Numbers 10:22-32

22 moverunt castra et filii Ephraim per turmas suas in quorum exercitu princeps erat Helisama filius Ammiud

23 in tribu autem filiorum Manasse princeps fuit Gamalihel filius Phadassur

24 et in tribu Beniamin dux Abidan filius Gedeonis

25 novissimi castrorum omnium profecti sunt filii Dan per turmas suas in quorum exercitu princeps fuit Ahiezer filius Amisaddai

26 in tribu autem filiorum Aser erat princeps Phagaihel filius Ochran

27 et in tribu filiorum Nepthalim princeps Achira filius Henan

28 haec sunt castra et profectiones filiorum Israhel per turmas suas quando egrediebantur

29 dixitque Moses Hobab filio Rahuhel Madianiti cognato suo proficiscimur ad locum quem Dominus daturus est nobis veni nobiscum ut benefaciamus tibi quia Dominus bona promisit Israheli

30 cui ille respondit non vadam tecum sed revertar in terram meam in qua natus sum

31 et ille noli inquit nos relinquere tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus et eris ductor noster

32 cumque nobiscum veneris quicquid optimum fuerit ex opibus quas nobis traditurus est Dominus dabimus tibi
