Numbers 10:17-35

¹⁷And the tabernacle was taken down, and the sons of Gershon went forward, and the sons of Merari, carrying the tabernacle.

¹⁸And the standard (or order) of the camp of Reuben went forward by their hosts, and over its host was Elizur bar Shedeur:

¹⁹And over the host of the tribe of the Beni Shemeun was Shelumiel bar Zurishaddai.

²⁰And over the host of the Beni Gad was Eljasaph bar Dehuel.

²¹And the sons of Kehath went forward, carrying the sanctuary, and (the Gershonites and sons of Merari) set up the tabernacle against they came.

²²And the standard of the camps of the Beni-Ephraim went forward by their hosts, and over his host was Elishama bar Amihud.

²³And over the host of the tribe of the Beni Menasheh was Gamliel bar Phedazur.

²⁴And over the host of the tribe of the Beni Benyamin, Abidan bar Gideoni.

²⁵And the standard of the camps of the Beni Dan went forward collecting each camp according to their hosts; and over his host was Achiezer bar Amishaddai.

²⁶And over the host of the tribe of the Beni Asher, Phagiel bar Akran;

²⁷And over the host of the tribe of the Beni Naphtali, Achira bar Enan.

²⁸These are the journeys of the sons of Israel, and according to their hosts they went forward.

²⁹And Mosheh said unto Hobab bar Reuel, the Midianite, the father-in-law of Mosheh, We are journeying to the place of which the Lord hath said, I will give it unto you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the Lord hath spoken, to bring good upon Israel.

³⁰But he said to him, I will not go (with you), but to my country and to my kindred will I go.

³¹And he said, Leave us not, I beseech thee; for thou knowest how we should encamp in the wilderness; and the great things that will be done for us thou wilt see with thine eyes.

³²And it shall be that if thou wilt go with us, with the good by which the Lord shall do us good, will we do good to thee.

³³And from the mountain on which the glory of the Lord had been revealed they went forward, journeying three days; and the ark of the Lord’s covenant went before them, three days’ journey, to provide for them a place of encampment.

³⁴And the Cloud of Glory of the Lord overspread them by day as they went forth from their encampments.

³⁵And when the ark went forward, Mosheh said: Reveal thyself, O Lord, that Thine enemies may be scattered, and Thy adversaries may flee before thee.
