10GOD spoke to Moses:H3068H1696H4872H5592"Make two bugles of hammered silver. Use them to call the congregation together and give marching orders to the camps.H6213H8147H2689H3701H4749H6213H1961H4744H5712H4550H42643When you blow them, the whole community will meet you at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.H8628H2004H5712H3259H6607H168H41504"When a bugle gives a single, short blast, that's the signal for the leaders, the heads of the clans, to assemble.H8628H259H5387H7218H505H3478H32595When 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.H8628H8643H4264H2583H6924H52656At the second blast the camps on the south set out. The long blasts are the signals to march.H8628H8643H8145H4264H2583H8486H5265H8628H8643H45507The bugle call that gathers the assembly is different from the signal to march.H6951H6950H8628H73218"The sons of Aaron, the priests, are in charge of blowing the bugles; it's their assigned duty down through the generations.H1121H175H3548H8628H2689H2708H5769H17559When 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.H935H4421H776H6862H6887H7321H2689H2142H6440H3068H430H3467H34110Also 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."H3117H8057H4150H7218H2320H8628H2689H5930H2077H8002H2146H6440H430H3068H430
The March from Sinai to Paran
11In the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the Cloud went up from over The Dwelling of The Testimony.H6242H8145H2320H8145H8141H6051H5927H4908H571512At 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.H1121H3478H5265H4550H4057H5514H6051H7931H4057H629013They began their march at the command of GOD through Moses.H7223H5265H6310H3068H3027H487214The flag of the camp of Judah led the way, rank after rank under the command of Nahshon son of Amminadab.H7223H5265H1714H4264H1121H3063H6635H5177H1121H599215Nethanel son of Zuar commanded the forces of the tribe of Issachar,H6635H4294H1121H3485H5417H1121H668616and Eliab son of Helon commanded the forces of the tribe of Zebulun.H6635H4294H1121H2074H446H1121H249717As soon as The Dwelling was taken down, the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, carrying The Dwelling.H4908H3381H1121H1648H1121H4847H5265H5375H490818The flag of the camp of Reuben was next with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.H1714H4264H7205H5265H6635H6635H468H1121H770719Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai commanded the forces of the tribe of Simeon;H6635H4294H1121H8095H8017H1121H670120Eliasaph son of Deuel commanded the forces of the tribe of Gad.H6635H4294H1121H1410H460H1121H184521Then the Kohathites left, carrying the holy things. By the time they arrived The Dwelling would be set up.H6956H5265H5375H4720H6965H4908H93522The flag of the tribe of Ephraim moved out next, commanded by Elishama son of Ammihud.H1714H4264H1121H669H5265H6635H6635H476H1121H598923Gamaliel son of Pedahzur commanded the forces of the tribe of Manasseh;H6635H4294H1121H4519H1583H1121H630124Abidan son of Gideoni commanded the forces of the tribe of Benjamin.H6635H4294H1121H1144H27H1121H144125Finally, under the flag of the tribe of Dan, the rear guard of all the camps marched out with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.H1714H4264H1121H1835H5265H622H4264H6635H6635H295H1121H599626Pagiel son of Ocran commanded the forces of the tribe of Asher;H6635H4294H1121H836H6295H1121H591827Ahira son of Enan commanded the forces of the tribe of Naphtali.H6635H4294H1121H5321H299H1121H588128These were the marching units of the People of Israel. They were on their way.H428H4550H1121H3478H6635H526529Moses 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."H4872H559H2246H1121H7467H4084H4872H2859H5265H4725H3068H559H5414H3212H2895H3068H1696H2896H347830But Hobab said, "I'm not coming; I'm going back home to my own country, to my own family."H559H3212H3212H776H413831Moses countered, "Don't leave us. You know all the best places to camp in the wilderness. We need your eyes.H559H5800H3651H3045H2583H4057H586932If you come with us, we'll make sure that you share in all the good things GOD will do for us."H3212H2896H3068H3190H289533And 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.H5265H2022H3068H7969H3117H1870H727H1285H3068H5265H6440H7969H3117H1870H8446H449634The Cloud of GOD was above them by day when they marched from the camp.H6051H3068H3119H5265H426435With the Chest leading the way, Moses would say, Get up, GOD! Put down your enemies! Chase those who hate you to the hills!H727H5265H4872H559H6965H3068H341H6327H8130H5127H644036And when the Chest was set down, he would say, Rest with us, GOD, Stay with the many, Many thousands of Israel.H5117H559H7725H3068H7233H505H3478
