Bamidbar 10
Orthodox Jewish Bible
10 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2 Make thee two tzotzerot (trumpets) of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them; that thou mayest use them for the calling of the Edah, and for the setting out of the machanot.
3 And when they shall sound them, Kol HaEdah shall assemble themselves to thee at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.
4 And if they sound but with one, then the Nasi’im, which are heads of Yisroel’s thousands, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 When ye sound a teruah, then the machanot that camp on the east shall go forward.
6 When ye sound a teruah the second time, then the machanot that camp on the south shall set out; they shall sound a teruah for their settings out.
7 But when the Kahal is to be gathered together, ye shall sound it, but ye shall not sound a teruah.
8 And the Bnei Aharon, the kohanim, shall sound the tzotzerot; and they shall be to you for a chukkat olam throughout your dorot.
9 And if ye go into milchamah (battle) in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound a blast on the tzotzerot; and ye shall be remembered before Hashem Eloheichem, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Also in the day of your simcha, and in your moadim, and in the Rosh-Chodesh, ye shall sound a blast on the tzotzerot over your olot, and over the zevakhim of your shelamim; that they may be to you for a memorial reminder before Eloheichem: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the Anan was lifted up from off the Mishkan HaEdut.
12 And the Bnei Yisroel set out in their travels from the Midbar Sinai; and the Anan rested in the Midbar Paran.
13 And they first set out according to the mouth of Hashem by the hand of Moshe.
14 First in place went the degel of the machaneh of the Bnei Yehudah according to their tzivos; and over his division was Nachshon ben Amminadav.
15 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Yissakhar was Netanel ben Tzuar.
16 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Zevulun was Eliav ben Helon.
17 And the Mishkan was taken down; and the Bnei Gershon and the Bnei Merari set out, bearing the Mishkan.
18 And the degel of the machaneh of Reuven set out according to their tzivos (armies); and over his division was Elitzur ben Shedeur.
19 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Shim’on was Shelumiel ben Tzurishaddai.
20 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Gad was Elyasaph ben Deuel.
21 And the descendants of Kehat set out, bearing the Mikdash; and they would erect the Mishkan before their arrival.
22 And the degel of the machaneh of the Bnei Ephrayim set out according to their tzivos (armies); and over his division was Elishama ben Ammihud.
23 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Menasheh was Gamli’el ben Pedahtzur.
24 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Binyamin was Avidan ben Gideoni.
25 And the degel of the machaneh of the Bnei Dan set out, which formed the rear guard of all the machanot throughout their tzivos; and over his division was Achiezer ben Ammishaddai.
26 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Asher was Pagiel ben Ochran.
27 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Naphtali was Achira ben Enan.
28 Thus was the order of march of the Bnei Yisroel according to their tzivos (armies), when they set out.
29 And Moshe said unto Chovav ben Reuel the Midyani, Moshe’s khoten (father-in-law), We are traveling unto the place of which Hashem said, I will give it you: Come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for Hashem hath promised tov concerning Yisroel.
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my moledet.
31 And he [Moshe] said, Leave us not, please; forasmuch as thou hast da’as how we are to encamp in the midbar, and thou mayest be to us as eyes.
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what tov Hashem shall do unto us, the same will we share with thee.
33 And they departed from the Mountain of Hashem three days’ journey; the Aron Brit Hashem went before them in the three days’ derech, to search out a menuchah for them.
34 And the Anan of Hashem was upon them by day, when they set out from the machaneh.
35 And it came to pass, when the Aron set out, that Moshe said, Rise up, Hashem, and let Thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee.
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, Hashem, unto the countless thousands of Yisroel.
Numbers 10
Tree of Life Version
Silver Trumpets for Assembly
10 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver for yourself. They are for summoning the community and having the camps set out. 3 Whenever both are sounded, the whole community is to gather toward you at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. 4 But if only one is sounded, the princes—the heads of the tribes of Israel—are to gather toward you. 5 When you sound the trumpet the first time, the camp of those camped on the east is to set out. 6 When you sound the trumpet blast the second time, the camp of those camped on the south is to set out. Short blasts will be the signal for their moving out. 7 To gather the whole national community, you are to sound the sustained blasts, but not the short blasts. 8 The sons of Aaron will blow the trumpets. This is to be an eternal ordinance for you as well as for your generations to come.
9 Whenever you go to war in your own land against the enemy who is hostile to you, you are to sound short blasts of alarm. Then you will be remembered before Adonai your God and be delivered from your enemies.
10 Also at your days of rejoicing, feasts and new moons, you are to blow on the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. They will then be a reminder for you before Adonai your God. I am Adonai your God!”
Journey From Sinai
11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted up from above the Tabernacle of the Testimony. 12 Then Bnei-Yisrael set out on their travels in the Sinai wilderness. The cloud came to rest in the wilderness of Paran. 13 So they set out the first time by the mouth of Adonai by Moses’s hand.
14 The standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set out first by their divisions. Over them was Nahshon son of Amminadab. 15 Over the division of the tribe of the sons of Issachar was Nethanel son of Zuar. 16 Over the division of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun was Eliab son of Helon.
17 Then the Tabernacle was disassembled, and the sons of Gershon and Merari, who were carrying it, set out. 18 The standard of the camp of Reuben then set out, by their divisions. Over his division was Elizur son of Shedeur. 19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai, was over the division of the tribe of the sons of Simeon. 20 Over the division of the tribe of the sons of Gad was Eliasaph son of Deuel.
21 Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy items. The Tabernacle was to be erected before their arrival.
22 The standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim set out next, by their divisions. Over his division was Elishama son of Ammihud. 23 Over the division of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh was Gamaliel son of Pedahzur. 24 Over the division of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin was Abidan son of Gideoni.
25 The standard of the camp of the tribe of the sons of Dan, being the rear guard of all the camps, set out by their divisions. Over his division was Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai. 26 Pagiel son of Ochran, was over the division of the tribe of the sons of Asher. 27 Ahira son of Enan, was over the division of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali.
28 This is the order by which Bnei-Yisrael, by their divisions, set out.
29 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out to the place about which Adonai said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will do good to you, because Adonai has spoken goodness to Israel.”
30 But he said to him, “I will not go, because I would rather go to my own country and to my own people.”
31 But he said, “Do not leave us now, because you know where we should camp in the wilderness. You can be like eyes to us. 32 If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good Adonai gives to us.”
33 So they advanced from the mountain of Adonai, a trip of three days, the Ark of the covenant of Adonai going ahead of them for those three days to seek out a resting place for them. 34 The cloud of Adonai was over them by day when they advanced from the camp.
35 Whenever the Ark would set out, Moses would say:
“Arise, Adonai! May Your enemies be scattered!
May those who hate You flee from before You!”
36 Then whenever it came to rest, he would say:
“Return, Adonai, to the myriad thousands of Israel!”
