Numbers 10

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Make thee two trumpets of siluer: of an whole piece shalt thou make the, that thou mayest vse them for the assembling of the Congregation, and for the departure of the campe.

“Make for yourself two trumpets of ductile silver, with which you may be able to call together the multitude when the camp is to be moved.

3 And when they shall blowe with them, all the Congregation shall assemble to thee before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Cogregation.

And when you sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather to you at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.

4 But if they blowe with one, then the princes, or heades ouer the thousandes of Israel shall come vnto thee.

If you sound it only once, the leaders and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to you.

5 But if ye blow an alarme, then the campe of the that pitch on the East part, shall go forward.

But if the sound of the trumpets is prolonged, but with interruptions, those who are toward the east side shall move the camp first.

6 If ye blowe an alarme the second time, then the hoste of them that lie on the Southside shall march: for they shall blowe an alarme when they remoue.

Then, at the second sounding of the trumpet with the same cadence, those who live toward the south shall take up their tents. And the remainder shall act in like manner, when the trumpets shall reverberate for a departure.

7 But in assembling the Congregation, ye shall blowe without an alarme.

But when the people are to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be simple, and the sounds shall not be separated.

8 And the sonnes of Aaron the Priest shall blowe the trumpets, and ye shall haue them as a lawe for euer in your generations.

Now it is the sons of Aaron the priest who shall sound the trumpets. And this shall be an everlasting ordinance, in your generations.

9 And when ye goe to warre in your lande against the enemie that vexeth you, ye shall blowe an alarme with the trumpets, and ye shall bee remembred before the Lord your God, and shalbe saued from your enemies.

If you go forth to war from your land, against the enemies who set out against you, you shall sound the trumpets repeatedly, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, so that you may be rescued from the hands of your enemies.

10 Also in the day of your gladnesse, and in your feast dayes, and in the beginning of your moneths, ye shall also blow the trumpets ouer your burnt sacrifices, and ouer your peace offrings, that they may be a remembrance for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.

If at any time you will have a banquet, and on feast days, and on the first days of the months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts and the peace-offering victims, so that they may be for you as a remembrance by your God. I am the Lord your God.”

11 And in the seconde yeere, in the seconde moneth, and in the twentieth day of the moneth the cloude was taken vp from the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.

In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was lifted up from the tabernacle of the covenant.

12 And ye children of Israel departed on their iourneys out of the desart of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wildernesse of Paran.

And the sons of Israel set out by their companies from the desert of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

13 So they first tooke their iourney at the comandement of the Lord, by ye hand of Moses.

18 After, departed the standerd of the hoste of Reuben, according to their armies, and ouer his band was Elizur the sonne of Shedeur.

28 These were the remouings of the children of Israel according to their armies, whe they marched.

These were the camps and departures of the sons of Israel by their companies, when they went forth.

29 After, Moses said vnto Hobab ye sonne of Reuel the Midianite, ye father in law of Moses, We go into the place, of which ye Lord said, I will giue it you: Come thou with vs, and we wil doe thee good: for ye Lord hath promised good vnto Israel.

And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Midianite, his kinsman: “We are setting out to the place which the Lord will give to us. Come with us, so that we may do good to you. For the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

30 And he answered him, I will not goe: but I will depart to mine owne countrey, and to my kindred.

And he answered him, “I will not go with you, but I will return to my own land, in which I was born.”

31 Then he sayd, I pray thee, leaue vs not: for thou knowest our camping places in the wildernesse: therefore thou mayest be our guide.

And he said: “Do not choose to leave us. For you know in which places in the desert we ought to make camp, and so you shall be our guide.

32 And if thou go with vs, what goodnes the Lord shall shew vnto vs, the same will we shewe vnto thee.

And if you come with us, whatever will be best among the riches which the Lord will deliver to us, we will give to you.”

33 So they departed from the mount of the Lord, three dayes iourney: and the Arke of the couenant of the Lord went before them in the three dayes iourney, to searche out a resting place for them.

Therefore, they set out from the Mountain of the Lord on a journey of three days. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord preceded them, for three days, in order to provide a place for the camp.

34 And the cloude of the Lord was vpon the by day, when they went out of the campe.

Likewise, the cloud of the Lord was over them, throughout the day, while they proceeded.

35 And when the Arke went forwarde, Moses saide, Rise vp, Lord, and let thine enemies bee scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee before thee.

And when the ark was lifted up, Moses said, “Rise up, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee from your face.”

36 And when it rested, hee sayde, Returne, O Lord, to the many thousands of Israel.

And when it was set down, he said: “Return, O Lord, to the multitude of the army of Israel.”
