1The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
2“Make <06213> two <08147> trumpets <02689> of silver <03701>; you are to make <06213> them from a single hammered piece <04749>. You will use <01961> them for assembling <04744> the community <05712> and for directing the traveling <04550> of the camps <04264>.
3When they blow <08628> them both, all <03605> the community <05712> must come <03259> to <0413> you to <0413> the entrance <06607> of the tent <0168> of meeting <04150>.
4“But if <0518> they blow <08628> with one <0259> trumpet, then the leaders <05387>, the heads <07218> of the thousands <0505> of Israel <03478>, must come <03259> to <0413> you.
5When you blow <08628> an alarm <08643>, then the camps <04264> that are located <02583> on the east <06924> side must begin to travel <05265>.
6And when you blow <08628> an alarm <08643> the second <08145> time, then the camps <04264> that are located <02583> on the south side <08486> must begin to travel <05265>. An alarm <08643> must be sounded <08628> for their journeys <04550>.
7But when you assemble <06950> the community <06951>, you must blow <08628>, but you must not <03808> sound an alarm <07321>.
8The sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>, the priests <03548>, must blow <08628> the trumpets <02689>; and they will be <01961> to you for an eternal <05769> ordinance <02708> throughout your generations <01755>.
9If <03588> you go <0935> to war <04421> in your land <0776> against <05921> an adversary <06862> who opposes <06887> you, then you must sound an alarm <07321> with the trumpets <02689>, and you will be remembered <02142> before <06440> the Lord <03068> your God <0430>, and you will be saved <03467> from your enemies <0341>.
10“Also in the time <03117> when you rejoice <08057>, such as on your appointed festivals <04150> or at the beginnings <07218> of your months <02320>, you must blow <08628> with your trumpets <02689> over <05921> your burnt offerings <05930> and over <05921> the sacrifices <02077> of your peace offerings <08002>, so that they may become <01961> a memorial <02146> for you before <06440> your God <0430>: I <0589> am the Lord <03068> your God <0430>.”
11On the twentieth <06242> day of the second <08145> month <02320>, in the second <08145> year <08141>, the cloud <06051> was <01961> taken up <05927> from <05921> the tabernacle <04908> of the testimony <05715>.
12So the Israelites <03478> <01121> set out <05265> on their journeys <04550> from the wilderness <04057> of Sinai <05514>; and the cloud <06051> settled <07931> in the wilderness <04057> of Paran <06290>.
13This was the first time <07223> they set out on <05265> their journey <05265> according <05921> to the commandment <06310> of the Lord <03068>, by the authority <03027> of Moses <04872>.
14The standard <01714> of the camp <04264> of the Judahites <03063> <01121> set out <05265> first <07223> according to their companies <06635>, and over <05921> his company <06635> was Nahshon <05177> son <01121> of Amminadab <05992>.
15Over <05921> the company <06635> of the tribe <04294> of Issacharites <03485> <01121> was Nathanel <05417> son <01121> of Zuar <06686>,
16and over <05921> the company <06635> of the tribe <04294> of the Zebulunites <02074> <01121> was Elion <0446> son <01121> of Helon <02497>.
17Then the tabernacle <04908> was dismantled <03381>, and the sons <01121> of Gershon <01648> and the sons <01121> of Merari <04847> set out <05265>, carrying <05375> the tabernacle <04908>.
18The standard <01714> of the camp <04264> of Reuben <07205> set out <05265> according to their companies <06635>; over <05921> his company <06635> was Elizur <0468> son <01121> of Shedeur <07707>.
19Over <05921> the company <06635> of the tribe <04294> of the Simeonites <08095> <01121> was Shelumiel <08017> son <01121> of Zurishaddai <06701>,
20and over <05921> the company <06635> of the tribe <04294> of the Gadites <01410> <01121> was Eliasaph <0460> son <01121> of Deuel <01845>.
21And the Kohathites <06956> set out <05265>, carrying <05375> the articles for the sanctuary <04720>; the tabernacle <04908> was to be set up <06965> before <05704> they arrived <0935>.
22And the standard <01714> of the camp <04264> of the Ephraimites <0669> <01121> set out <05265> according to their companies <06635>; over <05921> his company <06635> was Elishama <0476> son <01121> of Ammihud <05989>.
23Over <05921> the company <06635> of the tribe <04294> of the Manassehites <04519> <01121> was Gamaliel <01583> son <01121> of Pedahzur <06301>,
24and over <05921> the company <06635> of the tribe <04294> of Benjaminites <01144> was Abidan <027> son <01121> <01121> of Gideoni <01441>.
25The standard <01714> of the camp <04264> of the Danites <01835> <01121> set out <05265>, which was the rear guard <0622> of all <03605> the camps <04264> by their companies <06635>; over <05921> his company <06635> was Ahiezer <0295> son <01121> of Ammishaddai <05996>.
26Over <05921> the company <06635> of the tribe <04294> of the Asherites <0836> <01121> was Pagiel <06295> son <01121> of Ocran <05918>,
27and over <05921> the company <06635> of the tribe <04294> of the Naphtalites <05321> <01121> was Ahira <0299> son <01121> of Enan <05881>.
28These <0428> were the traveling arrangements <04550> of the Israelites <03478> <01121> according to their companies <06635> when they traveled <05265>.
29Moses <04872> said <0559> to Hobab <02246> son <01121> of Reuel <07467>, the Midianite <04084>, Moses <04872>’ father-in-law <02859>, “We <0587> are journeying <05265> to <0413> the place <04725> about which <0834> the Lord <03068> said <0559>, ‘I will give <05414> it to you.’ Come <01980> with <0854> us and we will treat <03190> you well <03190>, for <03588> the Lord <03068> has promised <01696> good <02896> things for <05921> Israel <03478>.”
30But Hobab said <0559> to <0413> him, “I will not <03808> go <01980>, but I will go <01980> instead <0518> <03588> to <0413> my own land <0776> and to <0413> my kindred <04138>.”
31Moses said <0559>, “Do not <0408> leave <05800> us, because <03651> <05921> <03588> you know <03045> places for us to camp <02583> in the wilderness <04057>, and you could be <01961> our guide <05869>.
32And if <03588> you come <01980> with <05973> us, it <01931> is <01961> certain that whatever <0834> good <02896> things the Lord <03068> will favor <03190> us with <05973>, we will share <03190> with you as well.”
33So they traveled <05265> from the mountain <02022> of the Lord <03068> three <07969> days <03117>’ journey <01870>; and the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the Lord <03068> was traveling <05265> before <06440> them during the three <07969> days <03117>’ journey <01870>, to find <08446> a resting place <04496> for them.
34And the cloud <06051> of the Lord <03068> was over <05921> them by day <03119>, when they traveled <05265> from <04480> the camp <04264>.
35And when <01961> the ark <0727> traveled <05265>, Moses <04872> would say <0559>, “Rise up <06965>, O Lord <03068>! May your enemies <0341> be scattered <06327>, and may those who hate <08130> you flee <05127> before <06440> you!”
36And when it came to rest <05117> he would say <0559>, “Return <07725>, O Lord <03068>, to the many <07233> thousands <0505> of Israel <03478>!”
