The Silver Trumpets
10 Yahweh spoke further to Moses, saying, 2 “Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for (A)summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out. 3 (B)So both will be blown, and all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 4 Yet if only one is blown, then the (C)leaders, the heads of the [a]divisions of Israel, shall assemble before you. 5 But when you blow an alarm, the camps that are pitched (D)on the east side shall set out. 6 Then you will blow an alarm the second time, and the camps that are pitched on (E)the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be blown for them to set out. 7 When convening the assembly, however, you shall blow without (F)sounding an alarm. 8 (G)The priestly sons of Aaron, moreover, shall blow the trumpets; and [b]this shall be for you a perpetual statute throughout your generations. 9 Now when you go to war in your land against the adversary who (H)attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be (I)remembered before Yahweh your God and be saved from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness and in your appointed [c]feasts, and on the first days of your months, (J)you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a remembrance of you before your God. I am Yahweh your God.”
Israel Sets Out from Sinai
11 Now it happened in (K)the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud was lifted from over the [d]tabernacle of the testimony; 12 and the sons of Israel set out on (L)their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled down in the (M)wilderness of Paran. 13 (N)So they moved out for the first time according to the [e]command of Yahweh by the hand of Moses. 14 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah, according to their armies, (O)set out first, with Nahshon the son of Amminadab, over its army, 15 and Nethanel the son of Zuar, over the tribal army of the sons of Issachar; 16 and Eliab the son of Helon over the tribal army of the sons of Zebulun.
17 (P)Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set out. 18 Next (Q)the standard of the camp of Reuben, according to their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army, 19 and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the tribal army of the sons of Simeon, 20 and Eliasaph the son of Deuel over the tribal army of the sons of Gad.
21 (R)Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy objects; and (S)the tabernacle was set up before their arrival. 22 (T)Next the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim, according to their armies, set out, with Elishama the son of Ammihud over its army, 23 and Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur over the tribal army of the sons of Manasseh; 24 and Abidan the son of Gideoni over the tribal army of the sons of Benjamin.
25 (U)Then the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, according to their armies, which formed the (V)rear guard for all the camps, set out, with Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai over its army, 26 and Pagiel the son of Ochran over the tribal army of the sons of Asher; 27 and Ahira the son of Enan over the tribal army of the sons of Naphtali. 28 [f]This was the order of march of the sons of Israel by their armies as they set out.
29 Then Moses said to (W)Hobab the son of (X)Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out to the place of which Yahweh said, ‘(Y)I will give it to you’; (Z)come with us and we will do you good, for Yahweh (AA)has [g]promised good concerning Israel.” 30 But he said to him, “(AB)I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and kin.” 31 Then he said, “Please do not leave us, inasmuch as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you (AC)will be as eyes for us. 32 So it will be, if you go with us, that [h](AD)whatever good Yahweh [i]does for us, (AE)we will [j]do for you.”
33 (AF)Thus they set out from the mount of Yahweh three days’ journey, with (AG)the ark of the covenant of Yahweh journeying in front of them for the [k]three days, to spy out (AH)a resting place for them. 34 (AI)Now the cloud of Yahweh was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
35 Then it happened when the ark set out that Moses said,
“(AJ)Rise up, O Yahweh!
And let Your enemies be scattered,
And let those (AK)who hate You flee [l]before You.”
36 And when it came to rest, he said,

Jubilee Bible 2000
10 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them that thou may use them for the convocation of the congregation and for the moving of the camp.
3 And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall join themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
4 But when they blow only one, then the princes, who are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 When ye blow an alarm, then ye shall move the camp of those that are lodged towards the east.
6 And when ye blow an alarm the second time, then ye shall move the camp of those that are lodged on the side of the Negev; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and you shall have them as a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
9 And when ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall 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, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace, that they may be to you for a memorial before your God; I AM 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 sons of Israel moved out of the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
13 And they moved the first time 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 sons 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 sons of Issachar was Nethaneel, the son of Zuar.
16 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun was Eliab, the son of Helon.
17 And the tabernacle was already taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
18 Then 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 sons of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.
20 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of Deuel.
21 Then the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary, and while they were coming, the others set up the tabernacle.
22 After them the standard of the camp of the sons 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 sons of Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.
24 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin was Abidan, the son of Gideoni.
25 Then the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan set forward according to their armies, gathering together all the camps, and over his host was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.
26 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ocran.
27 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan.
28 Thus were the journeyings of the sons of Israel according to their armies when they set forward.
29 ¶ Then Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you. Come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel.
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; for thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes.
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, that when we come into the goodness that the LORD shall do unto us, that we will do thee good.
33 Thus 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, searching out a resting place for them.
34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, from when they went out of the camp.
35 And it came to pass, when the ark was moved, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered, and let those that hate thee flee before thee.
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the ten thousands of Israel.
