And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
02 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.
03 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 And if they blow but with one trumpet,
then the princes, which are heads of the
thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto
thee.
05 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps
that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
06 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.
07 But when the congregation is to be
gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall
not sound an alarm.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 And the children of Israel took their
journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the
cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
13 And they first took their journey
according to the commandment of the Lord by the
hand of Moses.
14 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.
15 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of
Zuar.
16 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and
the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set
forward, bearing the tabernacle.
18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben
set forward according to their armies: and over
his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

19 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai.
20 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing
the sanctuary: and the other did set up the
tabernacle against they came.
22 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.
23 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of
Pedahzur.
24 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of
Gideoni.
25 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.
26 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
27 And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
28 Thus were the journeyings of the
children of Israel according to their armies,
when they set forward.
29 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.
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but
I will depart to mine own land, and to my
kindred.
31 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.
32 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.
33 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.
34 And the cloud of the Lord was upon them
by day, when they went out of the camp.
35 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.
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O
Lord, unto the many thousands of Israel.
