Numbers 10:28-30

Contemporary English Version

²⁸ This was the order in which the Israelites marched each time they moved their camp.

²⁹ Hobab^[a] the Midianite, the father-in-law of Moses, was there. And Moses said to him, “We're leaving for the place the Lord has promised us. He has said that all will go well for us. So come along, and we will make sure that all goes well for you.”

³⁰ “No, I won't go,” Hobab answered. “I'm returning home to be with my own people.”
