33 (A)So they moved on from the mountain of the Lord three days’ journey, with (B)the ark of the covenant of the Lord going on in front of them for the [a]three days, to seek out (C)a resting place for them. 34 (D)And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said,

(E)Rise up, Lord!
And may Your enemies be scattered,
And those (F)who hate You flee from Your presence.”

36 And when it came to rest, he said,

(G)Return, Lord,
To the myriad (H)thousands of Israel.”

  1. Numbers 10:33 Lit three days’ journey

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[a] 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.”
