The Appeal To Hobab

He promised to make Israel prosperous, so come with us, and we will share our prosperity with you. 30 But he said to him, “I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives.” 31 Please do not leave us, Moses said. You know where we can camp in the desert. You can be our guide.
