制银号

10 耶和华晓谕摩西说: “你要用银子做两支号,都要锤出来的,用以招聚会众,并叫众营起行。 吹这号的时候,全会众要到你那里,聚集在会幕门口。 若单吹一支,众首领,就是以色列军中的统领,要聚集到你那里。 吹出大声的时候,东边安的营都要起行。 二次吹出大声的时候,南边安的营都要起行。他们将起行,必吹出大声。 但招聚会众的时候,你们要吹号,却不要吹出大声。 亚伦子孙做祭司的要吹这号,这要做你们世世代代永远的定例。 你们在自己的地与欺压你们的敌人打仗,就要用号吹出大声,便在耶和华你们的神面前得蒙记念,也蒙拯救脱离仇敌。 10 在你们快乐的日子和节期并月朔献燔祭和平安祭,也要吹号,这都要在你们的神面前作为纪念。我是耶和华你们的神。”

以色列人离西奈野至巴兰野按站启行

11 第二年二月二十日,云彩从法柜的帐幕收上去。 12 以色列人就按站往前行,离开西奈的旷野,云彩停住在巴兰的旷野。 13 这是他们照耶和华借摩西所吩咐的,初次往前行。 14 按着军队首先往前行的是犹大营的纛,统领军队的是亚米拿达的儿子拿顺 15 统领以萨迦支派军队的是苏押的儿子拿坦业 16 统领西布伦支派军队的是希伦的儿子以利押

17 帐幕拆卸,革顺的子孙和米拉利的子孙就抬着帐幕先往前行。 18 按着军队往前行的是鲁本营的纛,统领军队的是示丢珥的儿子以利蓿 19 统领西缅支派军队的是苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑 20 统领迦得支派军队的是丢珥的儿子以利雅萨

21 哥辖人抬着圣物先往前行,他们未到以前,抬帐幕的已经把帐幕支好。 22 按着军队往前行的是以法莲营的纛,统领军队的是亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛 23 统领玛拿西支派军队的是比大蓿的儿子迦玛列 24 统领便雅悯支派军队的是基多尼的儿子亚比但

25 在诸营末后的是营的纛,按着军队往前行,统领军队的是亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢 26 统领亚设支派军队的是俄兰的儿子帕结 27 统领拿弗他利支派军队的是以南的儿子亚希拉 28 以色列人按着军队往前行,就是这样。

29 摩西对他岳父[a]米甸流珥的儿子何巴说:“我们要行路,往耶和华所应许之地去。他曾说:‘我要将这地赐给你们。’现在求你和我们同去,我们必厚待你,因为耶和华指着以色列人已经应许给好处。” 30 何巴回答说:“我不去,我要回本地本族那里去。” 31 摩西说:“求你不要离开我们,因为你知道我们要在旷野安营,你可以当做我们的眼目。 32 你若和我们同去,将来耶和华有什么好处待我们,我们也必以什么好处待你。”

33 以色列人离开耶和华的山,往前行了三天的路程。耶和华的约柜在前头行了三天的路程,为他们寻找安歇的地方。 34 他们拔营往前行,日间有耶和华的云彩在他们以上。

35 约柜往前行的时候,摩西就说:“耶和华啊,求你兴起!愿你的仇敌四散,愿恨你的人从你面前逃跑!” 36 约柜停住的时候,他就说:“耶和华啊,求你回到以色列的千万人中!”

  1. 民数记 10:29 或作:内兄。

10 And the Lord said to Moses,

Make two trumpets of silver; of hammered or turned work you shall make them, that you may use them to call the congregation and for breaking camp.

When they both are blown, all the congregation shall assemble before you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

And if one blast on a single trumpet is blown, then the princes or leaders, heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.

When you blow an alarm, the camps on the east side [of the tabernacle] shall set out.

When you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps on the south side shall set out. An alarm shall be blown whenever they are to set out on their journeys.

When the congregation is to be assembled, you shall blow [the trumpets in short, sharp tones], but not the blast of an alarm.

And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets, and the trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

When you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then blow an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.

10 Also in the day of rejoicing, and in your set feasts, and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your peace offerings; thus they may be a remembrance before your God. I am the Lord your God.

11 On the twentieth day of the second month in the second year [since leaving Egypt], the cloud [of the Lord’s presence] was taken up from over the tabernacle of the Testimony,

12 And the Israelites took their journey by stages out of the Wilderness of Sinai, and the [guiding] cloud rested in the Wilderness of Paran.

13 When the journey was to begin, at the command of the Lord through Moses,

14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah by their companies; and over their host was Nahshon son of Amminadab.

15 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar was Nethanel son of Zuar.

16 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun was Eliab son of Helon.

17 When the tabernacle was taken down, the sons of Gershon and Merari, bearing [it] on their shoulders, set out.

18 The standard of the camp of Reuben set forward by their companies; and over Reuben’s host was Elizur son of Shedeur.

19 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon was Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.

20 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad was Eliasaph son of Deuel.

21 Then the Kohathites set forward, bearing the holy things, and the tabernacle was set up before they arrived.

22 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim set forward according to their companies; and over Ephraim’s host was Elishama son of Ammihud.

23 Over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh was Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.

24 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin was Abidan son of Gideoni.

25 Then the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, which was the rear guard of all the camps, set forward according to their companies; and over Dan’s host was Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.

26 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher was Pagiel son of Ochran.

27 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali was Ahira son of Enan.

28 This was the Israelites’ order of march by their hosts when they set out.

29 And Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which the Lord said, I will give it to you. Come with us, and we will do you good, for the Lord has promised good concerning Israel.

30 And Hobab said to him, I will not go; I will depart to my own land and to my family.

31 And Moses said, [a]Do not leave us, I pray you; for you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us.

32 And if you will go with us, it shall be that whatever good the Lord does to us, the same we will do to you.

33 They departed from the mountain of the Lord [Mount Sinai] three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them during the three days’ journey to seek out a resting-place for them.

34 The cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they went forward from the camp.

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, Rise up, Lord; let Your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate You flee before You.(A)

36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands in Israel.
