< Numbers 10 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
2 “Make two trumpets of silver for yourself; you make them of beaten work, and they have been for you for the convocation of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps;
עֲשֵׂה לְךָ שְׁתֵּי חֲצֽוֹצְרֹת כֶּסֶף מִקְשָׁה תַּעֲשֶׂה אֹתָם וְהָיוּ לְךָ לְמִקְרָא הָֽעֵדָה וּלְמַסַּע אֶת־הַֽמַּחֲנֽוֹת׃
3 and they have blown with them, and all the congregation has assembled to you at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.
וְתָקְעוּ בָּהֵן וְנֽוֹעֲדוּ אֵלֶיךָ כׇּל־הָעֵדָה אֶל־פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
4 And if they blow with one, then the princes, heads of the thousands of Israel, have assembled to you;
וְאִם־בְּאַחַת יִתְקָעוּ וְנוֹעֲדוּ אֵלֶיךָ הַנְּשִׂיאִים רָאשֵׁי אַלְפֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
5 and you have blown—a shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed.
וּתְקַעְתֶּם תְּרוּעָה וְנָֽסְעוּ הַֽמַּחֲנוֹת הַחֹנִים קֵֽדְמָה׃
6 And you have blown—a second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; they blow a shout for their journeys.
וּתְקַעְתֶּם תְּרוּעָה שֵׁנִית וְנָֽסְעוּ הַֽמַּחֲנוֹת הַחֹנִים תֵּימָנָה תְּרוּעָה יִתְקְעוּ לְמַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃
7 And in the assembling of the assembly you blow, and do not shout;
וּבְהַקְהִיל אֶת־הַקָּהָל תִּתְקְעוּ וְלֹא תָרִֽיעוּ׃
8 and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and they have been for a continuous statute to you throughout your generations.
וּבְנֵי אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֲנִים יִתְקְעוּ בַּחֲצֹֽצְרוֹת וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְחֻקַּת עוֹלָם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶֽם׃
9 And when you go into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then you have shouted with the trumpets, and you have been remembered before your God YHWH, and you have been saved from your enemies.
וְכִֽי־תָבֹאוּ מִלְחָמָה בְּאַרְצְכֶם עַל־הַצַּר הַצֹּרֵר אֶתְכֶם וַהֲרֵעֹתֶם בַּחֲצֹצְרֹת וְנִזְכַּרְתֶּם לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְנוֹשַׁעְתֶּם מֵאֹיְבֵיכֶֽם׃
10 And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and in the beginnings of your months, you have also blown with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been for a memorial to you before your God; I [am] your God YHWH.”
וּבְיוֹם שִׂמְחַתְכֶם וּֽבְמוֹעֲדֵיכֶם וּבְרָאשֵׁי חׇדְשֵׁיכֶם וּתְקַעְתֶּם בַּחֲצֹֽצְרֹת עַל עֹלֹתֵיכֶם וְעַל זִבְחֵי שַׁלְמֵיכֶם וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְזִכָּרוֹן לִפְנֵי אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
11 And it comes to pass, in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud has gone up from off the Dwelling Place of the Testimony,
וַיְהִי בַּשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי בְּעֶשְׂרִים בַּחֹדֶשׁ נַעֲלָה הֶֽעָנָן מֵעַל מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדֻֽת׃
12 and the sons of Israel journey in their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud dwells in the wilderness of Paran;
וַיִּסְעוּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמַסְעֵיהֶם מִמִּדְבַּר סִינָי וַיִּשְׁכֹּן הֶעָנָן בְּמִדְבַּר פָּארָֽן׃
13 and they journey at first by the command of YHWH in the hand of Moses.
וַיִּסְעוּ בָּרִאשֹׁנָה עַל־פִּי יְהֹוָה בְּיַד־מֹשֶֽׁה׃
14 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah journeys in the first [place], by their hosts, and over its host [is] Nahshon son of Amminadab.
וַיִּסַּע דֶּגֶל מַחֲנֵה בְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָה בָּרִאשֹׁנָה לְצִבְאֹתָם וְעַל־צְבָאוֹ נַחְשׁוֹן בֶּן־עַמִּינָדָֽב׃
15 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar [is] Nathaneel son of Zuar.
וְעַל־צְבָא מַטֵּה בְּנֵי יִשָּׂשכָר נְתַנְאֵל בֶּן־צוּעָֽר׃
16 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun [is] Eliab son of Helon.
וְעַל־צְבָא מַטֵּה בְּנֵי זְבוּלֻן אֱלִיאָב בֶּן־חֵלֹֽן׃
17 And the Dwelling Place has been taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari have journeyed, carrying the Dwelling Place.
וְהוּרַד הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְנָסְעוּ בְנֵֽי־גֵרְשׁוֹן וּבְנֵי מְרָרִי נֹשְׂאֵי הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben has journeyed, by their hosts, and over its host [is] Elizur son of Shedeur.
וְנָסַע דֶּגֶל מַחֲנֵה רְאוּבֵן לְצִבְאֹתָם וְעַל־צְבָאוֹ אֱלִיצוּר בֶּן־שְׁדֵיאֽוּר׃
19 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon [is] Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.
וְעַל־צְבָא מַטֵּה בְּנֵי שִׁמְעוֹן שְׁלֻֽמִיאֵל בֶּן־צוּרִֽישַׁדָּֽי׃
20 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad [is] Eliasaph son of Deuel.
וְעַל־צְבָא מַטֵּה בְנֵי־גָד אֶלְיָסָף בֶּן־דְּעוּאֵֽל׃
21 And the Kohathites have journeyed, carrying the Dwelling Place, and the [others] have raised up the Dwelling Place until their coming in.
וְנָסְעוּ הַקְּהָתִים נֹשְׂאֵי הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וְהֵקִימוּ אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן עַד־בֹּאָֽם׃
22 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim has journeyed, by their hosts, and over its host [is] Elishama son of Ammihud.
וְנָסַע דֶּגֶל מַחֲנֵה בְנֵֽי־אֶפְרַיִם לְצִבְאֹתָם וְעַל־צְבָאוֹ אֱלִישָׁמָע בֶּן־עַמִּיהֽוּד׃
23 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh [is] Gamalial son of Pedahzur.
וְעַל־צְבָא מַטֵּה בְּנֵי מְנַשֶּׁה גַּמְלִיאֵל בֶּן־פְּדָהצֽוּר׃
24 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin [is] Abidan son of Gideoni.
וְעַל־צְבָא מַטֵּה בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן אֲבִידָן בֶּן־גִּדְעוֹנִֽי׃
25 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan has journeyed (rearward to all the camps), by their hosts, and over its host [is] Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.
וְנָסַע דֶּגֶל מַחֲנֵה בְנֵי־דָן מְאַסֵּף לְכׇל־הַֽמַּחֲנֹת לְצִבְאֹתָם וְעַל־צְבָאוֹ אֲחִיעֶזֶר בֶּן־עַמִּישַׁדָּֽי׃
26 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher [is] Pagiel son of Ocran.

27 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali [is] Ahira son of Enan.
וְעַל־צְבָא מַטֵּה בְּנֵי נַפְתָּלִי אֲחִירַע בֶּן־עֵינָֽן׃
28 These [are] the journeys of the sons of Israel by their hosts when they journey.
אֵלֶּה מַסְעֵי בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְצִבְאֹתָם וַיִּסָּֽעוּ׃
29 And Moses says to Hobab son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses, “We are journeying to the place of which YHWH has said, I give it to you; go with us, and we have done good to you, for YHWH has spoken good concerning Israel.”
וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה לְחֹבָב בֶּן־רְעוּאֵל הַמִּדְיָנִי חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה נֹסְעִים ׀ אֲנַחְנוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהֹוָה אֹתוֹ אֶתֵּן לָכֶם לְכָה אִתָּנוּ וְהֵטַבְנוּ לָךְ כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה דִּבֶּר־טוֹב עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
30 And he says to him, “I do not go; but I go to my land and to my family.”
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו לֹא אֵלֵךְ כִּי אִם־אֶל־אַרְצִי וְאֶל־מוֹלַדְתִּי אֵלֵֽךְ׃
31 And he says, “Please do not forsake us, because you have known our encamping in the wilderness, and you have been to us for eyes;
וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־נָא תַּעֲזֹב אֹתָנוּ כִּי ׀ עַל־כֵּן יָדַעְתָּ חֲנֹתֵנוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר וְהָיִיתָ לָּנוּ לְעֵינָֽיִם׃
32 and it has come to pass, when you go with us—indeed, it has come to pass—that good which YHWH does kindly with us, we have done it kindly to you.”
וְהָיָה כִּי־תֵלֵךְ עִמָּנוּ וְהָיָה ׀ הַטּוֹב הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר יֵיטִיב יְהֹוָה עִמָּנוּ וְהֵטַבְנוּ לָֽךְ׃
33 And they journey from the mountain of YHWH a journey of three days; and the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH is journeying before them [for] the journey of three days, to spy out a resting place for them;
וַיִּסְעוּ מֵהַר יְהֹוָה דֶּרֶךְ שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים וַאֲרוֹן בְּרִית־יְהֹוָה נֹסֵעַ לִפְנֵיהֶם דֶּרֶךְ שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים לָתוּר לָהֶם מְנוּחָֽה׃
34 and the cloud of YHWH [is] on them by day, in their journeying from the camp.
וַעֲנַן יְהֹוָה עֲלֵיהֶם יוֹמָם בְּנׇסְעָם מִן־הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
35 And it comes to pass in the journeying of the Ark, that Moses says, “Rise, O YHWH, and Your enemies are scattered, and those hating You flee from Your presence.”
׆ וַיְהִי בִּנְסֹעַ הָאָרֹן וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה קוּמָה ׀ יְהֹוָה וְיָפֻצוּ אֹֽיְבֶיךָ וְיָנֻסוּ מְשַׂנְאֶיךָ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃
36 And in its resting he says, “Return, O YHWH, [to] the myriads, the thousands of Israel.”
וּבְנֻחֹה יֹאמַר שׁוּבָה יְהֹוָה רִֽבְבוֹת אַלְפֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ׆
