Numbers 10:29-36 - The Appeal To Hobab
29 Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well; for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel."
30 He said to him, "I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives."
31 He said, "Do not leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes. 32 And it shall be, if you go with us, that it shall be that whatever good the LORD does to us, we will do the same to you."
33 They set forward from the Mount of the LORD three days' journey. The ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them. 34 The cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.
35 It happened, when the ark went forward, that Moses said, "Rise up, LORD, and let your enemies be scattered. Let those who hate you flee before you."
36 When it rested, he said, "Return, LORD, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel."
