The Silver Trumpets

10 The Lord told Moses to make two trumpets of hammered silver and to use them in this way:

You will use them to summon the community and to have the camp set out.

When they blow both trumpets, the entire community will gather to you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. If they blow just one trumpet, then the tribal chiefs, the heads of the Israelite clans, will gather to you.

When you blow the signal on the trumpets, the camps that are on the east side will set out. When you blow the signal a second time, the camps that are on the south side will set out. This will be the signal to set out.

When the community is to gather, you will blow the trumpets, but you will not sound the signal for setting out.

Aaron’s sons, the priests, will blow the trumpets. This will be a permanent regulation for you and for your descendants. When you go out into battle in your own land against an adversary who attacks you, you will sound the signal with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

10 Also at the times when you rejoice, at your appointed festivals and at the New Moon, you will blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your fellowship offerings. They will serve as a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.

The Israelites Leave Sinai

11 On the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, the cloud lifted up above the Dwelling of the Testimony. 12 The Israelites set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sinai. The cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran. 13 For the first time, they set out according to the command of the Lord through Moses.

14 First, the standard for the camp of Judah’s descendants set out according to their military units. Nahshon son of Amminadab was over Judah’s unit. 15 Nethanel son of Zuar was over the unit for the tribe of Issachar’s descendants. 16 Eliab son of Helon was over the unit for the tribe of Zebulun’s descendants.

17 The Dwelling was then taken down. The sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the Dwelling.

18 The standard for the camp of Reuben set out according to their military units. Elizur son of Shedeur was over Reuben’s unit. 19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the unit for the tribe of Simeon’s descendants. 20 Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the unit for the tribe of Gad’s descendants.

21 The Kohathites then set out, carrying the holy things. The others would set up the Dwelling before they arrived.

22 The standard for the camp of Ephraim’s descendants set out according to their military units. Elishama son of Ammihud was over Ephraim’s unit. 23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the unit for the tribe of Manasseh’s descendants. 24 Abidan son of Gideoni was over the unit for the tribe of Benjamin’s descendants.

25 The standard for the camp of Dan’s descendants, serving as the rear guard for the entire camp, set out according to their military units. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was over Dan’s unit. 26 Pagiel son of Ochran was over the unit for the tribe of Asher’s descendants. 27 Ahira son of Enan was over the unit for the tribe of Naphtali’s descendants.

28 This was the marching order for the Israelites, according to their military units. This is how they set out.

29 Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out to the place about which the Lord promised, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good concerning Israel.”

30 Hobab said to him, “I will not go, but I will go to my own land and to my own relatives.”

31 Moses said, “Please do not leave us, because you know where we should camp in the wilderness. You can be our eyes. 32 If you will go with us, whatever good the Lord does for us, we will do for you.”

33 They set out from the mountain of the Lord on a three-day journey. The Ark of the Lord’s Covenant set out before them for that three-day journey to find a resting place for them. 34 The cloud of the Lord was over them by day, when they set out from the camp.

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O Lord, and may your enemies be scattered! May those who hate you flee before you!” 36 When it came to rest, he would say, “Return, O Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel!”

10 Y JEHOVA habló á Moisés, diciendo:

Hazte dos trompetas de plata; de obra de martillo las harás, las cuales te servirán para convocar la congregación, y para hacer mover el campo.

Y cuando las tocaren, toda la congregación se juntará á ti á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

Mas cuando tocaren sólo la una, entonces se congregarán á ti los príncipes, las cabezas de los millares de Israel.

Y cuando tocareis alarma, entonces moverán el campo de los que están alojados al oriente.

Y cuando tocareis alarma la segunda vez, entonces moverán el campo de los que están alojados al mediodía: alarma tocarán á sus partidas.

Empero cuando hubiereis de juntar la congregación, tocaréis, mas no con sonido de alarma.

Y los hijos de Aarón, los sacerdotes, tocarán las trompetas; y las tendréis por estatuto perpetuo por vuestras generaciones.

Y cuando viniereis á la guerra en vuestra tierra contra el enemigo que os molestare, tocaréis alarma con las trompetas: y seréis en memoria delante de Jehová vuestro Dios, y seréis salvos de vuestros enemigos.

10 Y en el día de vuestra alegría, y en vuestras solemnidades, y en los principios de vuestros meses, tocaréis las trompetas sobre vuestros holocaustos, y sobre los sacrificios de vuestras paces, y os serán por memoria delante de vuestro Dios: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.

11 Y fué en el año segundo, en el mes segundo, á los veinte del mes, que la nube se alzó del tabernáculo del testimonio.

12 Y movieron los hijos de Israel por sus partidas del desierto de Sinaí; y paró la nube en el desierto de Parán.

13 Y movieron la primera vez al dicho de Jehová por mano de Moisés.

14 Y la bandera del campo de los hijos de Judá comenzó á marchar primero, por sus escuadrones: y Naasón, hijo de Aminadab, era sobre su ejército.

15 Y sobre el ejército de la tribu de los hijos de Issachâr, Nathanael hijo de Suar.

16 Y sobre el ejército de la tribu de los hijos de Zabulón, Eliab hijo de Helón.

17 Y después que estaba ya desarmado el tabernáculo, movieron los hijos de Gersón y los hijos de Merari, que lo llevaban.

18 Luego comenzó á marchar la bandera del campo de Rubén por sus escuadrones: y Elisur, hijo de Sedeur, era sobre su ejército.

19 Y sobre el ejército de la tribu de los hijos de Simeón, Selumiel hijo de Zurisaddai.

20 Y sobre el ejército de la tribu de los hijos de Gad, Eliasaph hijo de Dehuel.

21 Luego comenzaron á marchar los Coathitas llevando el santuario; y entre tanto que ellos llegaban, los otros acondicionaron el tabernáculo.

22 Después comenzó á marchar la bandera del campo de los hijos de Ephraim por sus escuadrones: y Elisama, hijo de Ammiud, era sobre su ejército.

23 Y sobre el ejército de la tribu de los hijos de Manasés, Gamaliel hijo de Pedasur.

24 Y sobre el ejército de la tribu de los hijos de Benjamín, Abidán hijo de Gedeón.

25 Luego comenzó á marchar la bandera del campo de los hijos de Dan por sus escuadrones, recogiendo todos los campos: y Ahiezer, hijo de Ammisaddai, era sobre su ejército.

26 Y sobre el ejército de la tribu de los hijos de Aser, Pagiel hijo de Ocrán.

27 Y sobre el ejército de la tribu de los hijos de Nephtalí, Ahira hijo de Enán.

28 Estas son las partidas de los hijos de Israel por sus ejércitos, cuando se movían.

29 Entonces dijo Moisés á Hobab, hijo de Ragüel Madianita, su suegro: Nosotros nos partimos para el lugar del cual Jehová ha dicho: Yo os lo daré. Ven con nosotros, y te haremos bien: porque Jehová ha hablado bien respecto á Israel.

30 Y él le respondió: Yo no iré, sino que me marcharé á mi tierra y á mi parentela.

31 Y él le dijo: Ruégote que no nos dejes; porque tú sabes nuestros alojamientos en el desierto, y nos serás en lugar de ojos.

32 Y será, que si vinieres con nosotros, cuando tuviéremos el bien que Jehová nos ha de hacer, nosotros te haremos bien.

33 Así partieron del monte de Jehová, camino de tres días; y el arca de la alianza de Jehová fué delante de ellos camino de tres días, buscándoles lugar de descanso.

34 Y la nube de Jehová iba sobre ellos de día, desde que partieron del campo.

35 Y fué, que en moviendo el arca, Moisés decía: Levántate, Jehová, y sean disipados tus enemigos, y huyan de tu presencia los que te aborrecen.

36 Y cuando ella asentaba, decía: Vuelve, Jehová, á los millares de millares de Israel.

The Silver Trumpets

10 The Lord said to Moses: “Make two trumpets(A) of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community(B) together and for having the camps set out.(C) When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. If only one is sounded, the leaders(D)—the heads of the clans of Israel—are to assemble before you. When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.(E) 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. To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets,(G) but not with the signal for setting out.(H)

“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) 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,

“Rise up,(BH) Lord!
    May your enemies be scattered;(BI)
    may your foes flee before you.(BJ)(BK)

36 Whenever it came to rest, he said,

“Return,(BL) Lord,
    to the countless thousands of Israel.(BM)
