Numbers 10:12-36

¹²And the children of Israel marched by their troops from the desert of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Pharan.

¹³And the first went forward according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

¹⁴The sons of Juda by their troops: whose prince was Nahasson the son of Aminadab.

¹⁵In the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince was Nathanael the son of Suar.

¹⁶In the tribe of Zabulon, the prince was Eliab the son of Helon.

¹⁷And the tabernacle was taken down, and the sons of Gerson and Merari set forward, bearing it.

¹⁸And the sons of Ruben also marched, by their troops and ranks, whose prince was Helisur the son of Sedeur.

¹⁹And in the tribe of Simeon, the prince was Salamiel the son of Surisaddai.

²⁰And in the tribe of Cad, the prince was Eliasaph the son of Duel.

²¹Then the Caathites also marched carrying the sanctuary. So long was the tabernacle carried, till they same to the place of setting it up.

²²The sons of Ephraim also moved their camp by their troops, in whose army the prince was Elisama the son of Ammiud.

²³And in the tribe of the sons of Manasses, the prince was Gamaliel the son of Phadassur.

²⁴And in the tribe of Benjamin, the prince was Abidan the son of Gedeon.

²⁵The last of all the camp marched the sons of Dan by their troops, in whose army the prince was Ahiezer the son of Ammisaddai.

²⁶And in the tribe of the sons of Aser, the prince was Phegiel the son of Ochran.

²⁷And in the tribe of the sons of Nephtali, the prince was Ahira the son of Enan.

²⁸This was the order of the camps, and marches of the children of Israel by their troops, when they set forward.

²⁹And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Madianite, his kinsman: We are going towards the place which the Lord will give us: come with us, that we may do thee good: for the Lord hath promised good things to Israel.

³⁰But he answered him: I will not go with thee, but I will return to my country, wherein I was born.

³¹And he said: Do not leave us: for thou knowest in what places we should encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be our guide.

³²And if thou comest with us, we will give thee what is the best of the riches which the Lord shall deliver to us.

³³So they marched from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them, for three days providing a place for the camp.

³⁴The cloud also of the Lord was over them by day when they marched.

³⁵And when the ark was lifted up, Moses said: Arise, O Lord, and let thy enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee from before thy face.

³⁶And when it was set down, he said: Return, O Lord, to the multitude of the host of Israel.
