1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Cross refs
2 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. Cross refs
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. Cross refs
4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. Cross refs
5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. Cross refs
6 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. Cross refs
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. Cross refs
8 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. Cross refs
9 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. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. Cross refs
13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. Cross refs
16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. Cross refs
17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. Cross refs
20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. Cross refs
21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. Cross refs
24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. Cross refs
27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. Cross refs
28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel. Cross refs
