Settings

30 But he said to him, "1I will not come, but rather * will go to my own land and relatives."
31 Then he said, "Please do not leave us, inasmuch * * as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you 2will be as eyes for us.
32 "So it will be, if you go with us, that 3whatever good the LORD does for us, 4we will do for you."
33 5Thus they set out from the mount of the LORD three days' journey, with 6the ark of the covenant of the LORD journeying in front of them for the three days, to seek out 7a resting place for them.
34 8The cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
35 Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said, "9Rise up, O LORD! And let Your enemies be scattered, And let those 10who hate You flee before * You."
36 When it came to rest, he said, "11Return, O LORD, To the myriad 12thousands of Israel."
