Numbers 10
- 1
- 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.
