1 Disse Jeová a Moisés:
2 Faze-te duas trombetas de prata, de obra batida as farás; servir-te-ão para convocares a congregação e fazeres que se ponham em marcha os arraiais.
3 Quando se tocarem as trombetas, a congregação toda se ajuntará a ti, à entrada da tenda da revelação.
4 Se se tocar só uma, os príncipes, cabeças dos milhares de Israel, se ajuntarão a ti.
5 Quando tocardes alarme, partirão os arraiais que se acham acampados da banda do oriente.
6 Quando tocardes alarme pela segunda vez, partirão os arraiais que se acham da banda do sul; tocarão alarme quando se houverem de partir.
7 Porém, quando se houver de reunir a assembléia, tocareis, mas sem alarme.
8 Os filhos de Arão, sacerdotes, tocarão as trombetas; isto vos será por estatuto perpétuo nas vossas gerações.
9 Quando na vossa terra fordes à guerra contra os vossos adversários que vos oprimem, com as trombetas dareis o alarme; sereis tidos em memória diante de Jeová vosso Deus, e sereis salvos dos vossos inimigos.
10 Também nos dias de vossa alegria, nas vossas festas fixas e nos princípios dos vossos meses tocareis as trombetas sobre os vossos holocaustos e sobre os sacrifícios de vossas ofertas pacíficas; e vos serão por memorial diante de vosso Deus: eu sou Jeová vosso Deus.
11 Aconteceu no segundo ano, no segundo mês, aos vinte dias do mês, que a nuvem se levantou de cima do tabernáculo do testemunho.
12 Os filhos de Israel puseram-se em marcha do deserto de Sinai segundo as suas jornadas; e a nuvem parou no deserto de Parã.
13 No princípio puseram-se em marcha à ordem de Jeová por intermédio de Moisés.
14 Partiu no primeiro lugar o estandarte do arraial dos filhos de Judá segundo as suas turmas, sobre as quais estava Naassom, filho de Aminadabe.
15 Sobre a turma da tribo dos filhos de Issacar estava Natanael, filho de Zuar.
16 E sobre a turma da tribo dos filhos de Zebulom estava Eliabe, filho de Helom.
17 Foi desarmado o tabernáculo, e os filhos de Gérson e os filhos de Merari, os quais levavam o tabernáculo, puseram-se em marcha.
18 O estandarte do arraial de Rúben pôs-se em marcha segundo as suas turmas, sobre as quais estava Elizur, filho de Sedeur.
19 Sobre a turma da tribo dos filhos de Simeão estava Selumiel, filho de Zurisadai.
20 Sobre a turma da tribo dos filhos de Gade estava Eliasafe, filho de Deuel.
21 Puseram-se em marcha os coatitas que levavam as coisas sagradas; e erigia- se o tabernáculo, à espera que eles chegassem.
22 O estandarte do arraial dos filhos de Efraim pôs-se em marcha segundo as suas turmas, sobre as quais estava Elisama, filho de Amiúde.
23 Sobre a turma da tribo dos filhos de Manassés estava Gamaliel, filho de Pedazur.
24 Sobre a turma da tribo dos filhos de Benjamim estava Abidã, filho de Gideoni.
25 O estandarte do arraial dos filhos de Dã, que era a retaguarda de todos os arraiais, pôs-se em marcha segundo as suas turmas, sobre as quais estava Aiezer, filho de Amisadai.
26 Sobre a turma da tribo dos filhos de Aser estava Pagiel, filho de Ocrã.
27 Sobre a turma da tribo dos filhos de Naftali, estava Aira, filho de Enã.
28 Assim fizeram a sua partida os filhos de Israel segundo as suas turmas, e puseram-se em marcha.
29 Disse Moisés a Hobabe, filho de Reuel, o midianita, sogro de Moisés: Estamos em viagem para o lugar de que Jeová disse: Dar-vo-lo-ei. Vem tu conosco, e te faremos bem; pois é Jeová o que prometeu prosperidade a Israel.
30 Respondeu ele: Não irei; mas irei para a minha terra, para a minha parentela.
31 Tornou-lhe Moisés: Não nos deixes, porquanto sabes os lugares em que devamos acampar no deserto; e nos servirás de guia.
32 Se vieres conosco, nós te faremos gozar de todo e qualquer bem que Jeová nos fizer.
33 Partiram, pois, do monte de Jeová caminho de três dias; a arca da aliança de Jeová ia adiante deles caminho de três dias, para lhes deparar um lugar de descanso.
34 A nuvem de Jeová estava sobre eles de dia, quando partiam do arraial.
35 Quando a arca se punha em marcha, dizia Moisés: Levanta-te, Jeová, e dissipados sejam os teus inimigos; fujam diante de ti os que te aborrecem.
36 Quando pousava, dizia: Volta, Jeová, para os miríades dos 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.
