29
And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel, of Midian, his ally, either, (that is, the) father of his wife, We (shall) go forth to the place which the Lord shall give to us; come thou with us, that we do well to thee (come thou with us, and we shall treat thee well), for the Lord [hath] promised good things to Israel.
30
To whom he answered, I shall not go with thee, but I shall turn again into my land, in which I was born. (To whom he answered, I shall not go with thee, but I shall return to my own land, where I was born.)
31
And Moses said, Do not thou forsake us, for thou knowest in which places we ought to set tents (for thou knowest where it is best for us to pitch our tents), and thou shalt be our leader;
32
and when thou shalt come with us, whatever thing shall be (the) best of the riches that the Lord shall give to us, we shall give to thee.
33
And therefore they went forth from the hill of the Lord the way of three days; and the ark of the bond of peace of the Lord went before them, by those three days, and purveyed the places of their tents. (And so they went forth from Mount Sinai, the Lord's mountain, the way of three days; and the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, that is, the Ark of the Witnessing, always went ahead of them, to find a good place for their tents.)
34
And the cloud of the Lord was upon, or over, them by day, when they went forth.
35
And when the ark was raised (up), Moses said, Rise thou (up), Lord, and thine enemies be scattered, and they that hate thee, flee from thy face;
36
forsooth when the ark was put down, he said, Lord, turn again to the multitude of the host of Israel. (and when the Ark was put down, he said, O Lord, return to the multitudes of Israel's armies!)
