04:010:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:010:002 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou
make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the
assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
04:010:003 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall
assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
04:010:004 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which
are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves
unto thee.
04:010:005 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east
parts shall go forward.
04:010:006 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie
on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an
alarm for their journeys.
04:010:007 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall
blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
04:010:008 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the
trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever
throughout your generations.
04:010:009 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that
oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets;
and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye
shall be saved from your enemies.
04:010:010 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and
in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the
trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of
your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial
before your God: I am the LORD your God.
04:010:011 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month,
in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the
tabernacle of the testimony.
04:010:012 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the
wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of
Paran.
04:010:013 And they first took their journey according to the commandment
of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
04:010:014 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the
children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host
was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
04:010:015 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was
Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
04:010:016 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was
Eliab the son of Helon.
04:010:017 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and
the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
04:010:018 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according
to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of
Shedeur.
04:010:019 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was
Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
04:010:020 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was
Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
04:010:021 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the
other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
04:010:022 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set
forward according to their armies: and over his host was
Elishama the son of Ammihud.
04:010:023 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was
Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
04:010:024 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was
Abidan the son of Gideoni.
04:010:025 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set
forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout
their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai.
04:010:026 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was
Pagiel the son of Ocran.
04:010:027 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was
Ahira the son of Enan.
04:010:028 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according
to their armies, when they set forward.
04:010:029 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite,
Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of
which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us,
and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good
concerning Israel.
04:010:030 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine
own land, and to my kindred.
04:010:031 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou
knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou
mayest be to us instead of eyes.
04:010:032 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that
what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do
unto thee.
04:010:033 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days'
journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before
them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place
for them.
04:010:034 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went
out of the camp.
04:010:035 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses
said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and
let them that hate thee flee before thee.
04:010:036 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many
thousands of Israel.
