²⁸ This, then, was the order of march, company by company, whenever the Israelites broke camp and set out.

²⁹ Moses said to his brother-in-law Hobab son of Jethro the Midianite, “We are about to start out for the place which the Lord said he would give us. He has promised to make Israel prosperous, so come with us, and we will share our prosperity with you.”
