1 And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying  2 Make you two trumpets of silver ; of a whole piece will you make them: that you may use them for the calling of the assembly , and for the journeying of the camps  3 And when they will blow with them , all the assembly will assemble themselves to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation  4 And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet], then the princes , [which are] heads of the thousands of Israel , will gather  5 When you blow an alarm , then the camps that lie on the east parts will go forward  6 When you blow an alarm the second time , then the camps that lie on the south side will take their journey : they will blow an alarm for their journeys  7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together , you will blow , but you will not sound an alarm  8 And the sons of Aaron , the priests , will blow with the trumpets ; and they will be to you for an ordinance forever throughout your generations  9 And if you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then you will blow an alarm with the trumpets ; and you will be remembered before the LORD your God , and you will be saved from your enemies  10 Also in the day of your gladness , and in your solemn days , and in the beginnings of your months , you will blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings , and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings ; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God : I [am] the LORD your God  11 And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the second month , in the second year , that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony  12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran  13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses  14 In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies : and over his host [was] Nahshon the son of Amminadab  15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar [was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar  16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun [was] Eliab the son of Helon  17 And the tabernacle was taken down ; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward , bearing the tabernacle  18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies : and over his host [was] Elizur the son of Shedeur  19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon [was] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai  20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad [was] Eliasaph the son of Deuel  21 And the Kohasites set forward , bearing the sanctuary : and [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came  22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies : and over his host [was] Elishama the son of Ammihud  23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh [was] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur  24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin [was] Abidan the son of Gideoni  25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward , [which was] the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts : and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai  26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher [was] Pagiel the son of Ocran  27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali [was] Ahira the son of Enan  28 So [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies , when they set forward  29 And Moses said to Hobab , the son of Raguel the Midianite , Moses ' father in law , We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said , I will give it you: come you with us, and we will do you good : for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel  30 And he said to him, I will not go ; but I will depart to mine own land , and to my relatives  31 And he said , Don't leave us, I ask you; since as you know  how we are to encamp in the wilderness , and you may be to us instead of eyes  32 And it will be, if you go with us, yes, it will be, that what goodness the LORD will do to us, the same will we do  33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days ' journey : and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days ' journey , to search out a resting place  34 And the cloud of the LORD [was] on them by day , when they went out of the camp  35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward , that Moses said , Rise up , LORD , and let your enemies be scattered ; and let them that hate you flee before  36 And when it rested , he said , Return , O LORD , to the many thousands of Israel
