| 1The LORD also told Moses, | 1The LORD spoke further to Moses, saying, |
| 2"Make two trumpets, crafting them from beaten silver, for use in calling the congregation together and for notifying the camps to set out for travel. | 2"Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out. |
| 3Sound them when the whole assembly is to gather together at the entrance to the appointed place of meeting. | 3"When both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the doorway of the tent of meeting. |
| 4When one trumpet is blown, the elders and the heads of the thousands of the Israelis are to gather to you. | 4"Yet if only one is blown, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall assemble before you. |
| 5When you sound an alarm, the ones encamped on the east side are to begin to travel. | 5"But when you blow an alarm, the camps that are pitched on the east side shall set out. |
| 6When you sound the alarm the second time, those encamped on the south are to begin to travel. Alarms are to be sounded for their travels. | 6"When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are pitched on the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be blown for them to set out. |
| 7But when you blow the trumpet to assemble the whole congregation, don't use the same sound as you do for sounding an alarm. | 7"When convening the assembly, however, you shall blow without sounding an alarm. |
| 8The descendants of Aaron the priest are to blow the trumpets. Have them do this for you permanently throughout your generations to come." | 8"The priestly sons of Aaron, moreover, shall blow the trumpets; and this shall be for you a perpetual statute throughout your generations. |
| 9"When you wage war in your land against an enemy who is hostile to you, you are to sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before the face of the LORD your God and you will be delivered from your enemies. | 9"When you go to war in your land against the adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and be saved from your enemies. |
| 10At the beginning of the month, during your time of rejoicing at the appointed place, sound the trumpet over your burnt offering, then sacrifice your peace offering, since they are to be your memorial before the LORD your God. I am the LORD your God." | 10"Also in the day of your gladness and in your appointed feasts, and on the first days of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the LORD your God." |
| 11On the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, the cloud was lifted up from the Tent of Meeting, | 11Now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony; |
| 12so the Israelis set out from the Sinai Wilderness until the cloud settled in the Paran Wilderness, | 12and the sons of Israel set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran. |

| 22After this, the standard of the camp of Ephraim set out, accompanied by its army with Ammihud's son Elishama in charge. | 22Next the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim, according to their armies, was set out, with Elishama the son of Ammihud over its army, |

| 29Then Moses told Reuel's son Hobab, Moses' relative by marriage from Midian, "We are traveling to the place about which the LORD said 'I will give it to you.' So come with us and we'll be good to you, because the LORD has spoken good things about Israel." | 29Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out to the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you'; come with us and we will do you good, for the LORD has promised good concerning Israel." |
| 30But he said, "I won't go with you because I'm returning to my land and to my own family." | 30But he said to him, "I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives." |
| 31Then Moses responded, "Please don't leave us now, since you know where we can camp in the wilderness. You could be our guide. | 31Then he said, "Please do not leave us, inasmuch as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us. |
| 32And when you come with us, the good things that the LORD will grant us, we'll give you as well." | 32"So it will be, if you go with us, that whatever good the LORD does for us, we will do for you." |
| 33So they traveled from the mountain of the LORD, a three-day trip, with the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD traveling in front of them—a three day trip to explore a place for them to rest. | 33Thus they set out from the mount of the LORD three days' journey, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD journeying in front of them for the three days, to seek out a resting place for them. |
| 34Moreover, the cloud of the LORD protected them during the day when they left their camp. | 34The cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp. |
| 35Whenever the ark was ready to travel, Moses would say: "Arise, LORD, to scatter your enemies, so that whoever hates you will flee from your presence." | 35Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said, "Rise up, O LORD! And let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You." |
| 36Whenever the ark was being readied to rest, he would say: "Return, LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel." | 36When it came to rest, he said, "Return, O LORD, To the myriad thousands of Israel." |
