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. |
