1The LORD spoke to Moses:1The LORD spoke to Moses:
2"Make two trumpets of hammered silver to summon the community and have the camps set out.2"Make two trumpets of silver; you are to make them from a single hammered piece. You will use them for assembling the community and for directing the traveling of the camps.
3When both are sounded in long blasts, the entire community is to gather before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.3When they blow them both, all the community must come to you to the entrance of the tent of meeting.
4However, if one is sounded, only the leaders, the heads of Israel's clans, are to gather before you.4"But if they blow with one trumpet, then the leaders, the heads of the thousands of Israel, must come to you.
5"When you sound short blasts, the camps pitched on the east are to set out.5When you blow an alarm, then the camps that are located on the east side must begin to travel.
6When you sound short blasts a second time, the camps pitched on the south are to set out. Short blasts are to be sounded for them to set out.6And when you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that are located on the south side must begin to travel. An alarm must be sounded for their journeys.
7When calling the assembly together, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.7But when you assemble the community, you must blow, but you must not sound an alarm.
8The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. Your use of these is a permanent statute throughout your generations.8The sons of Aaron, the priests, must blow the trumpets; and they will be to you for an eternal ordinance throughout your generations.
9"When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who is attacking you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and be saved from your enemies.9If you go to war in your land against an adversary who opposes you, then you must sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
10You are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your fellowship sacrifices and on your joyous occasions, your appointed festivals, and the beginning of each of your months. They will serve as a reminder for you before your God: I am the LORD your God."10"Also in the time when you rejoice, such as on your appointed festivals or at the beginnings of your months, you must blow with your trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, so that they may become a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God."

29Moses said to Hobab, descendant of Reuel the Midianite and Moses's relative by marriage: Reuel the Midianite: "We're setting out for the place the LORD promised: 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel."29Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel, the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place about 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 for Israel."
30But he replied to him, "I don't want to go. Instead, I will go to my own land and my relatives."30But Hobab said to him, "I will not go, but I will go instead to my own land and to my kindred."
31"Please don't leave us," Moses said, "since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.31Moses said, "Do not leave us, because you know places for us to camp in the wilderness, and you could be our guide.
32If you come with us, whatever good the LORD does for us we will do for you."32And if you come with us, it is certain that whatever good things the LORD will favor us with, we will share with you as well."
