銀號筒

10 耶和華吩咐摩西說: 「你要用銀子做兩枝號筒,把它們錘出來,給你用來召集會眾,拔營起行。 吹號的時候,全會眾要到你那裏,聚集在會幕的門口。 若只吹一枝,眾領袖,就是以色列部隊的官長,要到你那裏聚集。 你們大聲吹號的時候,東邊安營的要起行。 第二次大聲吹號的時候,南邊安營的要起行。起行的時候,要大聲吹號; 但召集會眾的時候,你們要吹號,卻不要吹出大聲。 亞倫子孫作祭司的要吹這號筒,作為你們世世代代永遠的定例。 當你們在自己的土地上,與欺壓你們的敵人打仗時,要用號筒吹出大聲。你們就在耶和華—你們的 神面前得蒙記念,也必蒙拯救脫離仇敵。 10 在快樂的日子,節期和初一,獻燔祭與平安祭的時候,你們要吹號筒,在你們的 神面前作為紀念。我是耶和華—你們的 神。」

離開西奈山

11 第二年二月二十日,雲彩從法櫃的帳幕上升。 12 以色列人離開西奈的曠野,一段一段地往前行,雲彩停在巴蘭的曠野。 13 他們遵照耶和華藉摩西所指示的,初次往前行。 14 按照隊伍首先起行的是猶大營旗幟下的人,帶隊的是亞米拿達的兒子拿順 15 以薩迦支派帶隊的是蘇押的兒子拿坦業 16 西布倫支派帶隊的是希倫的兒子以利押

17 帳幕拆卸了,革順的子孫和米拉利的子孫就抬着帳幕往前行。 18 按照隊伍往前行的是呂便營旗幟下的人,帶隊的是示丟珥的兒子以利蓿 19 西緬支派帶隊的是蘇利沙代的兒子示路蔑 20 迦得支派帶隊的是丟珥的兒子以利雅薩

21 哥轄人抬着聖物往前行。他們未到以前,帳幕已經立好了。 22 按照隊伍往前行的是以法蓮營旗幟下的人,帶隊的是亞米忽的兒子以利沙瑪 23 瑪拿西支派帶隊的是比大蓿的兒子迦瑪列 24 便雅憫支派帶隊的是基多尼的兒子亞比但

25 作全營後衛,按隊伍往前行的是營旗幟下的人,帶隊的是亞米沙代的兒子亞希以謝 26 亞設支派帶隊的是俄蘭的兒子帕結 27 拿弗他利支派帶隊的是以南的兒子亞希拉 28 以色列人就這樣按着隊伍往前行。

29 摩西對他岳父[a]米甸流珥的兒子何巴說:「我們要往前行,到耶和華所說的地方;他曾說:『我要將這地賜給你們。』現在請你和我們同去,我們必善待你,因為耶和華已經應許賜福氣給以色列人。」 30 何巴對他說:「我不去,我要回本地本族去。」 31 摩西說:「請你不要離開我們,因為你知道我們要在曠野安營,你可以當我們的眼目。 32 你若和我們同去,將來耶和華以甚麼福氣恩待我們,我們也必這樣善待你。」

約櫃和百姓往前行

33 以色列人離開耶和華的山,往前行了三天的路程。耶和華的約櫃在前面行了三天的路程,為他們尋找安歇的地方。 34 他們拔營往前行,日間有耶和華的雲彩在他們上面。 35 約櫃往前行的時候,摩西說:

「耶和華啊,求你興起!
願你的仇敵潰散!
願恨你的人從你面前逃跑!」

36 約櫃停住的時候,他說:

以色列千萬人的耶和華啊,求你回來[b]!」

银号

10 耶和华对摩西说: “你要用银子打造两支号,用来招聚会众和发出拔营的号令。 吹响两支号时,全体会众要聚集到你那里,即会幕门口。 如果只吹响一支号,担任首领的以色列各族长要聚集到你那里。 如果吹响拔营的号令,在东面扎营的就要启行; 第二次吹响拔营号令时,在南面扎营的就要启行。拔营号令是启行的信号。 但吹号招聚会众时,不要用拔营号令。 做祭司的亚伦子孙要负责吹号,这是世代不变的律例。 当你们在自己的土地上跟敌人作战时,要吹号,你们的上帝耶和华必眷顾你们,救你们脱离敌人。 10 在节期和朔日[a]这些欢乐的日子献燔祭和平安祭的时候,你们要吹号,好在你们的上帝面前蒙眷顾。我是你们的上帝耶和华。”

离开西奈山

11 第二年的二月二十日,云彩从安放约柜的圣幕上升起, 12 以色列人就从西奈旷野启行,直到云彩停在巴兰旷野时才停下来。 13 这是他们初次照耶和华借摩西的吩咐启行。

14 犹大旗下的营队率先出发,率领犹大支派的是亚米拿达的儿子拿顺, 15 率领以萨迦支派的是苏押的儿子拿坦业, 16 率领西布伦支派的是希伦的儿子以利押。 17 然后,圣幕被拆下,革顺和米拉利的子孙抬着圣幕出发。 18 随后出发的是吕便旗下的营队,率领吕便支派的是示丢珥的儿子以利苏, 19 率领西缅支派的是苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑, 20 率领迦得支派的是丢珥的儿子以利雅萨。

21 随后出发的是哥辖人,他们抬着圣物前行。在他们到达之前,圣幕应已支好。 22 随后出发的是以法莲旗下的营队,率领以法莲支派的是亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛, 23 率领玛拿西支派的是比大苏的儿子迦玛列, 24 率领便雅悯支派的是基多尼的儿子亚比但。

25 殿后的是但旗下的营队,率领但支派的是亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢, 26 率领亚设支派的是俄兰的儿子帕结, 27 率领拿弗他利支派的是以南的儿子亚希拉。 28 这是以色列各营队拔营前行的次序。

29 摩西对岳父流珥之子米甸人何巴说:“我们就要动身前往耶和华应许给我们的地方,祂曾说要把那地方赐给我们。请你跟我们一起去吧,我们必厚待你,耶和华已经应许要赐福给以色列人。” 30 何巴说:“我不去了,我要回到我的家乡和亲族那里。” 31 摩西说:“请不要离开我们。你熟悉旷野,可以做我们的向导,告诉我们在哪里扎营。 32 如果你跟我们同去,我们一定与你分享耶和华赐给我们的福气。”

33 以色列人离开耶和华的山,走了三天的路程,期间耶和华的约柜一直在队伍的前头,为他们寻找安营之地。 34 他们拔营前行的时候,白天总有耶和华的云彩在他们上面。 35 每当约柜出发的时候,摩西就说:“耶和华啊,求你兴起,击溃你的敌人,使恨你的人逃窜。” 36 约柜停下来的时候,他就说:“耶和华啊,求你回到以色列的千万人中。”

The Silver Trumpets

10 The Lord said to Moses: “Make two trumpets(A) of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community(B) together and for having the camps set out.(C) When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. If only one is sounded, the leaders(D)—the heads of the clans of Israel—are to assemble before you. When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.(E) At the sounding of a second blast, the camps on the south are to set out.(F) The blast will be the signal for setting out. To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets,(G) but not with the signal for setting out.(H)

“The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to blow the trumpets. This is to be a lasting ordinance for you and the generations to come.(I) When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you,(J) sound a blast on the trumpets.(K) Then you will be remembered(L) by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.(M) 10 Also at your times of rejoicing—your appointed festivals and New Moon feasts(N)—you are to sound the trumpets(O) over your burnt offerings(P) and fellowship offerings,(Q) and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.(R)

The Israelites Leave Sinai

11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year,(S) the cloud lifted(T) from above the tabernacle of the covenant law.(U) 12 Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran.(V) 13 They set out, this first time, at the Lord’s command through Moses.(W)

14 The divisions of the camp of Judah went first, under their standard.(X) Nahshon son of Amminadab(Y) was in command. 15 Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe(Z) of Issachar,(AA) 16 and Eliab son of Helon(AB) was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.(AC) 17 Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and Merarites, who carried it, set out.(AD)

18 The divisions of the camp of Reuben(AE) went next, under their standard.(AF) Elizur son of Shedeur(AG) was in command. 19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,(AH) 20 and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.(AI) 21 Then the Kohathites(AJ) set out, carrying the holy things.(AK) The tabernacle was to be set up before they arrived.(AL)

22 The divisions of the camp of Ephraim(AM) went next, under their standard. Elishama son of Ammihud(AN) was in command. 23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,(AO) 24 and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.(AP)

25 Finally, as the rear guard(AQ) for all the units, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai(AR) was in command. 26 Pagiel son of Okran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,(AS) 27 and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.(AT) 28 This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.

29 Now Moses said to Hobab(AU) son of Reuel(AV) the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law,(AW) “We are setting out for the place about which the Lord said, ‘I will give it to you.’(AX) Come with us and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

30 He answered, “No, I will not go;(AY) I am going back to my own land and my own people.(AZ)

31 But Moses said, “Please do not leave us. You know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.(BA) 32 If you come with us, we will share with you(BB) whatever good things the Lord gives us.(BC)

33 So they set out(BD) from the mountain of the Lord and traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord(BE) went before them during those three days to find them a place to rest.(BF) 34 The cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.(BG)

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses said,

“Rise up,(BH) Lord!
    May your enemies be scattered;(BI)
    may your foes flee before you.(BJ)(BK)

36 Whenever it came to rest, he said,

“Return,(BL) Lord,
    to the countless thousands of Israel.(BM)

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 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.”
