Numbers

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.
