The Silver Trumpets |
|
|
 |
| Numbers 10:1 |
|
The LORD spoke further to Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:2 |
|
"Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered
work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation
and for having the camps set out. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 10:3 |
|
When both are blown, all the congregation shall
gather themselves to you at the doorway of the tent of meeting. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 10:4 |
|
Yet if only one is blown, then the leaders,
the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall assemble before you. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 10:5 |
|
But when you blow an alarm, the camps that are
pitched on the east side shall set out. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 10:6 |
|
When you blow an alarm the second time, the
camps that are pitched on the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be blown
for them to set out. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 10:7 |
|
When convening the assembly, however, you shall
blow without sounding an alarm. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:8 |
|
The priestly sons of Aaron, moreover, shall
blow the trumpets; and this shall be for you a perpetual statute throughout your
generations. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:9 |
|
When you go to war in your land against the
adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that
you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and be saved from your enemies. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:10 |
|
Also in the day of your gladness and in your
appointed feasts, and on the first days of your months, you shall blow the trumpets
over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and
they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the LORD your God." |

The Tribes Leave Sinai |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:11 |
|
Now in the second year, in the second month,
on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was lifted from over the tabernacle of
the testimony; |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:12 |
|
and the sons of Israel set out on their journeys
from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled down in the wilderness of
Paran. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:13 |
|
So they moved out for the first time according
to the commandment of the LORD through Moses. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:14 |
|
The standard of the camp of the sons of Judah,
according to their armies, set out first, with Nahshon the son of Amminadab, over
its army, |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:15 |
|
and Nethanel the son of Zuar, over the tribal
army of the sons of Issachar; |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:16 |
|
and Eliab the son of Helon over the tribal army
of the sons of Zebulun. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:17 |
|
Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the
sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set
out. |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:18 |
|
Next the standard of the camp of Reuben, according
to their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army, |
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:19 |
|
and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the
tribal army of the sons of Simeon, |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 10:20 |
|
and Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the
tribal army of the sons of Gad. |
| |
|
|
| Numbers 10:21 |
|
Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy
objects; and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:22 |
|
Next the standard of the camp of the sons of
Ephraim, according to their armies, was set out, with Elishama the son of Ammihud
over its army, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:23 |
|
and Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur over the tribal
army of the sons of Manasseh; |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:24 |
|
and Abidan the son of Gideoni over the tribal
army of the sons of Benjamin. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:25 |
|
Then the standard of the camp of the sons of
Dan, according to their armies, which formed the rear guard for all the camps,
set out, with Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai over its army, |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:26 |
|
and Pagiel the son of Ochran over the tribal
army of the sons of Asher; |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:27 |
|
and Ahira the son of Enan over the tribal army
of the sons of Naphtali. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:28 |
|
This was the order of march of the sons of Israel
by their armies as they set out. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:29 |
|
Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the
Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out to 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 promised good concerning Israel." |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:30 |
|
But he said to him, "I will not come, but rather
will go to my own land and relatives." |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:31 |
|
Then he said, "Please do not leave us, inasmuch
as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for
us. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:32 |
|
So it will be, if you go with us, that whatever
good the LORD does for us, we will do for you." |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:33 |
|
Thus they set out from the mount of the LORD
three days' journey, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD journeying in front
of them for the three days, to seek out a resting place for them. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:34 |
|
The cloud of the LORD was over them by day when
they set out from the camp. |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:35 |
|
Then it came about when the ark set out that
Moses said, "Rise up, O LORD! And let Your enemies be scattered, And let those
who hate You flee before You." |
|
|
|
|
| Numbers 10:36 |
|
When it came to rest, he said, "Return, O LORD,
To the myriad thousands of Israel." |
