* And the Lord spoke unto Moses , saying , * Make unto thyself two trumpets of silver , beaten out of one piece shalt thou make them ; and they shall serve thee for the calling of the congregation , and for the setting forward of the camps . * And when they shall blow with both , all the congregation shall assemble themselves unto thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation . * And if they blow with but one , then shall assemble themselves unto thee the princes , the heads of the thousands of Israel . * And when ye blow an alarm , then shall set forward the camps that encamp on the east side . * And when ye blow an alarm the second time , then shall set forward the camps that encamp on the south side : an alarm shall they blow for their setting forward . * But at the assembling of the assembly , ye shall blow , but ye shall not sound an alarm . * And the sons of Aaron , the priests , shall blow with the trumpets ; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations . * And if ye go to war in your land against the oppressor that oppresseth you , then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets ; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God , and ye shall be saved from your enemies . * And on the day of your gladness , and on your appointed festivals , and on the beginnings of your months , shall ye blow with the trumpets over your burnt –offerings , and over the sacrifices of your peace –offerings ; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God : I am the Lord your God . * And it came to pass in the second year , in the second month , on the twentieth day of the month , that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony . * And the children of Israel set forward on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai , and the cloud halted in the wilderness of Paran . * And they set forward for the first time at the order of the Lord by the hand of Moses . * And the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward at the first , according to their armies : and over their host was Nachshon the son of ‘Amminadab . * And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar . * And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Chelon . * And the tabernacle was taken down ; and then set forward the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari , the bearers of the tabernacle . * Then set forward the standard of the camp of Reuben , according to their armies : and over their host was Elizur the son of Shedeur . * And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai . * And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Elyassaph the son of Deuel . * And then set forward the Kehathites , the bearers of the sanctuary : and the others set up the tabernacle against they came . * Then set forward the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim according to their armies ; and over their host was Elishama the son of ‘Ammihud . * And over the host of the tribe of the children of Menasseh was Gamliel the son of Pedahzur . * And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gidoni . * Then set forward the standard of the camp of the children of Dan , the rereward of all the camps , according to their hosts : and over their host was Achiezer the son of ‘Ammishaddai . * And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of ‘Ochran . * And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Achira the son of ‘Enan . * In this order were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies , when they set forward . * And Moses said unto Chobab , the son of Reuel the Midianite , the father –in –law of Moses , We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord hath said , This will I give unto you : come thou with us , and we will do thee good ; for the Lord hath spoken good upon Israel . * And he said unto him , I will not go ; but to my own land , and to my birthplace will I go . * And he said , Do not , I pray thee , leave us ; since thou didst find out the places where we were to encamp in the wilderness , and thou hast been to us instead of eyes . * And it shall be , if thou go with us , yea , it shall be , that the same goodness which the Lord may do unto us , will we do unto thee . * And they set forward from the mount of the Lord a three days ’ journey ; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days ’ journey , to search out for them a resting –place . * And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day , when they set forward from the camp . * And it came to pass , when the ark set forward , that Moses said , Rise up , Lord , and let thy enemies be scattered ; and let those that hate thee flee before thy face . * And when it rested , he said , Return , O Lord , among thy myriads of the thousands of Israel .
