1 The Lordsaid to Moses, 2 "Make two trumpets of hammered silver to use for calling the people together and for breaking camp. 3 When long blasts are sounded on both trumpets, the whole community is to gather around you at the entrance to the Tent of my presence. 4 But when only one trumpet is sounded, then only the leaders of the clans are to gather around you. 5 When short blasts are sounded, the tribes camped on the east will move out. 6 When short blasts are sounded a second time, the tribes on the south will move out. So short blasts are to be sounded to break camp, 7 but in order to call the community together, long blasts are to be sounded. 8 The trumpets are to be blown by Aaron’s sons, the priests.
"The following rule is to be observed for all time to come. 9 When you are at war in your land, defending yourselves against an enemy who has attacked you, sound the signal for battle on these trumpets. I, the Lordyour God, will help you and save you from your enemies. 10 Also on joyful occasions—at your New Moon Festivals and your other religious festivals—you are to blow the trumpets when you present your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings. Then I will help you. I am the Lordyour God."
The Israelites Break Camp
11 On the twentieth day of the second month in the second year after the people left Egypt, the cloud over the Tent of the Lord's presence lifted, 12 and the Israelites started on their journey out of the SinaiDesert. The cloud came to rest in the wilderness of Paran.
13 They began to march at the command of the Lordthrough Moses, 14 and each time they moved, they were in the same order. Those under the banner of the division led by the tribe of Judahstarted out first, company by company, with Nahshonson of Amminadabin command. 15 Nethanelson of Zuarwas in command of the tribe of Issachar, 16 and Eliabson of Helonwas in command of the tribe of Zebulun.
17 Then the Tent would be taken down, and the clans of Gershonand Merari, who carried it, would start out.
18 Next, those under the banner of the division led by the tribe of Reubenwould start out, company by company, with Elizurson of Shedeurin command. 19 Shelumielson of Zurishaddaiwas in command of the tribe of Simeon, 20 and Eliasaphson of Deuelwas in command of the tribe of Gad.
21 Then the Levite clan of Kohath would start out, carrying the sacred objects. By the time they arrived at the next camp, the Tent had been set up again.
22 Next, those under the banner of the division led by the tribe of Ephraimwould start out, company by company, with Elishamason of Ammihudin command. 23 Gamalielson of Pedahzurwas in command of the tribe of Manasseh, 24 and Abidanson of Gideoniwas in command of the tribe of Benjamin.
25 Finally, those under the banner of the division led by the tribe of Dan, serving as the rear guard of all the divisions, would start out, company by company, with Ahiezerson of Ammishaddaiin command. 26 Pagielson of Ochranwas in command of the tribe of Asher, 27 and Ahirason of Enanwas in command of the tribe of Naphtali. 28 This, then, was the order of march, company by company, whenever the Israelites broke camp and set out.
29 Mosessaid to his brother-in-law Hobabson of Jethrothe Midianite, "We are about to start out for the place which the Lordsaid he would give us. He has promised to make Israel prosperous, so come with us, and we will share our prosperity with you."
30 Hobab answered, "No, I am going back to my native land."
31 "Please don’t leave us," Moses said. "You know where we can camp in the wilderness, and you can be our guide. 32 If you come with us, we will share with you all the blessings that the Lordgives us."
The People Set Out
33 When the people left Sinai, the holy mountain, they traveled three days. The Lord's Covenant Box always went ahead of them to find a place for them to camp. 34 As they moved on from each camp, the cloud of the Lordwas over them by day.
35 Ps 68.1Whenever the Covenant Box started out, Moseswould say, "Arise, Lord; scatter your enemies and put to flight those who hate you!" 36 And whenever it stopped, he would say, "Return, Lord, to the thousands of families of Israel."10.36: Return … Israel; or Return, Lord, you who are like an army of millions for Israel.
