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.”
