1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 ^o“The people of Israel shall camp each by his own standard, with the banners of their fathers’ houses.

17 ^t“Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps; as they camp, so shall they set out, each in position, standard by standard.

18 “On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim by their companies, the chief of the people of Ephraim being Elishama the son of Ammihud, 19 his company as listed being 40,500. 20 And next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh, the chief of the people of Manasseh being Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur, 21 his company as listed being 32,200. 22 Then the tribe of Benjamin, the chief of the people of Benjamin being Abidan the son of Gideoni, 23 his company as listed being 35,400. 24 All those listed of the camp of Ephraim, by their companies, were 108,100. ^uThey shall set out third on the march.

25 “On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan by their companies, the chief of the people of Dan being Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai, 26 his company as listed being 62,700. 27 And those to camp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher, the chief of the people of Asher being Pagiel the son of Ochran, 28 his company as listed being 41,500. 29 Then the tribe of Naphtali, the chief of the people of Naphtali being Ahira the son of Enan, 30 his company as listed being 53,400. 31 All those listed of the camp of Dan were 157,600. ^vThey shall set out last, standard by standard.”

34 Thus did the people of Israel. According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, ^yso they camped by their standards, and so they set out, each one in his clan, according to his fathers’ house.

Numbers 10

The Silver Trumpets

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Make two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall use them for ^zsummoning the congregation and for breaking camp. 3 And when ^aaboth are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 4 But if they blow only one, then ^abthe chiefs, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. 5 When you blow an alarm, ^acthe camps that are on the east side shall set out. 6 And when you blow an alarm the second time, ^adthe camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out. 7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ^aeyou shall blow a long blast, but you shall not ^afsound an alarm. 8 ^agAnd the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. 9 And ^ahwhen you go to war in your land against the adversary who ^aioppresses you, then you shall ^ajsound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be ^akremembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. 10 ^alOn the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and ^amat the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be ^ana reminder of you before your God: I am the Lord your God.”

Israel Leaves Sinai

11 In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, ^aothe cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony, 12 and the people of Israel ^apset out by stages from the ^aqwilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the ^arwilderness of Paran. 13 They set out for the first time ^asat the command of the Lord by Moses. 14 The standard of the camp of the people of Judah set out ^atfirst by their companies, and over their company was ^auNahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

17 And when ^avthe tabernacle was taken down, the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, ^awwho carried the tabernacle, set out. 18 And ^axthe standard of the camp of Reuben set out by their companies, and over their company was ^ayElizur the son of Shedeur. 19 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Simeon was ^azShelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Gad was ^baEliasaph the son of ^bbDeuel.

21 Then the Kohathites set out, ^bccarrying the holy things, and ^bdthe tabernacle was set up before their arrival. 22 And ^bethe standard of the camp of the people of Ephraim set out by their companies, and over their company was ^bfElishama the son of Ammihud. 23 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Manasseh was ^bgGamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Benjamin was ^bhAbidan the son of Gideoni.

25 Then ^bithe standard of the camp of the people of Dan, acting as the ^bjrear guard of all the camps, set out by their companies, and over their company was ^bkAhiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Asher was ^blPagiel the son of Ochran. 27 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Naphtali was ^bmAhira the son of Enan. 28 ^bnThis was the order of march of the people of Israel by their companies, when they set out.

29 And Moses said to Hobab the son of ^boReuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, ^bp‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do good to you, for ^bqthe Lord has promised good to Israel.” 30 But he said to him, “I will not go. I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.” 31 And he said, “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will serve ^bras eyes for us. 32 And if you do go with us, ^bswhatever good the Lord will do to us, the same will we do to you.”

33 So they set out from ^btthe mount of the Lord three days’ journey. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them three days’ journey, to seek out ^bua resting place for them. 34 ^bvAnd the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp.

35 And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, ^bw“Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.” 36 And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”
