Op weg met God
10 1,2 Nu zei de Here tegen Mozes: ‘Maak twee trompetten van gedreven zilver. Die moeten worden gebruikt om het sein “verzamelen” en “opbreken” te blazen. 3 Als op twee trompetten wordt geblazen, is dat het teken dat het hele volk zich moet verzamelen bij de ingang van de tabernakel. 4 Als één trompet wordt geblazen, moeten alleen de stamhoofden zich bij u verzamelen. 5-7 Er zullen verschillende trompetsignalen nodig zijn om onderscheid te maken tussen het sein “verzamelen” en “opbreken en verder trekken”. Als het vertreksignaal wordt geblazen, moeten de stammen die aan de oostkant van de tabernakel hun kamp hebben, het eerst vertrekken. Bij het volgende signaal vertrekken de stammen aan de zuidkant. 8 Alleen de priesters mogen de trompet blazen. Dit is een vaste instelling die van generatie op generatie moet worden nageleefd. 9 Wanneer u aankomt in het beloofde land en oorlog voert tegen uw vijanden, zal de Here u horen en u te hulp komen als u in nood alarm blaast op de trompetten. 10 Gebruik de trompetten ook in tijden van blijdschap: tijdens de jaarlijkse feesten en aan het begin van elke maand om uw vreugde over de brandoffers en vredeoffers te laten blijken. God zal dan steeds weer denken aan zijn verbond met u. Want Ik ben de Here, uw God.’
11 De wolk steeg op boven de tabernakel op de twintigste dag van de tweede maand van het tweede jaar na Israëls uittocht uit Egypte. 12 De Israëlieten verlieten de Sinaï-woestijn en volgden de wolk naar de woestijn Paran. 13 Dit was hun eerste reis sinds de Here aan Mozes de reisopdrachten had gegeven.
14 Aan het hoofd van de stoet liep de stam Juda, gegroepeerd achter de stambanier, onder leiding van Nachson, de zoon van Amminadab. 15 Daarachter kwamen de stam van Issachar, onder leiding van Netanel, de zoon van Suar, 16 en de stam van Zebulon, geleid door Eliab, de zoon van Chelon. 17 De tabernakel was afgebroken en de Gersonieten en Merarieten waren de volgende groep in de stoet. Zij droegen de tabernakel op hun schouders. 18 Daarachter kwam de banier van Ruben, waar Elisur, de zoon van Sedeür zijn mensen leidde. 19 De volgende stammen waren die van Simeon, onder leiding van Selumiël, de zoon van Surisaddai, 20 en die van Gad, onder leiding van Eljasaf, de zoon van Deüel. 21 Achter deze twee stammen liepen de Kehatieten, die de voorwerpen uit het Heilige droegen. Wanneer zij op de nieuwe kampplaats aankwamen, hadden de anderen de tabernakel al opgezet. 22 Achter deze Levieten kwamen de stam van Efraïm, onder leiding van Elisama, de zoon van Ammihud, 23 de stam van Manasse, onder leiding van Gamliël, de zoon van Pedasur, 24 en die van Benjamin, onder leiding van Abidan, de zoon van Gidoni. 25 De achterhoede van de stoet bestond uit de stam van Dan, onder leiding van Achiëzer, de zoon van Ammisaddai, 26 de stam van Aser, onder leiding van Pagiël, de zoon van Ochran, 27 en ten slotte de stam van Naftali, onder leiding van Achira, de zoon van Enan. 28 Dat was de volgorde waarin de stammen reisden.
29 Op een dag zei Mozes tegen zijn zwager Chobab, de zoon van zijn schoonvader Jetro: ‘Wij zijn nu eindelijk echt op weg naar het beloofde land. Ga toch met ons mee, er zal goed voor je gezorgd worden. Want de Here heeft Israël veel goeds beloofd.’ 30 Maar zijn zwager antwoordde: ‘Nee, ik wil terug naar mijn eigen land en mijn familie.’ 31 ‘Blijf toch bij ons,’ drong Mozes aan, ‘want jij kent de weg in de woestijn en je zou ons goed kunnen helpen. 32 Als je meegaat, kun je ook genieten van al het goede dat de Here ons gaat geven.’
33 Nadat de Israëlieten bij de berg Sinaï waren opgebroken, trokken zij drie dagreizen verder. De ark ging voorop om de volgende stopplaats aan te wijzen. 34 Het was dag toen zij vertrokken en de wolk ging voor hen uit toen zij zich in beweging zetten. 35 Wanneer de ark werd opgenomen en verder gedragen, riep Mozes luid: ‘Sta op, Here, en sla uw vijanden uiteen, laten zij voor U op de vlucht slaan!’ 36 En wanneer de ark werd neergezet, zei hij: ‘Keer terug, Here, en zegen de stammen van Israël.’

Two Silver Trumpets
10 The Lord spoke to Moses: 2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver to summon the community(A) and have the camps set out. 3 When both are sounded in long blasts, the entire community is to gather before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 4 However, if one is sounded, only the leaders, the heads of Israel’s clans,(B) are to gather before you.
5 “When you sound short blasts, the camps pitched on the east(C) are to set out. 6 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. 7 When calling the assembly together, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones. 8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. Your use of these is a permanent statute throughout your generations.
9 “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 traveled 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 traveling 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)

The Silver Trumpets
10 The Lord said to Moses: 2 “Make two trumpets(A) of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community(B) together and for having the camps set out.(C) 3 When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 4 If only one is sounded, the leaders(D)—the heads of the clans of Israel—are to assemble before you. 5 When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.(E) 6 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. 7 To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets,(G) but not with the signal for setting out.(H)
8 “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) 9 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,
36 Whenever it came to rest, he said,
