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.
1 耶和华对摩西说：
2 "你要用银子作两枝号， 要锤出来的， 可以用来召集会众， 也可以叫会众拔营起行。
3 吹号的时候， 全体会众都要到你那里， 聚集在会幕的门口。
4 如果单吹一枝， 众领袖， 就是以色列的族长， 都要到你那里聚集。
5 你们吹大声的时候， 那在东边的营， 都要起行。
6 你们第二次吹大声的时候， 那在南边的营， 都要起行； 他们要起行， 必须吹大声。
7 但召集会众的时候， 你们要吹号， 却不要吹大声。
8 亚伦的子孙作祭司的要作吹号的； 这要作你们世世代代永远的条例。
9 你们在本地与欺压你们的仇敌作战的时候， 就要吹大声， 使你们在耶和华你们的 神面前得蒙记念， 也得拯救脱离你们的仇敌。
10 此外， 在你们快乐的日子和指定的节期， 以及月朔， 你们献燔祭和平安祭的时候， 也要吹号， 这都要在你们的 神面前替你们作为记念； 我是耶和华你们的 神。"
11 第二年二月二十日， 云彩从法柜的帐幕收上去的时候，
12 以色列人就从西奈旷野按站起行； 云彩在巴兰旷野停住了。
13 这是他们第一次照着耶和华借摩西吩咐他们的起程。
14 犹大营的旗号， 按着他们的队伍， 首先起行； 统领队伍的， 是亚米拿达的儿子拿顺。
15 统领以萨迦支派队伍的， 是苏押的儿子拿坦业。
16 统领西布伦支派队伍的， 是希伦的儿子以利押。
17 帐幕拆下来以后， 革顺的子孙和米拉利的子孙， 就抬着帐幕起行。
18 流本营的旗号， 按着他们的队伍起行； 统领队伍的， 是示丢珥的儿子以利蓿。
19 统领西缅支派的， 是苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑。
20 统领迦得支派队伍的， 是丢珥的儿子以利雅萨。
21 哥辖人抬着圣物起行； 他们到达之前， 人已经把帐幕竖立起来。
22 以法莲营的旗号， 按着他们的队伍起行； 统领队伍的， 是亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛。
23 统领玛拿西支派队伍的， 是比大蓿的儿子迦玛列。
24 统领便雅悯支派队伍的， 是基多尼的儿子亚比但。
25 但营的旗号， 作众营的后队， 按着他们的队伍起行； 统领队伍的， 是亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢。
26 统领亚设支派队伍的， 是俄兰的儿子帕结。
27 统领拿弗他利支派队伍的， 是以南的儿子亚希拉。
28 这是以色列人起行的时候， 按着他们的队伍起行的次序。
29 摩西对自己的岳父米甸人流珥的儿子何巴说： "我们要起行到耶和华应许的地方去， 他曾说： ‘我要把那地赐给你们’， 现在求你与我们同去， 我们必善待你， 因为耶和华对以色列已经应许福乐。"
30 何巴对摩西说： "我不去， 我要归回我本地本族那里去。"
31 摩西说： "求你不要离开我们， 因为你知道我们应怎样在旷野安营， 你可以作我们的眼目。
32 如果你与我们同去， 将来耶和华用什么好处待我们， 我们也必用什么好处待你。"
33 以色列人从耶和华的山起行， 行了三天的路程， 耶和华的约柜在他们前面行了三天的路程， 为他们寻找安息的地方。
34 他们拔营起行的时候， 日间总有耶和华的云彩在他们上头。
35 约柜起行的时候， 摩西就说： "耶和华啊， 求你起来， 愿你的仇敌四散； 愿恨你的人从你面前逃跑。"
36 约柜停住的时候， 他就说： "耶和华啊， 求你归来， 回到以色列的千万人中。"
