Chapter 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
rearward 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. |
