10:001

And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying

10:002

'Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them; and they shall be unto thee for the calling of the congregation, and for causing the camps to set forward

10:003

And when they shall blow with them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting

10:004

And if they blow but with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee

10:005

And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey

10:006

And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys

10:007

But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm

10:008

And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout your generations

10:009

And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before HaShem your G-d, and ye shall be saved from your enemies

10:010

Also in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your G-d: I am HaShem your G-d.

10:011

10:028

Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts. --And they set forward

10:029

And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law: 'We are journeying unto the place of which HaShem said: I will give it you; come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for HaShem hath spoken good concerning Israel.

10:030

And he said unto him: 'I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.

10:031

And he said: 'Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes

10:032

And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever HaShem shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

10:033

10:034

And the cloud of HaShem was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp

10:035

And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said: 'Rise up, O HaShem, and let Thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee.

10:036

And when it rested, he said: 'Return, O HaShem, unto the ten thousands of the families of Israel.
