Zurishaddai. 20 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son
of Deuel. 21 And
the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set
up the tabernacle against they came. 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. 23 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the
son of Pedahzur. 24 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the
son of Gideoni. 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. 26 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son
of Ocran. 27 And
over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son
of Enan. 28 Thus
were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies,
when they set forward. 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. 30 And
he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and
to my kindred. 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. 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. 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. 34 And
the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the
camp. 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. 36 And
when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
