10:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
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.
10:4 And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet], then the
princes, [who are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall
assemble themselves to thee.
10:5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east
parts shall go forward.
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.
10:7 But when the congregation is to be convened, ye shall blow,
but ye shall not sound an alarm.
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.
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.
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.
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.
10:12 And the children of Israel took their journeys from the
wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of
Paran.
10:13 And they first took their journey according to the
commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
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.
10:15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar
[was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
10:16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun
[was] Eliab the son of Helon.
10:17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon
and the sons of Merari moved forward, bearing the tabernacle.
10:18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben moved forward
according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the
son of Shedeur.
10:19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon
[was] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
10:20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad
[was] Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
10:21 And the Kohathites moved forward, bearing the sanctuary:
and [the other] set up the tabernacle against they came.
10:22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim
moved forward according to their armies: and over his host
[was] Elishama the son of Ammihud.
10:23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh
[was] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
10:24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
[was] Abidan the son of Gideoni.
10:25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan moved
forward, [which was] the rear-ward of all the camps throughout
their hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai.
10:26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher
[was] Pagiel the son of Ocran.
10:27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali
[was] Ahira the son of Enan.
10:28 Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel
according to their armies, when they moved forward.
10:29 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite,
Moses's father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which
the LORD said, I will give it to you: come thou with us, and we
will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning
Israel.
10:30 And he said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my
own land, and to my kindred.
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.
10:32 And it shall be, if thou wilt go with us, yea, it shall
be, that what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will
we do to thee.
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 seek a resting-place for
them.
10:34 And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when
they went out of the camp.
10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark moved forward, that
Moses said, Arise, LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and
let them that hate thee flee before thee.
10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the many
thousands of Israel.
