New King James Version

International Standard Version

1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

1The LORD also told Moses,

2“Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps.

2"Make two trumpets, crafting them from beaten silver, for use in calling the congregation together and for notifying the camps to set out for travel.

3When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

3Sound them when the whole assembly is to gather together at the entrance to the appointed place of meeting.

4But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.

4When one trumpet is blown, the elders and the heads of the thousands of the Israelis are to gather to you.

5When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey.

5When you sound an alarm, the ones encamped on the east side are to begin to travel.

6When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys.

6When you sound the alarm the second time, those encamped on the south are to begin to travel. Alarms are to be sounded for their travels.

7And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance.

7But when you blow the trumpet to assemble the whole congregation, don't use the same sound as you do for sounding an alarm.

8The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.

8The descendants of Aaron the priest are to blow the trumpets. Have them do this for you permanently throughout your generations to come."

9“When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

9"When you wage war in your land against an enemy who is hostile to you, you are to sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before the face of the LORD your God and you will be delivered from your enemies.

10Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God.”

10At the beginning of the month, during your time of rejoicing at the appointed place, sound the trumpet over your burnt offering, then sacrifice your peace offering, since they are to be your memorial before the LORD your God. I am the LORD your God."

11Now it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.

11On the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, the cloud was lifted up from the Tent of Meeting,

12And the children of Israel set out from the Wilderness of Sinai on their journeys; then the cloud settled down in the Wilderness of Paran.

12so the Israelis set out from the Sinai Wilderness until the cloud settled in the Paran Wilderness,

13So they started out for the first time according to the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

13doing what the LORD had said through Moses.

14The standard of the camp of the children of Judah set out first according to their armies; over their army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

14The standard of the camp of Judah was the first to travel, accompanied by its army with Amminadab's son Nahshon in charge.

15Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.

15Zuar's son Nethanel was in charge of the camp of Issachar.

16And over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

16Helon's son Eliab was in charge of the camp of Zebulun.

17Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle.

17The tent was taken down, and the descendants of Gershon and Merari carried the tent.

18And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their armies; over their army was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

18Then the standard of the camp of Reuben set out, accompanied by its army with Shedeur's son Elizur in charge.

19Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

19Zurishaddai's son Shelumiel was in charge of the tribe of Simeon.

20And over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

20Deuel's son Eliasaph was in charge of the tribe of Gad.

21Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things. (The tabernacle would be prepared for their arrival.)

21Then the descendants of Kohath, carrying the sanctuary, set out, since the tent was to be set up before they arrive.

22And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set out according to their armies; over their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.

22After this, the standard of the camp of Ephraim set out, accompanied by its army with Ammihud's son Elishama in charge.

23Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

23Pedazzur's son Gamaliel was in charge of the tribe of Manasseh.

24And over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

24Gideoni's son Abidan was in charge of the army of the tribe of Benjamin.

25Then the standard of the camp of the children of Dan (the rear guard of all the camps) set out according to their armies; over their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

25Then the standard of the camp of Dan set out, functioning as the rear guard for all the encampments, accompanied by its army with Ammishaddai's son Ahiezer.

26Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.

26Ochran's son Pagiel was in charge of the tribe of Asher.

27And over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

27Enan's son Ahira was in charge of the tribe of Naphtali.

28Thus was the order of march of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they began their journey.

28This was the travel order for the Israelis, whenever their companies traveled.

29Now Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well; for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

29Then Moses told Reuel's son Hobab, Moses' relative by marriage from Midian, "We are traveling to the place about which the LORD said 'I will give it to you.' So come with us and we'll be good to you, because the LORD has spoken good things about Israel."

30And he said to him, “I will not go, but I will depart to my own land and to my relatives.”

30But he said, "I won't go with you because I'm returning to my land and to my own family."

31So Moses said, “Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.

31Then Moses responded, "Please don't leave us now, since you know where we can camp in the wilderness. You could be our guide.

32And it shall be, if you go with us—indeed it shall be—that whatever good the LORD will do to us, the same we will do to you.”

32And when you come with us, the good things that the LORD will grant us, we'll give you as well."

33So they departed from the mountain of the LORD on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them for the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.

33So they traveled from the mountain of the LORD, a three-day trip, with the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD traveling in front of them—a three day trip to explore a place for them to rest.

34And the cloud of the LORD was above them by day when they went out from the camp.

34Moreover, the cloud of the LORD protected them during the day when they left their camp.

35So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said: “Rise up, O LORD! Let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You.”

35Whenever the ark was ready to travel, Moses would say: "Arise, LORD, to scatter your enemies, so that whoever hates you will flee from your presence."

36And when it rested, he said: “Return, O LORD, To the many thousands of Israel.”

36Whenever the ark was being readied to rest, he would say: "Return, LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel."
