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,

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.”

Two Silver Trumpets
10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for (A)calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps. 3 When (B)they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 4 But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the (C)heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you. 5 When you sound the (D)advance, (E)the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey. 6 When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie (F)on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys. 7 And when the assembly is to be gathered together, (G)you shall blow, but not (H)sound the advance. 8 (I)The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an [a]ordinance forever throughout your generations.
9 (J)“When you go to war in your land against the enemy who (K)oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be (L)remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved from your enemies. 10 Also (M)in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be (N)a memorial for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.”
Departure from Sinai
11 Now it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud (O)was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony. 12 And the children of Israel set out from the (P)Wilderness of Sinai on (Q)their journeys; then the cloud settled down in the (R)Wilderness of Paran. 13 So they started out for the first time (S)according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
14 The [b]standard of the camp of the children of Judah (T)set out first according to their armies; over their army was (U)Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
17 Then (V)the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, (W)carrying the tabernacle.
18 And (X)the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their armies; over their army was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 19 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
21 Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the (Y)holy things. (The tabernacle would be [c]prepared for their arrival.)
22 And (Z)the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set out according to their armies; over their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 23 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
25 Then (AA)the standard of the camp of the children of Dan (the rear guard of all the camps) set out according to their armies; over their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
28 (AB)Thus was the order of march of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they began their journey.
29 Now Moses said to (AC)Hobab the son of (AD)Reuel[d] the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, (AE)‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and (AF)we will treat you well; for (AG)the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”
30 And he said to him, “I will not go, but I will depart to my own land and to my relatives.”
31 So Moses said, “Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can [e]be our (AH)eyes. 32 And it shall be, if you go with us—indeed it shall be—that (AI)whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same we will do to you.”
33 So they departed from (AJ)the mountain of the Lord on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord (AK)went before them for the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them. 34 And (AL)the cloud of the Lord was above them by day when they went out from the camp.
35 So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said:
(AM)“Rise up, O Lord!
Let Your enemies be scattered,
And let those who hate You flee before You.”
36 And when it rested, he said:
“Return, O Lord,
To the many thousands of Israel.”
