The Silver Trumpets

10 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Make two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall use them for (A)summoning the congregation and for breaking camp. And when (B)both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. But if they blow only one, then (C)the chiefs, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. When you blow an alarm, (D)the camps that are on the east side shall set out. And when you blow an alarm the second time, (E)the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out. But when the assembly is to be gathered together, (F)you shall blow a long blast, but you shall not (G)sound an alarm. (H)And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. And (I)when you go to war in your land against the adversary who (J)oppresses you, then you shall (K)sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be (L)remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. 10 (M)On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and (N)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 be (O)a reminder of you before your God: I am the Lord your God.”

Israel Leaves Sinai

11 In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, (P)the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony, 12 and the people of Israel (Q)set out by stages from the (R)wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the (S)wilderness of Paran. 13 They set out for the first time (T)at the command of the Lord by Moses. 14 The standard of the camp of the people of Judah set out (U)first by their companies, and over their company was (V)Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

17 And when (W)the tabernacle was taken down, the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, (X)who carried the tabernacle, set out. 18 And (Y)the standard of the camp of Reuben set out by their companies, and over their company was (Z)Elizur the son of Shedeur. 19 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Simeon was (AA)Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Gad was (AB)Eliasaph the son of (AC)Deuel.

21 Then the Kohathites set out, (AD)carrying the holy things, and (AE)the tabernacle was set up before their arrival. 22 And (AF)the standard of the camp of the people of Ephraim set out by their companies, and over their company was (AG)Elishama the son of Ammihud. 23 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Manasseh was (AH)Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Benjamin was (AI)Abidan the son of Gideoni.

25 Then (AJ)the standard of the camp of the people of Dan, acting as the (AK)rear guard of all the camps, set out by their companies, and over their company was (AL)Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Asher was (AM)Pagiel the son of Ochran. 27 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Naphtali was (AN)Ahira the son of Enan. 28 (AO)This was the order of march of the people of Israel by their companies, when they set out.

29 And Moses said to Hobab the son of (AP)Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, (AQ)‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do good to you, for (AR)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, “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will serve (AS)as eyes for us. 32 And if you do go with us, (AT)whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same will we do to you.”

33 So they set out from (AU)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 (AV)a resting place for them. 34 (AW)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, (AX)“Arise, O Lord, and 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 ten thousand thousands of Israel.”

10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

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.

And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

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.

But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

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.

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.

10 Och HERREN talade till Mose och sade:

»Gör dig två trumpeter av silver; i drivet arbete skall du göra dem. Dessa skall du bruka, när menigheten skall sammankallas, och när lägren skola bryta upp.

När man stöter i dem båda, skall hela menigheten församla sig till dig, vid ingången till uppenbarelsetältet.

Men när man stöter allenast i den ena, skola hövdingarna, huvudmännen för Israels ätter, församla sig till dig.

Och när I blåsen en larmsignal, skola de läger bryta upp, som ligga österut.

Men när I blåsen larmsignal för andra gången, skola de läger bryta upp, som ligga söderut. När lägren skola bryta upp, skall man blåsa larmsignal,

men när församlingen skall sammankallas, skolen I icke blåsa larmsignal, utan stöta i trumpeterna.

Och Arons söner, prästerna, äro de som skola blåsa i trumpeterna. Detta skall vara en evärdlig stadga för eder från släkte till släkte.

Och om I, i edert land, dragen ut till strid mot någon eder ovän som angriper eder, så skolen I blåsa larmsignal med trumpeterna; härigenom skolen I då bringas i åminnelse inför HERRENS, eder Guds, ansikte, och I skolen så bliva frälsta ifrån edra fiender.

10 Och när I haven en glädjedag och haven edra högtider och nymånader, skolen I stöta i trumpeterna, då I offren edra brännoffer och tackoffer; så skola de bringa eder i åminnelse inför eder Guds ansikte. Jag är HERREN, eder Gud.»

11 I andra året, i andra månaden, på tjugonde dagen i månaden höjde sig molnskyn från vittnesbördets tabernakel.

12 Då bröto Israels barn upp från Sinais öken och tågade från lägerplats till lägerplats; och molnskyn stannade i öknen Paran.

13 Och när de nu första gången bröto upp, efter HERRENS befallning genom Mose,

14 var Juda barns läger under sitt baner det första som bröt upp, häravdelning efter häravdelning; och anförare för denna här var Naheson, Amminadabs son.

15 Och anförare för den här som utgjordes av Isaskars barns stam var Netanel, Suars son.

16 Och anförare för den här som utgjordes av Sebulons barns stam var Eliab, Helons son.

17 Därefter, sedan tabernaklet hade blivit nedtaget, bröto Gersons barn och Meraris barn upp och buro tabernaklet.

18 Därefter bröt Rubens läger upp under sitt baner, häravdelning efter häravdelning; och anförare för denna här var Elisur, Sedeurs son.

19 Och anförare för den här som utgjordes av Simeons barns stam var Selumiel, Surisaddais son.

20 Och anförare för den här som utgjordes av Gads barns stam var Eljasaf, Deguels son.

21 Därefter bröto kehatiterna upp och buro de heliga tingen, och de andra satte upp tabernaklet, innan dessa hunno fram.

22 Därefter bröt Efraims barns läger upp under sitt baner, häravdelning efter häravdelning; och anförare för denna här var Elisama, Ammihuds son.

23 Och anförare för den här som utgjordes av Manasse barns stam var Gamliel, Pedasurs son.

24 Och anförare for den här som utgjordes av Benjamins barns stam var Abidan, Gideonis son.

25 Därefter bröt Dans barns läger upp under sitt baner, såsom eftertrupp i hela lägertåget, häravdelning efter häravdelning; och anförare för denna här var Ahieser, Ammisaddais son.

26 Och anförare för den här som utgjordes av Asers barns stam var Pagiel, Okrans son.

27 Och anförare för den här som utgjordes av Naftali barns stam var Ahira, Enans son.

28 I denna ordning bröto Israels barn upp, häravdelning efter häravdelning. Och de bröto nu upp.

29 Och Mose sade till Hobab, som var son till midjaniten Reguel, Moses svärfader: »Vi bryta nu upp och tåga till det land om vilket HERREN har sagt: 'Det vill jag giva eder.' Följ du med oss, så vilja vi göra dig gott, ty HERREN har lovat Israel vad gott är.

30 Men han svarade honom: »Jag vill icke följa med, utan jag vill gå hem till mitt land och till min släkt.»

31 Då sade han: »Ack nej, övergiv oss icke. Du vet ju bäst var vi kunna lägra oss i öknen; bliv du därför nu vårt öga.

32 Om du följer med oss, skola vi låta också dig få gott av det goda som HERREN gör mot oss.

33 Så bröto de upp och tågade från HERRENS berg tre dagsresor. Och HERRENS förbundsark gick framför dem tre dagsresor, för att utse viloplats åt dem.

34 Och HERRENS molnsky svävade över dem om dagen, när de bröto upp från sitt lägerställe.

35 Och så ofta arken bröt upp, sade Mose: »Stå upp, HERRE; må dina fiender varda förskingrade, och må de som hata dig fly för ditt ansikte.»

36 Och när den sattes ned, sade han: »Kom tillbaka, HERRE, till Israels ätters mångtusenden.»

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)
