The Silver Trumpets
10 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Make two silver trumpets; of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation, and for breaking camp. 3 And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 4 But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. 5 When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out. 6 And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out. 7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm. 8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. 9 And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. 10 On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts, and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; they shall serve you for remembrance before your God: I am the Lord your God.”
Departure from Sinai
11 In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony, 12 and the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran. 13 They set out for the first time at the command of the Lord by Moses. 14 The standard of the camp of the men of Judah set out first by their companies; and over their host was Nahshon the son of Ammin′adab. 15 And over the host of the tribe of the men of Is′sachar was Nethan′el the son of Zu′ar. 16 And over the host of the tribe of the men of Zeb′ulun was Eli′ab the son of Helon.
17 And when the tabernacle was taken down, the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merar′i, who carried the tabernacle, set out. 18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out by their companies; and over their host was Eli′zur the son of Shed′eur. 19 And over the host of the tribe of the men of Simeon was Shelu′mi-el the son of Zurishad′dai. 20 And over the host of the tribe of the men of Gad was Eli′asaph the son of Deu′el.
21 Then the Ko′hathites set out, carrying the holy things, and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival. 22 And the standard of the camp of the men of E′phraim set out by their companies; and over their host was Elish′ama the son of Ammi′hud. 23 And over the host of the tribe of the men of Manas′seh was Gama′liel the son of Pedah′zur. 24 And over the host of the tribe of the men of Benjamin was Abi′dan the son of Gideo′ni.
25 Then the standard of the camp of the men of Dan, acting as the rear guard of all the camps, set out by their companies; and over their host was Ahi-e′zer the son of Ammishad′dai. 26 And over the host of the tribe of the men of Asher was Pa′giel the son of Ochran. 27 And over the host of the tribe of the men of Naph′tali was Ahi′ra the son of Enan. 28 This was the order of march of the people of Israel according to their hosts, when they set out.
29 And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reu′el the Mid′ianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, ‘I will give it to you’; come with us, and we will do you good; for the Lord has promised good to Israel.” 30 But he said to him, “I will not go; I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.” 31 And he said, “Do not leave us, I pray you, for you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us. 32 And if you go with us, whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same will we do to you.”
33 So they set out from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them. 34 And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp.
35 And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Arise, O Lord, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.” 36 And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”

10 L'Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:
2 Fais-toi deux trompettes d'argent; tu les feras d'argent battu. Elles te serviront pour la convocation de l'assemblée et pour le départ des camps.
3 Quand on en sonnera, toute l'assemblée se réunira auprès de toi, à l'entrée de la tente d'assignation.
4 Si l'on ne sonne que d'une trompette, les princes, les chefs des milliers d'Israël, se réuniront auprès de toi.
5 Quand vous sonnerez avec éclat, ceux qui campent à l'orient partiront;
6 quand vous sonnerez avec éclat pour la seconde fois, ceux qui campent au midi partiront: on sonnera avec éclat pour leur départ.
7 Vous sonnerez aussi pour convoquer l'assemblée, mais vous ne sonnerez pas avec éclat.
8 Les fils d'Aaron, les sacrificateurs, sonneront des trompettes. Ce sera une loi perpétuelle pour vous et pour vos descendants.
9 Lorsque, dans votre pays, vous irez à la guerre contre l'ennemi qui vous combattra, vous sonnerez des trompettes avec éclat, et vous serez présents au souvenir de l'Éternel, votre Dieu, et vous serez délivrés de vos ennemis.
10 Dans vos jours de joie, dans vos fêtes, et à vos nouvelles lunes, vous sonnerez des trompettes, en offrant vos holocaustes et vos sacrifices d'actions de grâces, et elles vous mettront en souvenir devant votre Dieu. Je suis l'Éternel, votre Dieu.
11 Le vingtième jour du second mois de la seconde année, la nuée s'éleva de dessus le tabernacle du témoignage.
12 Et les enfants d'Israël partirent du désert de Sinaï, selon l'ordre fixé pour leur marche. La nuée s'arrêta dans le désert de Paran.
13 Ils firent ce premier départ sur l'ordre de l'Éternel par Moïse.
14 La bannière du camp des fils de Juda partit la première, avec ses corps d'armée. Le corps d'armée de Juda était commandé par Nachschon, fils d'Amminadab;
15 le corps d'armée de la tribu des fils d'Issacar, par Nethaneel, fils de Tsuar;
16 le corps d'armée de la tribu des fils de Zabulon, par Éliab, fils de Hélon.
17 Le tabernacle fut démonté; et les fils de Guerschon et les fils de Merari partirent, portant le tabernacle.
18 La bannière du camp de Ruben partit, avec ses corps d'armée. Le corps d'armée de Ruben était commandé par Élitsur, fils de Schedéur;
19 le corps d'armée de la tribu des fils de Siméon, par Schelumiel, fils de Tsurischaddaï;
20 le corps d'armée de la tribu des fils de Gad, par Éliasaph, fils de Déuel.
21 Les Kehathites partirent, portant le sanctuaire; et l'on dressait le tabernacle en attendant leur arrivée.
22 La bannière du camp des fils d'Éphraïm partit, avec ses corps d'armée. Le corps d'armée d'Éphraïm était commandé par Élischama, fils d'Ammihud;
23 le corps d'armée de la tribu des fils de Manassé, par Gamliel, fils de Pedahtsur;
24 le corps d'armée de la tribu des fils de Benjamin, par Abidan, fils de Guideoni.
25 La bannière du camp des fils de Dan partit, avec ses corps d'armée: elle formait l'arrière-garde de tous les camps. Le corps d'armée de Dan était commandé par Ahiézer, fils d'Ammischaddaï;
26 le corps d'armée de la tribu des fils d'Aser, par Paguiel, fils d'Ocran;
27 le corps d'armée de la tribu des fils de Nephthali, par Ahira, fils d'Énan.
28 Tel fut l'ordre d'après lequel les enfants d'Israël se mirent en marche selon leur corps d'armée; et c'est ainsi qu'ils partirent.
29 Moïse dit à Hobab, fils de Réuel, le Madianite, beau-père de Moïse: Nous partons pour le lieu dont l'Éternel a dit: Je vous le donnerai. Viens avec nous, et nous te ferons du bien, car l'Éternel a promis de faire du bien à Israël.
30 Hobab lui répondit: Je n'irai point; mais j'irai dans mon pays et dans ma patrie.
31 Et Moïse dit: Ne nous quitte pas, je te prie; puisque tu connais les lieux où nous campons dans le désert, tu nous serviras de guide.
32 Et si tu viens avec nous, nous te ferons jouir du bien que l'Éternel nous fera.
33 Ils partirent de la montagne de l'Éternel, et marchèrent trois jours; l'arche de l'alliance de l'Éternel partit devant eux, et fit une marche de trois jours, pour leur chercher un lieu de repos.
34 La nuée de l'Éternel était au-dessus d'eux pendant le jour, lorsqu'ils partaient du camp.
35 Quand l'arche partait, Moïse disait: Lève-toi, Éternel! et que tes ennemis soient dispersés! que ceux qui te haïssent fuient devant ta face!
36 Et quand on la posait, il disait: Reviens, Éternel, aux myriades des milliers d'Israël!

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,
