Two silver trumpets

¹The LORD spoke to Moses. He said, ²“Make two trumpets of hammered silver. You are to use them to call the congregation together and to set the camps moving. ³When they blow both trumpets, all the congregation must come together before you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. ⁴When a single trumpet is blown, the leaders, who head Israel’s clans, are to come to you. ⁵When you sound the alarm signal, the camps on the east side are to set out. ⁶When you sound the alarm signal a second time, the camps on the south side are to set out. The alarm signal is to be sounded whenever they set out. ⁷When you call the assembly together, give a blast on the trumpets, but do not sound the alarm signal. ⁸It is Aaron’s sons, the priests, who are to blow the trumpets. Their use is a lasting statute for you, generation after generation. ⁹In your own land, when you go out to war against an enemy who attacks you, sound the alarm on the trumpets, and the LORD your God will remember you, and you will be saved from your enemies. ¹⁰Also on your days of rejoicing, at your appointed feasts, and on the first day of each month, blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over your peace offering sacrifices. They will be a reminder of you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

Israel sets out from Sinai

¹¹In the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony. ¹²The Israelites set out from the wilderness of Sinai, traveling in stages, and the cloud came to rest in the wilderness of Paran. ¹³This was the first time they set out at the LORD’s command, given through Moses. ¹⁴The standard of the camp of Judah set out first, division by division, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command of its forces. ¹⁵Nethanel son of Zuar was over the forces of the tribe of Issachar. ¹⁶Eliab son of Helon was over the forces of the tribe of Zebulun. ¹⁷Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out carrying it.

¹⁸Next the standard of the camp of Reuben set out, division by division, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command of its forces. ¹⁹Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the forces of the tribe of Simeon. ²⁰Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the forces of the tribe of Gad. ²¹Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things, and the tabernacle would be standing ready by the time they arrived.

²²Next the standard of the camp of Ephraim set out, division by division, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command of its forces. ²³Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the forces of the tribe of Manasseh. ²⁴Abidan son of Gideoni was over the forces of the tribe of Benjamin.

²⁵Last, the standard of the camp of Dan set out as the rear guard for all the camps, division by division, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command of its forces. ²⁶Pagiel son of Ochran was over the forces of the tribe of Asher. ²⁷Ahira son of Enan was over the forces of the tribe of Naphtali. ²⁸Such was the order in which the Israelites marched by their divisions. Then they set out.

Moses asks Hobab to come with them

²⁹Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place the LORD said he would give us. Come with us and we will be good to you, because the LORD has promised Israel good things.” ³⁰But he answered him, “I will not go. I will return to my own country and my relatives.” ³¹Moses said, “Please do not leave us. You know the places where we can camp in the wilderness, and you will be eyes for us. ³²If you go with us, then whatever good the LORD does for us, we will do the same for you.” ³³They left the mountain of the LORD and marched three days, and all three days the ark of the covenant of the LORD went ahead of them, searching out a resting place for them. ³⁴By day the cloud of the LORD was above them whenever they moved out from the camp. ³⁵Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, \q “Rise up, LORD! \q Let your enemies scatter, \q and let those who hate you run from you.” ³⁶And whenever it came to rest, he would say, \q “Return, LORD, \q to Israel’s thousands upon thousands.”
