Numbers 10:28-30

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁸ This was the order of march of the Israelites, company by company, when they set out.

²⁹ Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, ‘I will give it to you’; come with us, and we will treat you well; for the Lord has promised good to Israel.” ³⁰ But he said to him, “I will not go, but I will go back to my own land and to my kindred.”
