Numbers 10
New American Standard Bible
The Silver Trumpets
10 The Lord spoke further to Moses, saying, 2 “Make yourself two trumpets of silver, you shall make them of hammered work; and you shall use them for (A)summoning the congregation and breaking camp. 3 Now (B)when both are blown, all the congregation shall meet you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 4 But if only one is blown, then the (C)leaders, the heads of the [a]divisions of Israel, shall meet you. 5 And when you blow an alarm, the camps that are pitched (D)on the east side shall set out. 6 Then when you sound an alarm the second time, the camps that are pitched on (E)the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be sounded for them to break camp. 7 When convening the assembly, however, you shall blow the trumpets without (F)sounding an alarm. 8 (G)The sons of Aaron, moreover, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and this shall be a permanent statute for you throughout your generations. 9 And when you go to war in your land against the enemy who (H)attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you will be (I)thought of by the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies. 10 Also on the day of your joy and at your appointed [b]feasts, and on the first days of your months, (J)you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”
The Tribes Leave Sinai
11 Now in (K)the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was lifted from above the [c]tabernacle of the testimony; 12 and the sons of Israel set out on (L)their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled in the (M)wilderness of Paran. 13 (N)So they moved on for the first time in accordance with the [d]command of the Lord through Moses. 14 The [e]flag of the camp of the sons of Judah, by their armies, (O)set out first, with Nahshon the son of Amminadab, over its army, 15 and Nethanel the son of Zuar, over the tribal army of the sons of Issachar; 16 and Eliab the son of Helon over the tribal army of the sons of Zebulun.
17 (P)Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set out. 18 Next (Q)the flag of the camp of Reuben, by their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army, 19 and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the tribal army of the sons of Simeon, 20 and Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the tribal army of the sons of Gad.
21 (R)Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy objects; and (S)the tabernacle was set up before their arrival. 22 (T)Next the flag of the camp of the sons of Ephraim, by their armies, set out, with Elishama the son of Ammihud over its army, 23 and Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur over the tribal army of the sons of Manasseh; 24 and Abidan the son of Gideoni over the tribal army of the sons of Benjamin.
25 (U)Then the flag of the camp of the sons of Dan, by their armies, which formed the (V)rear guard for all the camps, set out, with Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai over its army, 26 and Pagiel the son of Ochran over the tribal army of the sons of Asher; 27 and Ahira the son of Enan over the tribal army of the sons of Naphtali. 28 [f]This was the order of marching for the sons of Israel by their armies as they set out.
29 Then Moses said to (W)Hobab the son of (X)Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out to the place of which the Lord said, ‘(Y)I will give it to you.’ (Z)Come with us and we will do you good, for the Lord (AA)has [g]promised good concerning Israel.” 30 But he said to him, “(AB)I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives.” 31 Then he said, “Please do not leave us, since you know [h]where we should camp in the wilderness, and you (AC)will be as eyes for us. 32 So it will be, if you go with us, that [i](AD)whatever good the Lord [j]does for us, (AE)we will [k]do for you.”
33 (AF)So they moved on from the mountain of the Lord three days’ journey, with (AG)the ark of the covenant of the Lord going on in front of them for the [l]three days, to seek out (AH)a resting place for them. 34 (AI)And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
35 Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said,
“(AJ)Rise up, Lord!
And may Your enemies be scattered,
And those (AK)who hate You flee from Your presence.”
36 And when it came to rest, he said,

De to sølvtrompeter
10 Herren sagde nu til Moses: 2 „Lav to trompeter af hamret sølv. De skal bruges som signalhorn, så folket ved, hvornår det er tid at samles, og hvornår det er tid at bryde op. 3 Når der blæses i begge trompeter på en gang, er det signal til, at folket skal samles ved åbenbaringsteltets indgang, 4 men når der kun blæses i den ene, er det signal til at kun stammelederne skal mødes.
5 Når I blæser signalet til opbrud, skal de stammer, der ligger i lejr ved østsiden af boligen, bryde op først. 6 Når opbrudssignalet lyder en gang til, skal stammerne ved sydsiden følge efter. Ved det tredje trompetsignal skal stammerne mod vest bryde op, og ved det fjerde signal skal stammerne mod nord bryde op.[a] 7 Men skal folket blot kaldes sammen, skal I blæse et andet signal. 8 Præsterne er de eneste, som må blæse i trompeterne. Denne ordning skal gælde fremover fra slægt til slægt.
9 Når I kommer ind i det land, jeg har lovet jer, og I går i krig mod en fjende, der undertrykker jer, skal I blæse opbrudssignalet i trompeterne, så vil jeg gribe ind og redde jer fra jeres fjender. 10 Når det er tid til at fejre de årlige og månedlige højtider, skal I blæse i trompeterne. Det er signalet til, at der skal bringes brændofre og takofre. De skal minde jer om, at jeg er iblandt jer. Jeg er Herren, jeres Gud.”
Rejsen bort fra Sinaibjerget begynder
11 På den 20. dag i den anden måned, et år efter, at Israels folk havde forladt Egypten, løftede skyen sig fra boligen med pagtens ark, 12 og skyen viste israelitterne vej fra Sinaiørkenen hele vejen op til Parans ørken.
13 Vandringen skete i overensstemmelse med de instrukser, Herren havde givet Moses. 14 Først skulle Judas stamme bryde op med banneret for den første hærafdeling. De blev anført af Nahshon. 15 Issakars stamme, anført af Netanel, 16 og Zebulons stamme, anført af Eliab, fulgte med i den første afdeling. 17 Derefter blev åbenbaringsteltet pakket sammen, og det var Gershons og Meraris slægter af Levis stamme, der drog af sted med det på skuldrene.
18 Så skulle Rubens stamme bryde op med banneret for den anden hærafdeling. De blev anført af Elitzur. 19 Simeons stamme, anført af Shelumiel, 20 og Gads stamme, anført af Eljasaf, fulgte med i den anden hærafdeling. 21 Derpå skulle Kehats slægt bryde op. Det var dem, der bar de hellige ting fra boligen, og åbenbaringsteltet ville så allerede være stillet op, når de nåede frem til den nye lejrplads.
22 Derefter skulle Efraims stamme bryde op med banneret for den tredje hærafdeling. De blev anført af Elishama. 23 Manasses stamme, anført af Gamliel, 24 og Benjamins stamme, anført af Abidan, fulgte med i den tredje hærafdeling.
25 Til sidst skulle Dans stamme bryde op med banneret for den fjerde hærafdeling. De blev anført af Ahiezer. 26 Ashers stamme, anført af Pagiel, 27 og Naftalis stamme, anført af Ahira, fulgte med i den sidste hærafdeling. 28 Således skulle stammerne bryde op i rækkefølge og vandre af sted i de foreskrevne hærafdelinger.
29 Da de skulle til at begynde vandringen, sagde Moses til sin svoger,[b] midjanitten Hobab: „Endelig er vi på vej mod det land, Herren har lovet os. Hvis du vil følge med os, vil vi belønne dig rigeligt, for Herren har givet Israels folk gode løfter.”
30 Men Hobab svarede: „Nej tak, jeg må tilbage til mit land og min slægt.”
31 „Jo, bliv nu hos os,” bad Moses. „Vi har brug for dig, for du kender ørkenen og ved, hvor det er bedst at slå lejr. 32 Hvis du går med os, skal du nok få del i alt det gode, Herren vil give os.” Det gjorde han så.
33-34 De vandrede derefter væk fra Herrens bjerg, mens skyen svævede over pagtens ark, som blev båret forrest for at vise dem vej. Efter tre dagsrejser kom de til et sted, hvor de kunne slå lejr og hvile ud.
35 Hver gang de løftede arken for at gå videre, råbte Moses: „Rejs dig, Herre. Slå dine fjender på flugt, så de spredes for alle vinde.” 36 Og hver gang de holdt hvil, sagde han: „Vend tilbage, Herre. Bliv hos disse tusindvis af israelitter.”
