1 Falou mais o SENHOR a Moisés, dizendo:

2 Faze-te duas trombetas de prata; de obra batida as farás, e elas te servirão para a convocação da congregação, e para a partida dos arraiais.

3 E, quando as tocarem, então toda a congregação se reunirá a ti à porta da tenda da congregação.

4 Mas, quando tocar uma só, então a ti se congregarão os príncipes, os cabeças dos milhares de Israel.

5 Quando, retinindo, as tocardes, então partirão os arraiais que estão acampados do lado do oriente.

6 Mas, quando a segunda vez retinindo, as tocardes, então partirão os arraiais que estão acampados do lado do sul; retinindo, as tocarão para as suas partidas.

7 Porém, ajuntando a congregação, as tocareis; mas sem retinir.

8 E os filhos de Arão, sacerdotes, tocarão as trombetas; e a vós serão por estatuto perpétuo nas vossas gerações.

9 E, quando na vossa terra sairdes a pelejar contra o inimigo, que vos oprime, também tocareis as trombetas retinindo, e perante o Senhor vosso Deus haverá lembrança de vós, e sereis salvos de vossos inimigos.

10 Semelhantemente, no dia da vossa alegria e nas vossas solenidades, e nos princípios de vossos meses, também tocareis as trombetas sobre os vossos holocaustos, sobre os vossos sacrifícios pacíficos, e vos serão por memorial perante vosso Deus: Eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus.

11 E aconteceu, no ano segundo, no segundo mês, aos vinte do mês, que a nuvem se alçou de sobre o tabernáculo da congregação.

12 E os filhos de Israel, segundo a ordem de marcha, partiram do deserto de Sinai; e a nuvem parou no deserto de Parã.

13 Assim partiram pela primeira vez segundo a ordem do Senhor, por intermédio de Moisés.

14 Porque primeiramente partiu a bandeira do arraial dos filhos de Judá segundo os seus exércitos; e sobre o seu exército estava Naassom, filho de Aminadabe.

15 E sobre o exército da tribo dos filhos de Issacar, Natanael, filho de Zuar.

16 E sobre o exército da tribo dos filhos de Zebulom, Eliabe, filho de Helom.

17 Então desarmaram o tabernáculo, e os filhos de Gérson e os filhos de Merari partiram, levando o tabernáculo.

18 Depois partiu a bandeira do arraial de Rúben segundo os seus exércitos; e sobre o seu exército estava Elizur, filho de Sedeur.

19 E sobre o exército da tribo dos filhos de Simeão, Selumiel, filho de Zurisadai.

20 E sobre o exército da tribo dos filhos de Gade, Eliasafe, filho de Deuel.

21 Então partiram os coatitas, levando o santuário; e os outros levantaram o tabernáculo, enquanto estes vinham.

22 Depois partiu a bandeira do arraial dos filhos de Efraim segundo os seus exércitos; e sobre o seu exército estava Elisama, filho de Amiúde.

23 E sobre o exército da tribo dos filhos de Manassés, Gamaliel, filho de Pedazur.

24 E sobre o exército da tribo dos filhos de Benjamim, Abidã, filho de Gideoni.

25 Então partiu a bandeira do arraial dos filhos de Dã, fechando todos os arraiais segundo os seus exércitos; e sobre o seu exército estava Aieser, filho de Amisadai.

26 E sobre o exército da tribo dos filhos de Aser, Pagiel, filho de Ocrã.

27 E sobre o exército da tribo dos filhos de Naftali, Aira, filho de Enã.

28 Esta era a ordem das partidas dos filhos de Israel segundo os seus exércitos, quando partiam.

29 Disse então Moisés a Hobabe, filho de Reuel, o midianita, sogro de Moisés: Nós caminhamos para aquele lugar, de que o Senhor disse: Vo-lo darei; vai conosco e te faremos bem; porque o Senhor falou bem sobre Israel.

30 Porém ele lhe disse: Não irei; antes irei à minha terra e à minha parentela.

31 E ele disse: Ora, não nos deixes; porque tu sabes onde devemos acampar no deserto; nos servirás de guia.

32 E será que, vindo tu conosco, e sucedendo o bem que o Senhor nos fizer, também nós te faremos bem.

33 Assim partiram do monte do Senhor caminho de três dias; e a arca da aliança do Senhor caminhou diante deles caminho de três dias, para lhes buscar lugar de descanso.

34 E a nuvem do Senhor ia sobre eles de dia, quando partiam do arraial.

35 Acontecia que, partindo a arca, Moisés dizia: Levanta-te, Senhor, e dissipados sejam os teus inimigos, e fujam diante de ti os que te odeiam.

36 E, pousando ela, dizia: Volta, ó Senhor, para os muitos milhares de Israel.

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Make two silver horns of hammered work, to be used for getting the people together and to give the sign for the moving of the tents.

3 When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.

4 If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.

5 When a loud note is sounded, the tents placed on the east side are to go forward.

6 At the sound of a second loud note, the tents on the south side are to go forward: the loud note will be the sign to go forward.

7 But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.

8 The horns are to be sounded by the sons of Aaron, the priests; this is to be a law for you for ever, from generation to generation.

9 And if you go to war in your land against any who do you wrong, then let the loud note of the horn be sounded; and the Lord your God will keep you in mind and give you salvation from those who are against you.

10 And on days of joy and on your regular feasts and on the first day of every month, let the horns be sounded over your burned offerings and your peace-offerings; and they will put the Lord in mind of you: I am the Lord your God.

11 Now in the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the cloud was taken up from over the Tent of witness.

12 And the children of Israel went on their journey out of the waste land of Sinai; and the cloud came to rest in the waste land of Paran.

13 They went forward for the first time on their journey as the Lord had given orders by the hand of Moses.

14 First the flag of the children of Judah went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.

15 And at the head of the army of the children of Issachar was Nethanel, the son of Zuar.

16 And at the head of the army of the children of Zebulun was Eliab, the son of Helon.

17 Then the House was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were responsible for moving the House, went forward.

18 Then the flag of the children of Reuben went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elizur, the son of Shedeur.

19 And at the head of the army of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.

20 At the head of the army of the children of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of Reuel.

21 Then the Kohathites went forward with the holy place; the others put up the House ready for their coming.

22 Then the flag of the children of Ephraim went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Elishama, the son of Ammihud.

23 At the head of the army of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.

24 At the head of the army of the children of Benjamin was Abidan, the son of Gideoni.

25 And the flag of the children of Dan, whose tents were moved last of all, went forward with their armies: and at the head of his army was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.

26 At the head of the army of the children of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ochran.

27 And at the head of the army of the children of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan.

28 This was the order in which the children of Israel were journeying by armies; so they went forward.

29 Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.

30 But he said, I will not go with you, I will go back to the land of my birth and to my relations.

31 And he said, Do not go from us; for you will be eyes for us, guiding us to the right places in the waste land to put up our tents.

32 And if you come with us, we will give you a part in whatever good the Lord does for us.

33 So they went forward three days' journey from the mountain of the Lord; and the ark of the Lord's agreement went three days' journey before them, looking for a resting-place for them;

34 And by day the cloud of the Lord went over them, when they went forward from the place where they had put up their tents.

35 And when the ark went forward Moses said, Come up, O Lord, and let the armies of those who are against you be broken, and let your haters go in flight before you.

36 And when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.
