制造银号

10 耶和华对摩西说: “你要用银子作两枝号,要锤出来的,可以用来召集会众,也可以叫会众拔营起行。 吹号的时候,全体会众都要到你那里,聚集在会幕的门口。 如果单吹一枝,众领袖,就是以色列的族长,都要到你那里聚集。 你们吹大声的时候,那在东边的营,都要起行。 你们第二次吹大声的时候,那在南边的营,都要起行;他们要起行,必须吹大声。 但召集会众的时候,你们要吹号,却不要吹大声。 亚伦的子孙作祭司的要作吹号的;这要作你们世世代代永远的条例。 你们在本地与欺压你们的仇敌作战的时候,就要吹大声,使你们在耶和华你们的 神面前得蒙记念,也得拯救脱离你们的仇敌。 10 此外,在你们快乐的日子和指定的节期,以及月朔,你们献燔祭和平安祭的时候,也要吹号,这都要在你们的 神面前替你们作为记念;我是耶和华你们的 神。”

由西奈起程之次序

11 第二年二月二十日,云彩从法柜的帐幕收上去的时候, 12 以色列人就从西奈旷野按站起行;云彩在巴兰旷野停住了。 13 这是他们第一次照着耶和华藉摩西吩咐他们的起程。 14 犹大营的旗号,按着他们的队伍,首先起行;统领队伍的,是亚米拿达的儿子拿顺。 15 统领以萨迦支派队伍的,是苏押的儿子拿坦业。 16 统领西布伦支派队伍的,是希伦的儿子以利押。

17 帐幕拆下来以后,革顺的子孙和米拉利的子孙,就抬着帐幕起行。 18 流本营的旗号,按着他们的队伍起行;统领队伍的,是示丢珥的儿子以利蓿。 19 统领西缅支派的,是苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑。 20 统领迦得支派队伍的,是丢珥的儿子以利雅萨。

21 哥辖人抬着圣物起行;他们到达之前,人已经把帐幕竖立起来。 22 以法莲营的旗号,按着他们的队伍起行;统领队伍的,是亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛。 23 统领玛拿西支派队伍的,是比大蓿的儿子迦玛列。 24 统领便雅悯支派队伍的,是基多尼的儿子亚比但。

25 但营的旗号,作众营的后队,按着他们的队伍起行;统领队伍的,是亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢。 26 统领亚设支派队伍的,是俄兰的儿子帕结。 27 统领拿弗他利支派队伍的,是以南的儿子亚希拉。 28 这是以色列人起行的时候,按着他们的队伍起行的次序。

29 摩西对自己的岳父米甸人流珥的儿子何巴说:“我们要起行到耶和华应许的地方去,他曾说:‘我要把那地赐给你们’,现在求你与我们同去,我们必善待你,因为耶和华对以色列已经应许福乐。” 30 何巴对摩西说:“我不去,我要归回我本地本族那里去。” 31 摩西说:“求你不要离开我们,因为你知道我们应怎样在旷野安营,你可以作我们的眼目。 32 如果你与我们同去,将来耶和华用甚么好处待我们,我们也必用甚么好处待你。”

33 以色列人从耶和华的山起行,行了三天的路程,耶和华的约柜在他们前面行了三天的路程,为他们寻找安息的地方。 34 他们拔营起行的时候,日间总有耶和华的云彩在他们上头。

35 约柜起行的时候,摩西就说:

“耶和华啊,求你起来,

愿你的仇敌四散;

愿恨你的人从你面前逃跑。”

36 约柜停住的时候,他就说:

“耶和华啊,求你归来,

回到以色列的千万人中。”

The Silver Trumpets

10 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Make yourself two silver trumpets; make them of hammered-work. You will use them[a] for calling the community and for breaking the camp. You will blow them, and all the community will assemble to the doorway of the tent of assembly. But if they blow only one, the leaders, the heads of the thousands of Israel, will assemble to you. When you will blow a blast, the camps that are camping on the east will set out; when you blow a second blast, the camps that are camping on the south will set out; they will blow a blast for their journeys. But when summoning the assembly, you will blow, but you will not signal with a loud noise. The sons of Aaron, the priests, will blow on the trumpets; this will be an eternal decree for your generations. If you go to war in your land against the enemy who attacks you, you will signal with a loud noise on the trumpets. You will be remembered before[b] Yahweh your God, and you will be rescued from your enemies.

10 “And on the day of your joy and in your appointed times, at the beginning of your months, you will blow on the trumpets in addition to your burnt offerings and in addition to the sacrifices of your fellowship offerings. And they will be as a memorial for you before[c] your God; I am Yahweh your God.”

The Israelites Depart from Sinai

11 And it happened, in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month the cloud was lifted from upon the tabernacle of the testimony.[d] 12 And the Israelites[e] set out for their journey[f] from the desert of Sinai, and the cloud dwelled in the desert of Paran. 13 They set out for the first time[g] on the command of Yahweh in the hand of Moses.[h] 14 The standard of the camp of the descendants[i] of Judah set out for the first time according to their divisions, with Nahshon son of Amminadab over its division. 15 And Nathanel son of Zuar was over the division of the descendants[j] of Issachar; 16 Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of the descendants[k] of Zebulun.

17 The tabernacle was taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, the bearers of the tabernacle, set out. 18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their divisions; Elizur son of Shedeur was over their division. 19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the sons of the tribe of Simeon. 20 Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of the descendants[l] of Gad.

21 The Kohathites, the bearers of the sanctuary, set out, and they set up the tabernacle before they arrived. 22 And the stand of the camp of the descendants[m] of Ephraim set out according to their divisions; Elishama son of Ammihud was over its division. 23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of the descendants[n] of Manasseh. 24 Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of the descendants[o] of Benjamin.

25 Then the standard of the camp of the descendants[p] of Dan, who formed a rear guard for all the camps, set out according to their divisions; Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was over its division. 26 Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of the descendants[q] of Asher. 27 Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of the descendants[r] of Naphtali. 28 These were the departures of the Israelites[s] according to their divisions; and so they set out.

29 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, the father-in-law of Moses, “We are setting out to the place that Yahweh said, ‘I will give it to you’; go with us, and we will treat you well[t] because Yahweh promised[u] good concerning Israel.” 30 But he said to him, “I will not go. I will only go to my land and to my family.” 31 He[v] said, “Please, do not abandon us because you know our encampment in the desert, and you should be our guide.[w] 32 Moreover, if you go with us, the good that Yahweh will do to us we will do to you.”

33 And so they set out from the mountain of Yahweh a journey of three days, with the ark of the covenant of Yahweh setting out ahead of them[x] three days’ journey to search out a resting place for them; 34 and the cloud of Yahweh was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 And whenever the ark was setting out Moses would say,

“Rise up, Yahweh!
May your enemies be scattered;
may the ones that hate you flee from your presence.”
36 And when it rested he would say,
“Return, Yahweh,
to the countless thousands of Israel.”
