Numbers 10:29-32
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.”

Holman Christian Standard Bible
29 Moses said to Hobab, son of Moses’ father-in-law[a] Reuel[b](A) the Midianite: “We’re setting out for the place the Lord promised: ‘I will give it to you.’(B) Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”(C)
30 But he replied to him, “I don’t want to go. Instead, I will go to my own land and my relatives.”
31 “Please don’t leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes. 32 If you come with us, whatever good the Lord does for us we will do for you.”(D)
