Numbers 10

New Living Translation NLT

1 Now the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver for calling the community to assemble and for signaling the breaking of camp.

3 When both trumpets are blown, everyone must gather before you at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

4 But if only one trumpet is blown, then only the leaders—the heads of the clans of Israel—must present themselves to you.

5 “When you sound the signal to move on, the tribes camped on the east side of the Tabernacle must break camp and move forward.

6 When you sound the signal a second time, the tribes camped on the south will follow. You must sound short blasts as the signal for moving on.

7 But when you call the people to an assembly, blow the trumpets with a different signal.

8 Only the priests, Aaron’s descendants, are allowed to blow the trumpets. This is a permanent law for you, to be observed from generation to generation.

9 “When you arrive in your own land and go to war against your enemies who attack you, sound the alarm with the trumpets. Then the LORD your God will remember you and rescue you from your enemies.

10 Blow the trumpets in times of gladness, too, sounding them at your annual festivals and at the beginning of each month. And blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and peace offerings. The trumpets will remind your God of his covenant with you. I am the LORD your God.”

11 In the second year after Israel’s departure from Egypt—on the twentieth day of the second month —the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle of the Covenant.

12 So the Israelites set out from the wilderness of Sinai and traveled on from place to place until the cloud stopped in the wilderness of Paran.

13 When the people set out for the first time, following the instructions the LORD had given through Moses,

14 Judah’s troops led the way. They marched behind their banner, and their leader was Nahshon son of Amminadab.

15 They were joined by the troops of the tribe of Issachar, led by Nethanel son of Zuar,

16 and the troops of the tribe of Zebulun, led by Eliab son of Helon.

17 Then the Tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonite and Merarite divisions of the Levites were next in the line of march, carrying the Tabernacle with them.

18 Reuben’s troops went next, marching behind their banner. Their leader was Elizur son of Shedeur.

19 They were joined by the troops of the tribe of Simeon, led by Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai,

20 and the troops of the tribe of Gad, led by Eliasaph son of Deuel.

21 Next came the Kohathite division of the Levites, carrying the sacred objects from the Tabernacle. Before they arrived at the next camp, the Tabernacle would already be set up at its new location.

22 Ephraim’s troops went next, marching behind their banner. Their leader was Elishama son of Ammihud.

23 They were joined by the troops of the tribe of Manasseh, led by Gamaliel son of Pedahzur,

24 and the troops of the tribe of Benjamin, led by Abidan son of Gideoni.

25 Dan’s troops went last, marching behind their banner and serving as the rear guard for all the tribal camps. Their leader was Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.

26 They were joined by the troops of the tribe of Asher, led by Pagiel son of Ocran,

27 and the troops of the tribe of Naphtali, led by Ahira son of Enan.

28 This was the order in which the Israelites marched, division by division.

29 One day Moses said to his brother-in-law, Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, “We are on our way to the place the LORD promised us, for he said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised wonderful blessings for Israel!”

30 But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go. I must return to my own land and family.”

31 “Please don’t leave us,” Moses pleaded. “You know the places in the wilderness where we should camp. Come, be our guide.

32 If you do, we’ll share with you all the blessings the LORD gives us.”

33 They marched for three days after leaving the mountain of the LORD, with the Ark of the LORD ’s Covenant moving ahead of them to show them where to stop and rest.

34 As they moved on each day, the cloud of the LORD hovered over them.

35 And whenever the Ark set out, Moses would shout, “Arise, O LORD, and let your enemies be scattered! Let them flee before you!”

36 And when the Ark was set down, he would say, “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel!”

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses:

2 "Make two bugles of hammered silver. Use them to call the congregation together and give marching orders to the camps.

3 When you blow them, the whole community will meet you at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

4 "When a bugle gives a single, short blast, that's the signal for the leaders, the heads of the clans, to assemble.

5 When it gives a long blast, that's the signal to march. At the first blast the tribes who were camped on the east set out.

6 At the second blast the camps on the south set out. The long blasts are the signals to march.

7 The bugle call that gathers the assembly is different from the signal to march.

8 "The sons of Aaron, the priests, are in charge of blowing the bugles; it's their assigned duty down through the generations.

9 When you go to war against an aggressor, blow a long blast on the bugle so that God will notice you and deliver you from your enemies.

10 Also at times of celebration, at the appointed feasts and New Moon festivals, blow the bugles over your Whole-Burnt-Offerings and Peace-Offerings: they will keep your attention on God. I am God, your God." The March from Sinai to Paran

11 In the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the Cloud went up from over The Dwelling of The Testimony.

12 At that the People of Israel set out on their travels from the Wilderness of Sinai until the Cloud finally settled in the Wilderness of Paran.

13 They began their march at the command of God through Moses.

14 The flag of the camp of Judah led the way, rank after rank under the command of Nahshon son of Amminadab.

15 Nethanel son of Zuar commanded the forces of the tribe of Issachar,

16 and Eliab son of Helon commanded the forces of the tribe of Zebulun.

17 As soon as The Dwelling was taken down, the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, carrying The Dwelling.

18 The flag of the camp of Reuben was next with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.

19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai commanded the forces of the tribe of Simeon;

20 Eliasaph son of Deuel commanded the forces of the tribe of Gad.

21 Then the Kohathites left, carrying the holy things. By the time they arrived The Dwelling would be set up.

22 The flag of the tribe of Ephraim moved out next, commanded by Elishama son of Ammihud.

23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur commanded the forces of the tribe of Manasseh;

24 Abidan son of Gideoni commanded the forces of the tribe of Benjamin.

25 Finally, under the flag of the tribe of Dan, the rear guard of all the camps marched out with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.

26 Pagiel son of Ocran commanded the forces of the tribe of Asher;

27 Ahira son of Enan commanded the forces of the tribe of Naphtali.

28 These were the marching units of the People of Israel. They were on their way.

29 Moses said to his brother-in-law Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We're marching to the place about which God promised, 'I'll give it to you.' Come with us; we'll treat you well. God has promised good things for Israel."

30 But Hobab said, "I'm not coming; I'm going back home to my own country, to my own family."

31 Moses countered, "Don't leave us. You know all the best places to camp in the wilderness. We need your eyes.

32 If you come with us, we'll make sure that you share in all the good things God will do for us."

33 And so off they marched. From the Mountain of God they marched three days with the Chest of the Covenant of God in the lead to scout out a campsite.

34 The Cloud of God was above them by day when they marched from the camp.

35 With the Chest leading the way, Moses would say, Get up, God! Put down your enemies! Chase those who hate you to the hills!

36 And when the Chest was set down, he would say, Rest with us, God, Stay with the many, Many thousands of Israel.
