Numbers 10:9-19

9 si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos clangetis ululantibus tubis et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum

10 si quando habebitis epulum et dies festos et kalendas canetis tubis super holocaustis et pacificis victimis ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri ego Dominus Deus vester

11 anno secundo mense secundo vicesima die mensis elevata est nubes de tabernaculo foederis

12 profectique sunt filii Israhel per turmas suas de deserto Sinai et recubuit nubes in solitudine Pharan

13 moveruntque castra primi iuxta imperium Domini in manu Mosi

14 filii Iuda per turmas suas quorum princeps erat Naasson filius Aminadab

15 in tribu filiorum Isachar fuit princeps Nathanahel filius Suar

16 in tribu Zabulon erat princeps Heliab filius Helon

17 depositumque est tabernaculum quod portantes egressi sunt filii Gerson et Merari

18 profectique sunt et filii Ruben per turmas et ordinem suum quorum princeps erat Helisur filius Sedeur

19 in tribu autem filiorum Symeon princeps fuit Salamihel filius Surisaddai
