Numbers 10

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work thou shall make them. And thou shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.

'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;

3 And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to thee at the door of the tent of meeting.

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

4 And if they blow but one, then the rulers, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to thee.

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

5 And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.

'And ye have blown — a shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed.

6 And 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.

'And ye have blown — a second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; a shout they blow for their journeys.

7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

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

8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets, and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.

and 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 to war in your land against the adversary that oppresses 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.

'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 Also 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.

'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.'

29 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it to you. Come thou with us, and we will do thee good, for Jehovah has spoken good concerning Israel.

And Moses saith to Hobab son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses, 'We are journeying unto the place of which Jehovah hath said, I give it to you; go with us, and we have done good to thee; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel.'

30 And he said to him, I will not go, but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.

And he saith unto him, 'I do not go; but unto my land and unto my kindred do I go.'

31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee, inasmuch as thou know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shall be to us instead of eyes.

And he saith, 'I pray thee, forsake us not, because thou hast known our encamping in the wilderness, and thou hast been to us for eyes;

32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that whatever good Jehovah shall do to us, the same we will do to thee.

and it hath come to pass when thou goest with us, yea, it hath come to pass — that good which Jehovah doth kindly with us — it we have done kindly to thee.'

33 And 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.

And they journey from the mount of Jehovah a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is journeying before them the journey of three days, to spy out for them a resting-place;

34 And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day when they set forward from the camp.

and the cloud of Jehovah [is] on them by day, in their journeying from the camp.

35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered, and let those who hate thee flee before thee.

And it cometh to pass in the journeying of the ark, that Moses saith, 'Rise, O Jehovah, and Thine enemies are scattered, and those hating Thee flee from Thy presence.'

36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Jehovah, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.

And in its resting he saith, 'Return, O Jehovah, [to] the myriads, the thousands of Israel.'
