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.

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.

²`Make to thee two trumpets of silver; beaten work thou dost make them, and they have been to thee for the convocation of the company, and for the journeying of the camps;

³and they have blown with them, and all the company have met together unto thee, unto the opening of the tent of meeting.

⁴And if with one they blow, then have the princes, heads of the thousands of Israel, met together unto thee;

⁵`And ye have blowna shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed.

⁶`And ye have blowna second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; a shout they blow for their journeys.

⁷`And in the assembling of the assembly ye blow, and do not shout;

⁸and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and they have been to you for a statute age-during to your generations.

⁹`And when ye go into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then ye have shouted with the trumpets, and ye have been remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye have been saved from your enemies.

¹⁰`And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and in the beginnings of your months, ye have blown also with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been to you for a memorial before your God; I, Jehovah, am your God.'
