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 rereward 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.
