Numbers 10:11-36
From Sinai to Paran
11 And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.
11:
12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
12:
13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
13:
14 In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host [was] Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
14:
15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar [was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
15:
16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun [was] Eliab the son of Helon.
16:
17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
17:
18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the son of Shedeur.
18:
19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon [was] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
19:
20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad [was] Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
20:
21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.
21:
22 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elishama the son of Ammihud.
22:
23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh [was] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
23:
24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin [was] Abidan the son of Gideoni.
24:
25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, [which was] the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
25:
26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher [was] Pagiel the son of Ocran.
26:
27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali [was] Ahira the son of Enan.
27:
28 Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
28:
29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
29:
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
30:
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
31:
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
32:
33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.
33:
34 And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
34:
35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
35:
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
36:
