Lexham English Bible
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[a] because Yahweh promised[b] 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[c] said, “Please, do not abandon us because you know our encampment in the desert, and you should be our guide.[d] 32 Moreover, if you go with us, the good that Yahweh will do to us we will do to you.”

American Standard Version
29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying unto the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for Jehovah 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 shalt be to us instead of eyes. 32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever Jehovah shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
