Numbers 10:11-36 — Israel Leaves Sinai

Num.10.11-36

¹¹Then, in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud lifted from above the Tabernacle of the Testimony. ¹²And the Israelites set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud settled in the wilderness of Paran. ¹³They set out for the first time at the command of the LORD through Moses. ¹⁴First the standard of the camp of Judah set out by their divisions, with Nahshon son of Amminadab over its division. ¹⁵And over the division of the tribe of Issachar was Nethanel son of Zuar. ¹⁶And over the division of the tribe of Zebulun was Eliab son of Helon. ¹⁷Then the Tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, carrying the Tabernacle. ¹⁸Then the standard of the camp of Reuben set out by their divisions, with Elizur son of Shedeur over its division. ¹⁹And over the division of the tribe of Simeon was Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. ²⁰And over the division of the tribe of Gad was Eliasaph son of Deuel. ²¹Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy objects; and the Tabernacle was set up before they arrived. ²²Next the standard of the camp of Ephraim set out by their divisions, with Elishama son of Ammihud over its division. ²³And over the division of the tribe of Manasseh was Gamaliel son of Pedahzur. ²⁴And over the division of the tribe of Benjamin was Abidan son of Gideoni. ²⁵Finally the standard of the camp of Dan set out, forming the rear guard for all the camps, by their divisions, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai over its division. ²⁶And over the division of the tribe of Asher was Pagiel son of Ocran. ²⁷And over the division of the tribe of Naphtali was Ahira son of Enan. ²⁸This was the order of march of the Israelites by their divisions as they set out. ²⁹Then Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law , “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do you good, for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel.” ³⁰But he said to him, “I will not go. Instead, I will go to my own land and to my own relatives.” ³¹Then he said, “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us.” ³²And if you go with us, then whatever good the LORD does for us, we will do for you.” ³³So they set out from the mountain of the LORD on a journey of three days, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveled before them for those three days to seek out a resting place for them. ³⁴And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp. ³⁵And whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD, and let your enemies be scattered; let those who hate you flee before you.” ³⁶And when the ark came to rest, he would say, “Return, O LORD, to the myriads of the thousands of Israel .”
