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 spake unto Moses, saying,

Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.

And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

But when the congregation is to be gathered together, 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 enemy that oppresseth 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 with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord 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 children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

13 And they first took their journey 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 children 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 children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

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

17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.

18 And 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 children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

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

21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.

22 And the standard of the camp of the children 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 children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

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

25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.

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

28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.

29 And 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 you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.

30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.

31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.

32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

33 And 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, to search out a resting place for them.

34 And the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.

35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, unto the many thousands of Israel.

Two Silver Trumpets

10 The Lord spoke to Moses: ‘Make two trumpets of hammered silver to summon the community(A) and have the camps set out. When both are sounded in long blasts, the entire community is to gather before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. However, if one is sounded, only the leaders, the heads of Israel’s clans,(B) are to gather before you.

‘When you sound short blasts, the camps pitched on the east(C) are to set out. When you sound short blasts a second time, the camps pitched on the south(D) are to set out. Short blasts are to be sounded for them to set out. When calling the assembly together, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones. The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. Your use of these is a permanent statute throughout your generations.

‘When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who is attacking you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God and be saved from your enemies.(E) 10 You are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your fellowship sacrifices and on your joyous occasions, your appointed festivals, and the beginning of each of your months. They will serve as a reminder for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.’(F)

From Sinai to Paran

11 During the second year, in the second month on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was lifted up above the tabernacle of the testimony. 12 The Israelites travelled on from the Wilderness of Sinai, moving from one place to the next(G) until the cloud stopped in the Wilderness of Paran.(H) 13 They set out for the first time according to the Lord’s command through Moses.(I)

14 The military divisions of the camp of Judah’s descendants with their banner set out first, and Nahshon son of Amminadab(J) was over their divisions. 15 Nethanel son of Zuar(K) was over the division of the tribe of Issachar’s descendants, 16 and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun’s descendants. 17 The tabernacle was then taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting the tabernacle.

18 The military divisions of the camp of Reuben with their banner set out, and Elizur son of Shedeur was over their divisions. 19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai(L) was over the division of the tribe of Simeon’s descendants, 20 and Eliasaph son of Deuel[a] was over the division of the tribe of Gad’s descendants. 21 The Kohathites then set out, transporting the holy objects;(M) the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.

22 Next the military divisions of the camp of Ephraim’s descendants with their banner set out, and Elishama son of Ammihud(N) was over their divisions. 23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh’s descendants, 24 and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin’s descendants.

25 The military divisions of the camp of Dan’s descendants with their banner set out, serving as rear guard for all the camps, and Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai(O) was over their divisions. 26 Pagiel son of Ochran was over the division of the tribe of Asher’s descendants, 27 and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali’s descendants. 28 This was the order of march for the Israelites by their military divisions as they set out.

29 Moses said to Hobab, descendant of Reuel(P) the Midianite and Moses’s relative by marriage, ‘We’re setting out for the place the Lord promised, “I will give it to you.”(Q) Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.’(R)

30 But he replied to him, ‘I don’t want to go. Instead, I will go to my own land and my relatives.’

31 ‘Please don’t leave us,’ Moses said, ‘since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes. 32 If you come with us, whatever good the Lord does for us we will do for you.’(S)

33 They set out from the mountain of the Lord on a three-day journey with the ark of the Lord’s covenant travelling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.(T) 34 Meanwhile, the cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say:

Arise, Lord!
Let your enemies be scattered,
and those who hate you flee from your presence.(U)

36 When it came to rest, he would say:

Return, Lord,
to the countless thousands of Israel.(V)

Two Silver Trumpets

10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for (A)calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps. When (B)they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the (C)heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you. When you sound the (D)advance, (E)the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey. When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie (F)on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys. And when the assembly is to be gathered together, (G)you shall blow, but not (H)sound the advance. (I)The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an [a]ordinance forever throughout your generations.

(J)“When you go to war in your land against the enemy who (K)oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be (L)remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved from your enemies. 10 Also (M)in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be (N)a memorial for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.”

Departure from Sinai

11 Now it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud (O)was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony. 12 And the children of Israel set out from the (P)Wilderness of Sinai on (Q)their journeys; then the cloud settled down in the (R)Wilderness of Paran. 13 So they started out for the first time (S)according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

14 The [b]standard of the camp of the children of Judah (T)set out first according to their armies; over their army was (U)Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

17 Then (V)the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, (W)carrying the tabernacle.

18 And (X)the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their armies; over their army was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 19 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

21 Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the (Y)holy things. (The tabernacle would be [c]prepared for their arrival.)

22 And (Z)the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set out according to their armies; over their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 23 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

25 Then (AA)the standard of the camp of the children of Dan (the rear guard of all the camps) set out according to their armies; over their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

28 (AB)Thus was the order of march of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they began their journey.

29 Now Moses said to (AC)Hobab the son of (AD)Reuel[d] the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, (AE)‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and (AF)we will treat you well; for (AG)the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

30 And he said to him, “I will not go, but I will depart to my own land and to my relatives.”

31 So Moses said, “Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can [e]be our (AH)eyes. 32 And it shall be, if you go with us—indeed it shall be—that (AI)whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same we will do to you.”

33 So they departed from (AJ)the mountain of the Lord on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord (AK)went before them for the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them. 34 And (AL)the cloud of the Lord was above them by day when they went out from the camp.

35 So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said:

(AM)“Rise up, O Lord!
Let Your enemies be scattered,
And let those who hate You flee before You.”

36 And when it rested, he said:

“Return, O Lord,
To the many thousands of Israel.”
