Listen to Números 10

La seƱal de las trompetas

1 El SEƑOR le dijo a MoisĆ©s:
2 «Hazte dos trompetas de plata labrada, y úsalas para reunir al pueblo acampado y para dar la señal de ponerse en marcha.
3 Cuando ambas trompetas den el toque de reunión, toda la comunidad se reunirÔ contigo a la entrada de la Tienda de reunión.
4 Cuando solo una de ellas dé el toque, se reunirÔn contigo únicamente los jefes de las tribus de Israel.
5 Al primer toque de avance, se pondrƔn en marcha las tribus que acampan al este,
6 y al segundo, las que acampan al sur. Es decir, la seƱal de partida serƔ el toque de avance.
7 Cuando se quiera reunir a la comunidad, el toque de reunión que se dé serÔ diferente.
8 »Las trompetas las tocarÔn los sacerdotes aaronitas. Esto serÔ un estatuto perpetuo para ustedes y sus descendientes.
9 Ā»Cuando estĆ©n ya en su propia tierra y tengan que salir a la guerra contra el enemigo opresor, las trompetas darĆ”n la seƱal de combate. Entonces el SEƑOR se acordarĆ” de ustedes y los salvarĆ” de sus enemigos.
10 Ā»Cuando celebren fiestas en fechas solemnes o en novilunios, tambiĆ©n tocarĆ”n trompetas para anunciar los holocaustos y los sacrificios de comunión. AsĆ­ Dios se acordarĆ” de ustedes. Yo soy el SEƑOR tu DiosĀ».

Desde el Sinaƭ hasta ParƔn

11 El día veinte del segundo mes del año segundo, la nube se levantó del santuario del pacto.
12 Entonces los israelitas avanzaron desde el desierto de Sinaƭ hasta el desierto de ParƔn, donde la nube se detuvo.
13 A la orden que el SEƑOR dio por medio de MoisĆ©s, los israelitas emprendieron la marcha por primera vez.
14 Los primeros en partir fueron los escuadrones que marchaban bajo el estandarte del campamento de JudÔ. Los comandaba Naasón hijo de Aminadab.
15 Natanael hijo de Zuar comandaba el escuadrón de la tribu de Isacar.
16 Eliab hijo de Helón comandaba el escuadrón de la tribu de Zabulón.
17 Entonces se desmontó el santuario, y los guersonitas y meraritas que lo transportaban se pusieron en marcha.
18 Les siguieron los escuadrones que marchaban bajo el estandarte del campamento de Rubén. Los comandaba Elisur hijo de Sedeúr.
19 Selumiel hijo de Zurisaday comandaba el escuadrón de la tribu de Simeón,
20 y Eliasaf hijo de Deuel comandaba el escuadrón de la tribu de Gad.
21 Luego partieron los coatitas, que llevaban las cosas sagradas. El santuario se levantaba antes de que ellos llegaran al próximo lugar de campamento.
22 Les siguieron los escuadrones que marchaban bajo el estandarte del campamento de EfraĆ­n. Los comandaba Elisama hijo de Amiud.
23 Gamaliel hijo de Pedasur comandaba el escuadrón de la tribu de Manasés,
24 y AbidÔn hijo de Gedeoni comandaba el escuadrón de la tribu de Benjamín.
25 Por Ćŗltimo, a la retaguardia de todos los campamentos, partieron los escuadrones que marchaban bajo el estandarte del campamento de Dan. Los comandaba Ajiezer hijo de Amisaday.
26 Paguiel hijo de OcrÔn comandaba el escuadrón de la tribu de Aser,
27 y AjirÔ hijo de EnÔn comandaba el escuadrón de la tribu de Neftalí.
28 Este era el orden de los escuadrones israelitas, cuando se ponĆ­an en marcha.

MoisƩs invita a Hobab

29 Entonces MoisĆ©s le dijo al madianita Hobab hijo de Reuel, que era su suegro:—Estamos por partir hacia la tierra que el SEƑOR prometió darnos. Ven con nosotros. Seremos generosos contigo, ya que el SEƑOR ha prometido ser generoso con Israel.
30 —No, no irĆ© —respondió Hobab—; quiero regresar a mi tierra y a mi familia.
31 —Por favor, no nos dejes —insistió MoisĆ©s—. TĆŗ conoces bien los lugares del desierto donde debemos acampar. TĆŗ serĆ”s nuestro guĆ­a.
32 Si vienes con nosotros, compartiremos contigo todo lo bueno que el SEƑOR nos dĆ©.

Israel se pone en marcha

33 Los israelitas partieron de la montaƱa del SEƑOR y anduvieron por espacio de tres dĆ­as, durante los cuales el arca del pacto del SEƑOR marchaba al frente de ellos para buscarles un lugar donde acampar.
34 Cuando partƭan, la nube del SEƑOR permanecƭa sobre ellos todo el dƭa.
35 Cada vez que el arca se ponĆ­a en marcha, MoisĆ©s decĆ­a:«”LevĆ”ntate, SEƑOR!Sean dispersados tus enemigos;huyan de tu presencia los que te odianĀ».
36 Pero cada vez que el arca se detenĆ­a, MoisĆ©s decĆ­a:«”Regresa, SEƑOR,a la incontable muchedumbre de Israel!Ā»

Números 10 Commentary

Chapter 10

The silver trumpets. (1-10) The Israelites remove from Sinai to Paran. (11-28) Hobab entreated by Moses to continue. (29-32) The blessing pronounced by Moses. (33-36)

Verses 1-10 Here are directions concerning the public notices to be given the people by sound of trumpet. Their laws in every case were to be Divine, therefore, even in this matter Moses is directed. These trumpets typify the preached gospel. It sounds an alarm to sinners, calls them to repent, proclaims liberty to the captives and slaves of Satan, and collects the worshippers of God. It directs and encourages their heavenly journey; stirs them up to combat against the world and sin, encouraging them with the assurance of victory. It leads their attention to the sacrifice of Christ, and shows the Lord's presence for their protection. It is also necessary that the gospel trumpet give a distinct sound, according to the persons addressed, or the end proposed; whether to convince, humble, console, exhort, reprove, or teach. The sounding of the trumpet of the gospel is God's ordinance, and demands the attention of all to whom it is sent.

Verses 11-28 After the Israelites had continued nearly a year at mount Sinai, and all was settled respecting their future worship, they began their march to Canaan. True religion begins with the knowledge of the holy law of God, and humiliation for sin, but we must go on towards perfection, in acquaintance with Christ and his gospel, and those effectual encouragements, motives, and assistances to holiness, which it proposes. They took their journey according to the commandment of the Lord, ( Deuteronomy 1:6-8 ) , and as the cloud led them. Those who give themselves to the direction of God's word and Spirit, steer a steady course, even when they seem bewildered. While they are sure they cannot lose their God and Guide, they need not fear losing their way. They went out of the wilderness of Sinai, and rested in the wilderness of Paran. All our removes in this world are but from one wilderness to another. The changes we think will be for the better do not always prove so. We shall never be at rest, never at home, till we come to heaven, but all will be well there.

Verses 29-32 Moses invites his kindred to go to Canaan. Those that are bound for the heavenly Canaan, should ask and encourage their friends to go with them: we shall have none the less of the joys of heaven, for others coming to share with us. It is good having fellowship with those who have fellowship with God. But the things of this world, which are seen, draw strongly from the pursuit of the things of the other world, which are not seen. Moses urges that Hobab might be serviceable to them. Not to show where they must encamp, nor what way they must march, the cloud was to direct that; but to show the conveniences of the place they marched through, and encamped in. It well consists with our trust in God's providence, to use the help of our friends.

Verses 33-36 Their going out and coming in, gives an example to us to begin and end every day's journey and every day's work with prayer. Here is Moses's prayer when the ark set forward, "Rise up, and let thine enemies be scattered." There are those in the world who are enemies to God and haters of him; secret and open enemies; enemies to his truths, his laws, his ordinances, his people. But for the scattering and defeating of God's enemies, there needs no more than God's arising. Observe also the prayer of Moses when the ark rested, that God would cause his people to rest. The welfare and happiness of the Israel of God, consist in the continual presence of God among them. Their safety is not in their numbers, but in the favour of God, and his gracious return to them, and resting with them. Upon this account, Happy art thou, O Israel! who is like unto thee, O people! God will go before them, to find them resting-places by the way. His promise is, and their prayers are, that he will never leave them nor forsake them.
