Numbers 10
World English Bible
10 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation and for the journeying of the camps. 3 When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 4 If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. 5 When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward. 6 When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
8 “The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations. 9 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
10 “Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God. I am Yahweh your God.”
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 covenant. 12 The children of Israel went forward on their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud stayed in the wilderness of Paran. 13 They first went forward according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
14 First, the standard of the camp of the children of Judah went forward according to their armies. Nahshon the son of Amminadab was over his army. 15 Nethanel the son of Zuar was over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar. 16 Eliab the son of Helon was over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun. 17 The tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bore the tabernacle, went forward. 18 The standard of the camp of Reuben went forward according to their armies. Elizur the son of Shedeur was over his army. 19 Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai was over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon. 20 Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad.
21 The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary. The others set up the tabernacle before they arrived.
22 The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies. Elishama the son of Ammihud was over his army. 23 Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur was over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh. 24 Abidan the son of Gideoni was over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin.
25 The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rear guard of all the camps, set forward according to their armies. Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai was over his army. 26 Pagiel the son of Ochran was over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher. 27 Ahira the son of Enan was over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali. 28 Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to their armies; and they went forward.
29 Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel.”
30 He said to him, “I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives.”
31 Moses said, “Don’t leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes. 32 It shall be, if you go with us—yes, it shall be—that whatever good Yahweh does to us, we will do the same to you.”
33 They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days’ journey. The ark of Yahweh’s covenant went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them. 34 The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp. 35 When the ark went forward, Moses said, “Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you flee before you!” 36 When it rested, he said, “Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.”
Numbers 10
King James Version
10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord your God.
11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.
12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
14 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.
23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
33 And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
34 And the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, unto the many thousands of Israel.

Las trompetas
10 El Señor se dirigió a Moisés y le dijo:
2 — Hazte dos trompetas de plata labradas a martillo. Te servirán para convocar a la comunidad y para dar la orden de partida a los distintos campamentos. 3 Cuando las dos trompetas resuenen, toda la comunidad se reunirá ante ti a la entrada de la Tienda del encuentro; 4 si sólo resuena una, entonces se congregarán ante ti únicamente los jefes de los clanes de Israel. 5 Al primer toque agudo de trompeta se pondrán en movimiento los campamentos acampados al oriente. 6 Al segundo toque agudo, lo harán los acampados al sur. Los toques agudos indicarán que hay que emprender la marcha. 7 En cambio, para reunir la comunidad, los toques de trompeta no serán agudos. 8 Los sacerdotes descendientes de Aarón serán los encargados de tocar las trompetas. Esta será una norma perpetua, válida para todos vuestros descendientes.
9 Cuando ya estéis en vuestra tierra y tengáis que salir a la guerra contra un agresor que os ataque, haréis resonar las trompetas con toques agudos; el Señor, vuestro Dios, se acordará de vosotros y os veréis liberados de vuestros enemigos. 10 Y en vuestros días de fiesta, en las solemnidades y novilunios, tocaréis las trompetas en el momento de ofrecer vuestros holocaustos, y vuestros sacrificios de comunión. Eso servirá para que vuestro Dios se acuerde de vosotros. Yo soy el Señor, vuestro Dios.
DESDE SINAÍ A TRANSJORDANIA (10,11—25,19)
De Sinaí a Cadés (10,11—12,16)
Orden de marcha
11 En el año segundo, a los veinte días del segundo mes, la nube se levantó por encima de la Morada del testimonio 12 y los israelitas partieron en orden de marcha del desierto de Sinaí hasta que la nube se detuvo en el desierto de Parán.
13 Partieron por primera vez según lo había dispuesto el Señor por medio de Moisés. 14 Abría la marcha el estandarte del campamento de los descendientes de Judá por escuadrones. Al frente de sus tropas iba Naasón, hijo de Aminadab; 15 al frente de las tropas de la tribu de los descendientes de Isacar iba Natanael, hijo de Zuar; 16 y al frente de las tropas de la tribu de los descendientes de Zabulón iba Eliab, hijo de Jelón.
17 Luego, una vez desmontada la Morada, se pusieron en marcha los guersonitas y los meraritas, que eran los encargados de transportarla.
18 A continuación se puso en marcha el estandarte del campamento de Rubén por escuadrones; Elisur, hijo de Sedeur, iba al frente de sus tropas. 19 Al frente de las tropas de la tribu de los descendientes de Simeón iba Selumiel, hijo de Zurisaday; 20 y al frente de las tropas de la tribu de los descendientes de Gad iba Eliasaf, hijo de Deuel.
21 Seguidamente emprendieron la marcha los queatitas llevando los objetos sagrados; para cuando estos llegaban [a la próxima acampada], los otros ya habían montado la Morada.
22 Después emprendió la marcha el estandarte del campamento de los descendientes de Efraín por escuadrones; al frente de sus tropas iba Elisamá, hijo de Amihud. 23 Al frente de las tropas de los descendientes de la tribu de Manasés iba Gamaliel, hijo de Pedasur, 24 mientras Abidán, hijo de Guideoní, comandaba las tropas de la tribu de los descendientes de Benjamín.
25 Finalmente, a retaguardia de todos los campamentos, se puso en marcha el estandarte del campamento de los descendientes de Dan por escuadrones. Ajiezer, hijo de Amisaday, iba al frente de sus tropas. 26 Al frente de las tropas de la tribu de los descendientes de Aser iba Paguiel, hijo de Ocrán, 27 mientras Ajirá, hijo de Enán, iba al frente de las tropas de la tribu de los descendientes de Neftalí.
28 Este era el orden de partida cuando los israelitas se ponían en marcha por escuadrones.
El suegro de Moisés
29 Moisés dijo a su suegro Jobab del clan madianita de Ragüel:
— Nosotros partimos hacia la tierra que el Señor ha prometido darnos. Ven con nosotros y seremos generosos contigo, pues el Señor ha prometido ser generoso con Israel.
30 Pero Jobab le respondió:
— Yo no iré, sino que retornaré a mi tierra natal.
31 Moisés insistió:
— Te ruego que no nos dejes, pues tú conoces los lugares donde hemos de acampar en el desierto y podrás servirnos de guía. 32 Si vienes con nosotros, compartiremos contigo el bienestar que el Señor nos depare.
33 Marcharon, pues, del monte del Señor e hicieron tres jornadas de camino. El Arca de la alianza del Señor los acompañó durante los tres días de camino, buscándoles un lugar donde acampar; 34 por su parte, desde que salieron del campamento, la nube del Señor no dejaba de acompañarlos durante el día.
35 Cuando el Arca se ponía en marcha, Moisés decía:
— ¡Ponte, Señor, en acción!
Que sean dispersados tus enemigos
y huyan de tu presencia los que te aborrecen.
36 Y cuando el Arca se detenía, decía Moisés:
— ¡Mira con benevolencia, Señor,
a los incontables ejércitos de Israel!
Numbers 10
Living Bible
10 1-2 Now the Lord said to Moses, “Make two trumpets of beaten silver to be used for summoning the people to assemble and for signaling the breaking of camp. 3 When both trumpets are blown, the people will know that they are to gather at the entrance of the Tabernacle. 4 But if only one is blown, then only the chiefs of the tribes of Israel shall come to you.
5-7 “Different trumpet blasts will be necessary to distinguish between the summons to assemble and the signal to break camp and move onward.[a] When the travel signal is blown, the tribes camped on the east side of the Tabernacle shall leave first; at the second signal, the tribes on the south shall go. 8 Only the priests are permitted to blow the trumpets. This is a permanent instruction to be followed from generation to generation.
9 “When you arrive in the Promised Land and go to war against your enemies, God will hear you and save you from your enemies when you sound the alarm with these trumpets. 10 Use the trumpets in times of gladness, too, blowing them at your annual festivals and at the beginning of each month to rejoice over your burnt offerings and peace offerings. And God will be reminded of his covenant with you. For I am Jehovah, your God.”
11 The Cloud lifted from the Tabernacle on the twentieth day of the second month[b] of the second year of Israel’s leaving Egypt; 12 so the Israelites left the wilderness of Sinai, and followed the Cloud until it stopped in the wilderness of Paran. 13 This was their first journey after having received the Lord’s travel instructions to Moses.
14 At the head of the march was the tribe of Judah grouped behind its flag and led by Nahshon, the son of Amminadab. 15 Next came the tribe of Issachar, led by Nethanel, the son of Zuar, 16 and the tribe of Zebulun, led by Eliab, the son of Helon.
17 The Tabernacle was taken down and the men of the Gershon and Merari divisions of the tribe of Levi were next in the line of march, carrying the Tabernacle upon their shoulders. 18 Then came the flag of the camp of Reuben, with Elizur the son of Shedeur leading his people. 19 Next was the tribe of Simeon headed by Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai; 20 and the tribe of Gad led by Eliasaph, the son of Deuel.
21 Next came the Kohathites carrying the items from the inner sanctuary. (The Tabernacle was already erected in its new location by the time they arrived.) 22 Next in line was the tribe of Ephraim behind its flag, led by Elishama, the son of Ammihud; 23 and the tribe of Manasseh led by Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 24 and the tribe of Benjamin, led by Abidan the son of Gideoni. 25 Last of all were the tribes headed by the flag of the tribe of Dan under the leadership of Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai; 26 the tribe of Asher, led by Pagiel, the son of Ochran; 27 and the tribe of Naphtali, led by Ahira, the son of Enan. 28 That was the order in which the tribes traveled.
29 One day Moses said to his brother-in-law, Hobab (son of Reuel, the Midianite), “At last we are on our way to the Promised Land. Come with us and we will do you good; for the Lord has given wonderful promises to Israel!”
30 But his brother-in-law replied, “No, I must return to my own land and kinfolk.”
31 “Stay with us,” Moses pleaded, “for you know the ways of the wilderness and will be a great help to us.[c] 32 If you come, you will share in all the good things the Lord does for us.”
33 They traveled for three days after leaving Mount Sinai,[d] with the Ark at the front of the column to choose a place for them to stop. 34 It was daytime when they left, with the Cloud moving along ahead of them as they began their march. 35 As the Ark was carried forward, Moses cried out, “Arise, O Lord, and scatter your enemies; let them flee before you.” 36 And when the Ark was set down he said, “Return, O Lord, to the millions of Israel.”
