Numbers 10 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Numbers 10
1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.
3And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting.
4And if they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.
6And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout your generations.
9And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.
11And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.
12And the children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran.
13And they first took their journey according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
14And in the first place the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
15And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.
16And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
17And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bare the tabernacle, set forward.
18And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
19And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
20And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
21And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: andthe others did set up the tabernacle against their coming.
22And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
23And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
24And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
25And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
26And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran.
27And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
28Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward.
29And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying unto the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel.
30And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
31And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes.
32And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever Jehovah shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
33And they set forward from the mount of Jehovah three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting-place for them.
34And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.
35And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
36And when it rested, he said, Return, O Jehovah, unto the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
Numbers 10
1Then the LORD said to Moses,
2“Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.
3When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
4But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.
5When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.
6When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.
7To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.
8The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.
9When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.
10And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”
11On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,
12and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.
13They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.
14First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.
15Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,
16and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.
17Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting it.
18Then the divisions of the camp of Reuben set out under their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.
19Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,
20and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.
21Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.
22Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.
23Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,
24and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.
25Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard, serving as the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.
26Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,
27and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.
28This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.
29Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”
30“I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”
31“Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.
32If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”
33So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.
34And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
35Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”
36And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
