Numbers 10

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 Make thee two trumpets of siluer: of an whole piece shalt thou make the, that thou mayest vse them for the assembling of the Congregation, and for the departure of the campe.

Make two silver horns of hammered work, to be used for getting the people together and to give the sign for the moving of the tents.

3 And when they shall blowe with them, all the Congregation shall assemble to thee before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Cogregation.

When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.

4 But if they blowe with one, then the princes, or heades ouer the thousandes of Israel shall come vnto thee.

If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.

5 But if ye blow an alarme, then the campe of the that pitch on the East part, shall go forward.

When a loud note is sounded, the tents placed on the east side are to go forward.

6 If ye blowe an alarme the second time, then the hoste of them that lie on the Southside shall march: for they shall blowe an alarme when they remoue.

At the sound of a second loud note, the tents on the south side are to go forward: the loud note will be the sign to go forward.

7 But in assembling the Congregation, ye shall blowe without an alarme.

But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.

8 And the sonnes of Aaron the Priest shall blowe the trumpets, and ye shall haue them as a lawe for euer in your generations.

The horns are to be sounded by the sons of Aaron, the priests; this is to be a law for you for ever, from generation to generation.

9 And when ye goe to warre in your lande against the enemie that vexeth you, ye shall blowe an alarme with the trumpets, and ye shall bee remembred before the Lord your God, and shalbe saued from your enemies.

And if you go to war in your land against any who do you wrong, then let the loud note of the horn be sounded; and the Lord your God will keep you in mind and give you salvation from those who are against you.

10 Also in the day of your gladnesse, and in your feast dayes, and in the beginning of your moneths, ye shall also blow the trumpets ouer your burnt sacrifices, and ouer your peace offrings, that they may be a remembrance for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.

And on days of joy and on your regular feasts and on the first day of every month, let the horns be sounded over your burned offerings and your peace-offerings; and they will put the Lord in mind of you: I am the Lord your God.

11 And in the seconde yeere, in the seconde moneth, and in the twentieth day of the moneth the cloude was taken vp from the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.

Now in the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the cloud was taken up from over the Tent of witness.

12 And ye children of Israel departed on their iourneys out of the desart of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wildernesse of Paran.

And the children of Israel went on their journey out of the waste land of Sinai; and the cloud came to rest in the waste land of Paran.

13 So they first tooke their iourney at the comandement of the Lord, by ye hand of Moses.

They went forward for the first time on their journey as the Lord had given orders by the hand of Moses.

21 The Kohathites also went forward and bare the Sanctuarie, and the former did set vp the Tabernacle against they came.

Then the Kohathites went forward with the holy place; the others put up the House ready for their coming.

22 Then the standerd of the hoste of the children of Ephraim went forward according to their armies, and ouer his bande was Elishama the sonne of Ammiud.

27 And ouer the bande of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira ye sonne of Enan.

And at the head of the army of the children of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan.

28 These were the remouings of the children of Israel according to their armies, whe they marched.

This was the order in which the children of Israel were journeying by armies; so they went forward.

29 After, Moses said vnto Hobab ye sonne of Reuel the Midianite, ye father in law of Moses, We go into the place, of which ye Lord said, I will giue it you: Come thou with vs, and we wil doe thee good: for ye Lord hath promised good vnto Israel.

Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.

30 And he answered him, I will not goe: but I will depart to mine owne countrey, and to my kindred.

But he said, I will not go with you, I will go back to the land of my birth and to my relations.

31 Then he sayd, I pray thee, leaue vs not: for thou knowest our camping places in the wildernesse: therefore thou mayest be our guide.

And he said, Do not go from us; for you will be eyes for us, guiding us to the right places in the waste land to put up our tents.

32 And if thou go with vs, what goodnes the Lord shall shew vnto vs, the same will we shewe vnto thee.

And if you come with us, we will give you a part in whatever good the Lord does for us.

33 So they departed from the mount of the Lord, three dayes iourney: and the Arke of the couenant of the Lord went before them in the three dayes iourney, to searche out a resting place for them.

So they went forward three days' journey from the mountain of the Lord; and the ark of the Lord's agreement went three days' journey before them, looking for a resting-place for them;

34 And the cloude of the Lord was vpon the by day, when they went out of the campe.

And by day the cloud of the Lord went over them, when they went forward from the place where they had put up their tents.

35 And when the Arke went forwarde, Moses saide, Rise vp, Lord, and let thine enemies bee scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee before thee.

And when the ark went forward Moses said, Come up, O Lord, and let the armies of those who are against you be broken, and let your haters go in flight before you.

36 And when it rested, hee sayde, Returne, O Lord, to the many thousands of Israel.

And when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.
