Numbers 10:29-32

Expanded Bible

²⁹ Hobab was the son of Reuel the Midianite, who was Moses’ father-in-law [^Calso called Jethro; Ex. 2:16]. Moses said to Hobab, “We are moving to the land the Lord promised to give us. Come with us and we will be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

³⁰ But Hobab answered, “No, I will not go. I will go back to my own land where I was born.”

³¹ But Moses said, “Please don’t ·leave [abandon; forsake] us. You know where we can camp in the ·desert [wilderness], and you can be our ·guide [^Leyes]. ³² Come with us. We will share with you all the good things the Lord gives us.”
