1Then the LORD said to Moses,

1וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

2“Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.

2עֲשֵׂ֣ה לְךָ֗ שְׁתֵּי֙ חֲצֽוֹצְרֹ֣ת כֶּ֔סֶף מִקְשָׁ֖ה תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה אֹתָ֑ם וְהָי֤וּ לְךָ֙ לְמִקְרָ֣א הָֽעֵדָ֔ה וּלְמַסַּ֖ע אֶת־ הַֽמַּחֲנֽוֹת׃

3When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

3וְתָקְע֖וּ בָּהֵ֑ן וְנֽוֹעֲד֤וּ אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ כָּל־ הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה אֶל־ פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃

4But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.

4וְאִם־ בְּאַחַ֖ת יִתְקָ֑עוּ וְנוֹעֲד֤וּ אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ הַנְּשִׂיאִ֔ים רָאשֵׁ֖י אַלְפֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

5When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.

5וּתְקַעְתֶּ֖ם תְּרוּעָ֑ה וְנָֽסְעוּ֙ הַֽמַּחֲנ֔וֹת הַחֹנִ֖ים קֵֽדְמָה׃

6When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.

6וּתְקַעְתֶּ֤ם תְּרוּעָה֙ שֵׁנִ֔ית וְנָֽסְעוּ֙ הַֽמַּחֲנ֔וֹת הַחֹנִ֖ים תֵּימָ֑נָה תְּרוּעָ֥ה יִתְקְע֖וּ לְמַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃

7To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.

7וּבְהַקְהִ֖יל אֶת־ הַקָּהָ֑ל תִּתְקְע֖וּ וְלֹ֥א תָרִֽיעוּ׃

8The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.

8וּבְנֵ֤י אַהֲרֹן֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים יִתְקְע֖וּ בַּֽחֲצֹצְר֑וֹת וְהָי֥וּ לָכֶ֛ם לְחֻקַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶֽם׃

9When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.

9וְכִֽי־ תָבֹ֨אוּ מִלְחָמָ֜ה בְּאַרְצְכֶ֗ם עַל־ הַצַּר֙ הַצֹּרֵ֣ר אֶתְכֶ֔ם וַהֲרֵעֹתֶ֖ם בַּחֲצֹצְר֑וֹת וֲנִזְכַּרְתֶּ֗ם‪‬ לִפְנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם וְנוֹשַׁעְתֶּ֖ם מֵאֹיְבֵיכֶֽם׃

10And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

10וּבְי֨וֹם שִׂמְחַתְכֶ֥ם וּֽבְמוֹעֲדֵיכֶם֮ וּבְרָאשֵׁ֣י חָדְשֵׁיכֶם֒ וּתְקַעְתֶּ֣ם בַּחֲצֹֽצְרֹ֗ת עַ֚ל עֹלֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם וְעַ֖ל זִבְחֵ֣י שַׁלְמֵיכֶ֑ם וְהָי֨וּ לָכֶ֤ם לְזִכָּרוֹן֙ לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ פ

11On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,

11וַיְהִ֞י בַּשָּׁנָ֧ה הַשֵּׁנִ֛ית בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִ֖י בְּעֶשְׂרִ֣ים בַּחֹ֑דֶשׁ נַעֲלָה֙ הֶֽעָנָ֔ן מֵעַ֖ל מִשְׁכַּ֥ן הָעֵדֻֽת׃

12and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.

12וַיִּסְע֧וּ בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל לְמַסְעֵיהֶ֖ם מִמִּדְבַּ֣ר סִינָ֑י וַיִּשְׁכֹּ֥ן הֶעָנָ֖ן בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר פָּארָֽן׃

13They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

13וַיִּסְע֖וּ בָּרִאשֹׁנָ֑ה עַל־ פִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה בְּיַד־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃

14First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.

14וַיִּסַּ֞ע דֶּ֣גֶל מַחֲנֵ֧ה בְנֵֽי־ יְהוּדָ֛ה בָּרִאשֹׁנָ֖ה לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וְעַל־ צְבָא֔וֹ נַחְשׁ֖וֹן בֶּן־ עַמִּינָדָֽב׃

15Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,

15וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י יִשָׂשכָ֑ר נְתַנְאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ צוּעָֽר׃

16and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.

16וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י זְבוּלֻ֑ן אֱלִיאָ֖ב בֶּן־ חֵלֽוֹן׃

17Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting it.

17וְהוּרַ֖ד הַמִּשְׁכָּ֑ן וְנָסְע֤וּ בְנֵֽי־ גֵרְשׁוֹן֙ וּבְנֵ֣י מְרָרִ֔י נֹשְׂאֵ֖י הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃ ס

18Then the divisions of the camp of Reuben set out under their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.

18וְנָסַ֗ע דֶּ֛גֶל מַחֲנֵ֥ה רְאוּבֵ֖ן לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וְעַל־ צְבָא֔וֹ אֱלִיצ֖וּר בֶּן־ שְׁדֵיאֽוּר׃

19Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,

19וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י שִׁמְע֑וֹן שְׁלֻֽמִיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ צוּרִֽי שַׁדָּֽי׃

20and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.

20וְעַל־ צְבָ֖א מַטֵּ֣ה בְנֵי־ גָ֑ד אֶלְיָסָ֖ף בֶּן־ דְּעוּאֵֽל׃

21Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.

21וְנָסְעוּ֙ הַקְּהָתִ֔ים נֹשְׂאֵ֖י הַמִּקְדָּ֑שׁ וְהֵקִ֥ימוּ אֶת־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֖ן עַד־ בֹּאָֽם׃ ס

22Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.

22וְנָסַ֗ע דֶּ֛גֶל מַחֲנֵ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ אֶפְרַ֖יִם לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וְעַל־ צְבָא֔וֹ אֱלִישָׁמָ֖ע בֶּן־ עַמִּיהֽוּד׃

23Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,

23וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה גַּמְלִיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ פְּדָה־ צֽוּר׃

24and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.

24וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י בִנְיָמִ֑ן אֲבִידָ֖ן בֶּן־ גִּדְעוֹנִֽי׃ ס

25Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard, serving as the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.

25וְנָסַ֗ע דֶּ֚גֶל מַחֲנֵ֣ה בְנֵי־ דָ֔ן מְאַסֵּ֥ף לְכָל־ הַֽמַּחֲנֹ֖ת לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וְעַל־ צְבָא֔וֹ אֲחִיעֶ֖זֶר בֶּן־ עַמִּישַׁדָּֽי׃

26Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,

26וְעַל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י אָשֵׁ֑ר פַּגְעִיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ עָכְרָֽן׃

27and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.

27וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י נַפְתָּלִ֑י אֲחִירַ֖ע בֶּן־ עֵינָֽן׃

28This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.

28אֵ֛לֶּה מַסְעֵ֥י בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וַיִּסָּֽעוּ׃ ס

29Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “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.”

29וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֗ה לְ֠חֹבָב בֶּן־ רְעוּאֵ֣ל הַמִּדְיָנִי֮ חֹתֵ֣ן מֹשֶׁה֒ נֹסְעִ֣ים ׀ אֲנַ֗חְנוּ אֶל־ הַמָּקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֹת֖וֹ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָכֶ֑ם לְכָ֤ה אִתָּ֙נוּ֙ וְהֵטַ֣בְנוּ לָ֔ךְ כִּֽי־ יְהוָ֥ה דִּבֶּר־ ט֖וֹב עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

30“I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”

30וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו לֹ֣א אֵלֵ֑ךְ כִּ֧י אִם־ אֶל־ אַרְצִ֛י וְאֶל־ מוֹלַדְתִּ֖י אֵלֵֽךְ׃

31“Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.

31וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אַל־ נָ֖א תַּעֲזֹ֣ב אֹתָ֑נוּ כִּ֣י ׀ עַל־ כֵּ֣ן יָדַ֗עְתָּ חֲנֹתֵ֙נוּ֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר וְהָיִ֥יתָ לָּ֖נוּ לְעֵינָֽיִם׃

32If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”

32וְהָיָ֖ה כִּי־ תֵלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֑נוּ וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ הַטּ֣וֹב הַה֗וּא אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֵיטִ֧יב יְהוָ֛ה עִמָּ֖נוּ וְהֵטַ֥בְנוּ לָֽךְ׃

33So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

33וַיִּסְעוּ֙ מֵהַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה דֶּ֖רֶךְ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֑ים וַאֲר֨וֹן בְּרִית־ יְהוָ֜ה נֹסֵ֣עַ לִפְנֵיהֶ֗ם דֶּ֚רֶךְ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֔ים לָת֥וּר לָהֶ֖ם מְנוּחָֽה׃

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

34וַעֲנַ֧ן יְהוָ֛ה עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם יוֹמָ֑ם בְּנָסְעָ֖ם מִן־ הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ ‪‬׆ס

35Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

35וַיְהִ֛י בִּנְסֹ֥עַ הָאָרֹ֖ן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֑ה קוּמָ֣ה ׀ יְהוָ֗ה וְיָפֻ֙צוּ֙ אֹֽיְבֶ֔יךָ וְיָנֻ֥סוּ מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

36And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”

36וּבְנֻחֹ֖ה יֹאמַ֑ר שׁוּבָ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה רִֽבְב֖וֹת אַלְפֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ‪‬׆ס
