| # Chapter 10
| And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
| 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.
| And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
| And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, who are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall assemble themselves to thee.
| When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
| 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.
| But when the congregation is to be convened, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
| 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.
| 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.
| 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.
| 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.
| And the children of Israel took their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
| And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
| 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.
| And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
| And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
| And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari moved forward, bearing the tabernacle.
| And the standard of the camp of Reuben moved forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
| And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
| And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
| And the Kohathites moved forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other set up the tabernacle against they came.
| And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim moved forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
| And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
| And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
| And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan moved forward, which was the rear-ward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
| And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
| And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
| Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they moved forward.
| And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses's father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
| And he said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.
| 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.
| And it shall be, if thou wilt go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to thee.
| 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 seek a resting-place for them.
| And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
| And it came to pass, when the ark moved forward, that Moses said, Arise, LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
| And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel.
