Numbers 10 |
|
| 10:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
| 10:2
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. |
|
| 10:3
And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. |
|
| 10:4
And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads
of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. |
|
| 10:5
When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go
forward. |
|
| 10:6
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. |
|
| 10:7
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but
ye shall not sound an alarm. |
|
| 10:8
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. |
|
| 10:9
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. |
(10:9) "And if ye go to war ... ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets ... and ye shall be saved from your enemies."
|
| 10:10
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. |
|
| 10:11
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. |
(10:11-12)
"The cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle ... and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran."

|
| 10:12
And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of
Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

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. |
(10:29) "Hobab ... Moses' father in law"
Who was Moses' father-in-law?
|
| 10:30
And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land,
and to my kindred. |
|
| 10:31
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. |
|
| 10:32
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. |
|

camp."

LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee
before thee.

Israel.
