1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
2 fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles
quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra
3 cumque increpueris tubis
congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium foederis tabernaculi
4 si semel clangueris venient ad te principes et capita multitudinis
Israhel
5 sin autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit
movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam
6 in secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubae
levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem
et iuxta hunc modum reliqui facient
ululantibus tubis in profectione
7 quando autem congregandus est populus
simplex tubarum clangor erit et non concise ululabunt
8 filii Aaron sacerdotes clangent tubis
eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris
9 si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra
contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos
clangetis ululantibus tubis
et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro
ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum
10 si quando habebitis epulum et dies festos et kalendas
canetis tubis super holocaustis et pacificis victimis
ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri ego Dominus Deus vester
11 anno secundo mense secundo vicesima die mensis
elevata est nubes de tabernaculo foederis
12 profectique sunt filii Israhel per turmas suas de deserto Sinai
et recubuit nubes in solitudine Pharan
13 moveruntque castra primi iuxta imperium Domini in manu Mosi
14 filii Iuda per turmas suas
quorum princeps erat Naasson filius Aminadab
15 in tribu filiorum Isachar fuit princeps Nathanahel filius Suar
16 in tribu Zabulon erat princeps Heliab filius Helon
17 depositumque est tabernaculum
quod portantes egressi sunt filii Gerson et Merari
18 profectique sunt et filii Ruben per turmas et ordinem suum
quorum princeps erat Helisur filius Sedeur
19 in tribu autem filiorum Symeon princeps fuit Salamihel filius Surisaddai
20 porro in tribu Gad erat princeps Heliasaph filius Duhel
21 profectique sunt et Caathitae portantes sanctuarium
tamdiu tabernaculum portabatur donec venirent ad erectionis locum
22 moverunt castra et filii Ephraim per turmas suas
in quorum exercitu princeps erat Helisama filius Ammiud
23 in tribu autem filiorum Manasse princeps fuit Gamalihel filius Phadassur
24 et in tribu Beniamin dux Abidan
filius Gedeonis
25 novissimi castrorum omnium profecti sunt filii Dan per turmas
suas
in quorum exercitu princeps fuit Ahiezer filius Amisaddai
26 in tribu autem filiorum Aser erat princeps Phagaihel filius Ochran
27 et in tribu filiorum Nepthalim princeps Achira
filius Henan
28 haec sunt castra et profectiones filiorum Israhel
per turmas suas quando egrediebantur
29 dixitque Moses Hobab filio Rahuhel Madianiti cognato suo
proficiscimur ad locum quem Dominus daturus est nobis
veni nobiscum ut benefaciamus tibi
quia Dominus bona promisit Israheli
30 cui ille respondit
non vadam tecum sed revertar in terram meam in qua natus sum
31 et ille noli inquit nos relinquere
tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus
et eris ductor noster
32 cumque nobiscum veneris
quicquid optimum fuerit ex opibus quas nobis traditurus est Dominus
dabimus tibi
33 profecti sunt ergo de monte Domini via trium dierum
arcaque foederis Domini praecedebat eos per dies tres
providens castrorum locum
34 nubes quoque Domini super eos erat per diem cum incederent
35 cumque elevaretur arca dicebat Moses
surge Domine et dissipentur inimici tui
et fugiant qui oderunt te a facie tua
36 cum autem deponeretur aiebat
revertere Domine ad multitudinem exercitus Israhel
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. 3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And if they blow but with one trumpet , then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. 5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. 8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations. 9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
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. 12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
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. 15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
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. 19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
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. 23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
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. 26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
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. 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 mayest be to us instead of eyes. 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.
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. 34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. 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. 36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
