NUMBERS 10



Nm 10:1Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Nm 10:2Make yourself two trumpets of silver; of beaten work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the assembly and for the setting out of the camps.

Nm 10:3And when they blow them, all the assembly shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

Nm 10:4But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.

Nm 10:5And when you blow an alarm, the camps that are encamped on the east side shall set out.

Nm 10:6And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are encamped on the south side shall set out. They shall blow an alarm for them to set out.

Nm 10:7But when the congregation is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.

Nm 10:8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and this shall be for you a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

Nm 10:9And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you may be remembered before Jehovah your God and be saved from your enemies.

Nm 10:10Also on your days of rejoicing and at your appointed feasts and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a reminder on your behalf before your God; I am Jehovah your God.

Nm 10:29And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are setting out to the place concerning which Jehovah said, I will give it to you. Come with us, and we will treat you well, for Jehovah has promised good to Israel.

Nm 10:30But he said to him, I will not go; but rather I will go to my own land and to my relatives.

Nm 10:31So Moses said, Please do not leave us, for you know where we can encamp in the wilderness, and you will be eyes for us.

Nm 10:32And if you go with us, whatever good Jehovah does for us, we will do for you.

Nm 10:34And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

Nm 10:35And when the Ark set out, Moses said,
Rise up, O Jehovah, and let Your enemies be scattered; / And let those who hate You flee before You.

Nm 10:36And when it came to rest, he said, Return, O Jehovah, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.
