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.

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

|
|
|
|
18

|
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad

|
|

|
21
|
And the Kohathites set forward# , bearing# the sanctuary: and
the other did set up# the tabernacle against they came# .
[the other: that is, the Gershonites and the Merarites]
|
|
|
|
22
|
And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward# according to their armies: and over his host

|
|

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.
|
|
|

|
28
|
Thus
were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward# .
[Thus: Heb. These]
|
|
|
|
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.
[many thousands: Heb. ten thousand thousands]
