Numbers 10:28-32

²⁸This was the order in which the Israelite tribal divisions moved out.

²⁹Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

³⁰“No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied.

³¹“Please don't abandon us now,” Moses said, “because you're the one who knows where we should camp in the desert and you can guide us.

³²If you come with us, whatever good things the Lord blesses us with we'll share with you.”
