1 Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work, shalt thou make them, - and they shall be unto thee for calling the assembly, and for setting forward the camps.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
1 The Lord spoke further to Moses, saying,
1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
1 The LORD also told Moses,
2 As soon as they blow therewith, so soon hall all the assembly assemble themselves unto thee, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
2 “Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for (A)summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out.
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.
3 And, if, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, gather themselves unto thee.
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
3 (B)When both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the doorway of the tent of meeting.
3 When both are sounded in long blasts, the entire community is to gather before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
3 Sound them when the whole assembly is to gather together at the entrance to the appointed place of meeting.
4 But when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped eastwards;
4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
4 Yet if only one is blown, then the (C)leaders, the heads of the (a)divisions of Israel, shall assemble before you.
4 However, if one is sounded, only the leaders, the heads of Israel’s clans,(B) are to gather before you.
4 When one trumpet is blown, the elders and the heads of the thousands of the Israelis are to gather to you.
5 and when ye blow a second alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped southwards, - an alarm, shall they blow for setting them forward,
5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
5 When you sound an alarm, the ones encamped on the east side are to begin to travel.
6 But in calling together the convocation, ye shall blow but shall not sound an alarm.
6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
6 When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are pitched on (E)the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be blown for them to set out.
6 When you sound short blasts a second time, the camps pitched on the south(D) are to set out. Short blasts are to be sounded for them to set out.
6 When 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.
7 And, the sons of Aaron the priests, shall blow with the trumpets, - and it shall be unto you for a statute age-abiding, unto your generations.
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
7 When calling the assembly together, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.
7 But when you blow the trumpet to assemble the whole congregation, don't use the same sound as you do for sounding an alarm.
8 And when ye go into war in your land against thee assailant that assaileth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets, - and bring yourselves to mind before Yahweh your God, and be saved, from your enemies,
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
8 (G)The priestly sons of Aaron, moreover, shall blow the trumpets; and (b)this shall be for you a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. Your use of these is a permanent statute throughout your generations.
8 The descendants of Aaron the priest are to blow the trumpets. Have them do this for you permanently throughout your generations to come."
9 And in your day of rejoicing and in your appointed seasons and in the beginnings of your months, then shall ye blow with the trumpets, over your ascending-sacrifices, and over your peace-offerings, - so shall they be unto you for a memorial before your God. I - Yahweh, am your God.
9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
9 When you go to war in your land against the adversary who (H)attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be (I)remembered before the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies.
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 delivered from your enemies.(E)
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.

The Appeal To Hobab

28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
28 This was the order of march for the Israelites by their military divisions as they set out.
28 This was the travel order for the Israelis, whenever their companies traveled.
29 And he said unto him, I will not go, - but unto my own land, and unto my own kindred, will I go.
29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
29 Then Moses said to (W)Hobab the son of (X)Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out to the place of which the Lord said, ‘(Y)I will give it to you’; (Z)come with us and we will do you good, for the Lord (AA)has (g)promised good concerning Israel.”
29 Moses said to Hobab, son of Moses’ father-in-law(a) Reuel(b)(P) the Midianite: “We’re setting out for the place the Lord promised: ‘I will give it to you.’(Q) Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”(R)
29 Then 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."
30 Then said he: I beseech thee, do not forsake us, - for, on this account, hast thou come to know of our encamping in the desert, so shalt thou be unto us as eyes;
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
30 But he replied to him, “I don’t want to go. Instead, I will go to my own land and my relatives.”
30 But he said, "I won't go with you because I'm returning to my land and to my own family."
31 and it shall be if thou wilt go with us, - yea it shall be that with the very good wherewith Yahweh shall do us good, will we do good unto thee.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
31 Then he said, “Please do not leave us, inasmuch as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you (AC)will be as eyes for us.
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.
31 Then Moses responded, "Please don't leave us now, since you know where we can camp in the wilderness. You could be our guide.
The People Set Out
32 So then they went forward, from the mountain of Yahweh, a journey of three days, - and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, was going before them a journey of three days, to search out for them a resting-place,
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
32 So it will be, if you go with us, that (h)(AD)whatever good the Lord (i)does for us, (AE)we will (j)do for you.”
32 And when you come with us, the good things that the LORD will grant us, we'll give you as well."
33 And the cloud of Yahweh, was over them by day, - when they set forward out of the camp.
33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
33 (AF)Thus they set out from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey, with (AG)the ark of the covenant of the Lord journeying in front of them for the (k)three days, to seek out (AH)a resting place for them.
33 They set out from the mountain of the Lord on a three-day journey with the ark of the Lord’s covenant traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.(T)
33 So 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.
34 And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said: Arise, O Yahweh! and scattered be thy foes, Let them that hate thee flee before thee;
34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
34 Meanwhile, the cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.
34 Moreover, the cloud of the LORD protected them during the day when they left their camp.
35 But when it rested, he said, - Return, O Yahweh! unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
35 Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said,“(AJ)Rise up, O Lord!And let Your enemies be scattered,And let those (AK)who hate You flee (l)before You.”
35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say:Arise, Lord!Let Your enemies be scattered,and those who hate You flee from Your presence.(U)
35 Whenever 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."
