Numbers 10:33-36 - The People Set Out
33 And they set forward from the mount of LORD three days' journey. And the ark of the covenant of LORD went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them. 34 And the cloud of LORD was over them by day when they set forward from the camp.
35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered, and let those who hate thee flee before thee.
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
