CHAPTER 10 The Signal of the Trumpets

1 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Make for yourself two trumpets of silver! A hammered work you shall make them, and they will be for you to call the congregation, and to lift away the camps. 3 And you shall trump with them, and bring together all the congregation unto the door of the tent of the testimony. 4 But if [²with ³one sound ¹they should trump], then shall come forward to you all the rulers of the heads of Israel. 5 And you shall trump a signal, and shall lift away the camps camping according to the east. 6 And you shall trump for a signal a second time, and shall lift away the camps camping according to the south. And you shall trump [²signal ¹a third], and shall lift away the camps camping by the west. And you shall trump [²signal ¹a fourth], and shall lift away the camps camping towards the north. [²a signal ¹You shall trump] at their departure. 7 And whenever you should bring together the congregation, you shall trump, but not a signal. 8 And the sons of Aaron the priests shall trump with the trumpets; and it will be to you [²law ¹an eternal] unto your generations. 9 But if you should go forth to war in your land against the opponents opposing you, then you shall signify with the trumpets; and you will be called to mind before the lord your God, and you shall be preserved from your enemies. 10 And in the days of your gladness, and in your holidays, and in your new moons, you shall trump with the trumpets at the whole burnt-offerings, and at the sacrifices of your deliverance offerings. And it shall be to you for a remembrance before your God. I am the lord your God.

The Cloud Ascends

11 And it came to pass in the [²year ¹second], in the [²month ¹second], the twentieth of the month, [³ascended ¹the ²cloud] from the tent of the testimony. 12 And [⁴lifted away ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] with their chattel in the wilderness of Sinai. And [³stopped ¹the ²cloud] in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And [²lifted away ¹the first ranks] by the voice of the lord by the hand of Moses. 14 And they lifted away in order, the camp of the sons of Judah first with their force. And over their force was Nahshon son of Amminadab. 15 And over the force of the tribe of the sons of Issachar was Nethaneel son of Zuar. 16 And over the force of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun was Eliab son of Helon. 17 And they shall lower the tent, and [⁴shall lift away ¹the ²sons ³of Gershon], and the sons of Merari, the ones carrying the tent. 18 And lifted away in order the camp of Reuben with their force. And over their force was Elizur son of Shedeur. 19 And over the force of the tribe of the sons of Simeon was Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the force of the tribe of the sons of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 21 And [⁴shall lift away ¹the ²sons ³of Kohath] carrying the holy things. And they shall set up the tent until when they should arrive. 22 And shall lift away in order the camp of Ephraim with their force. And over his force was Elishama son of Ammihud. 23 And over the force of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the force of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 25 And shall lift away in order the camp of the sons of Dan last of all the camps with their force. And over their force was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the force of the tribe of the sons of Asher was Pagiel son of Ocran. 27 And over the force of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali was Ahira son of Enan. 28 These are the militaries of the sons of Israel. And they lifted away with their force. 29 And Moses said to Hobab son of Raguel the Midianite father-in-law of Moses, We are lifting away unto the place which the lord said, This I will give to you. Come with us and [²good ³for you ¹we will do], for the lord spoke good concerning Israel. 30 And he said to him, I shall not go; but unto my land, and unto my family I will go. 31 And he said, You should not abandon us, because you were with us in the wilderness, and you will be among us as an ambassador. 32 And it shall be if you should go with us, that it shall be the good things that whatever as many as the lord shall do good for us, also [²good ³for you ¹we shall do]. 33 And they lifted away from the mountain of the lord, a journey of three days. And the ark of covenant of the lord went forth in front of them, a journey of three days, to survey themselves a rest. 34 And the cloud of the lord came to pass shadowing over them by day in their lifting away from out of the camp. 35 And it came to pass in the lifting away the ark, that Moses said, Awaken! O lord, and let [²be dispersed ¹your enemies]! and let flee all the ones detesting you! 36 And in the resting, he said, Turn! O lord, thousands of myriads in Israel.
