Numbers 10

New Revised Standard NRS

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Make two silver trumpets; you shall make them of hammered work; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation, and for breaking camp.

3 When both are blown, the whole congregation shall assemble before you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

4 But if only one is blown, then the leaders, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall assemble before you.

5 When you blow an alarm, the camps on the east side shall set out;

6 when you blow a second alarm, the camps on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out.

7 But when the assembly is to be gathered, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.

8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; this shall be a perpetual institution for you throughout your generations.

9 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you may be remembered before the Lord your God and be saved from your enemies.

10 Also on your days of rejoicing, at your appointed festivals, and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over your sacrifices of well-being; they shall serve as a reminder on your behalf before the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.

11 In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the covenant.

12 Then the Israelites set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran.

13 They set out for the first time at the command of the Lord by Moses.

14 The standard of the camp of Judah set out first, company by company, and over the whole company was Nahshon son of Amminadab.

15 Over the company of the tribe of Issachar was Nethanel son of Zuar;

16 and over the company of the tribe of Zebulun was Eliab son of Helon.

17 Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites, who carried the tabernacle, set out.

18 Next the standard of the camp of Reuben set out, company by company; and over the whole company was Elizur son of Shedeur.

19 Over the company of the tribe of Simeon was Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai,

20 and over the company of the tribe of Gad was Eliasaph son of Deuel.

21 Then the Kohathites, who carried the holy things, set out; and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival.

22 Next the standard of the Ephraimite camp set out, company by company, and over the whole company was Elishama son of Ammihud.

23 Over the company of the tribe of Manasseh was Gamaliel son of Pedahzur,

24 and over the company of the tribe of Benjamin was Abidan son of Gideoni.

25 Then the standard of the camp of Dan, acting as the rear guard of all the camps, set out, company by company, and over the whole company was Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.

26 Over the company of the tribe of Asher was Pagiel son of Ochran,

27 and over the company of the tribe of Naphtali was Ahira son of Enan.

28 This was the order of march of the Israelites, company by company, when they set out.

29 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, "I will give it to you'; come with us, and we will treat you well; for the Lord has promised good to Israel."

30 But he said to him, "I will not go, but I will go back to my own land and to my kindred."

31 He said, "Do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us.

32 Moreover, if you go with us, whatever good the Lord does for us, the same we will do for you."

33 So they set out from the mount of the Lord three days' journey with the ark of the covenant of the Lord going before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them,

34 the cloud of the Lord being over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, "Arise, O Lord, let your enemies be scattered, and your foes flee before you."

36 And whenever it came to rest, he would say, "Return, O Lord of the ten thousand 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.
