And it came to pass the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the habitation of witness. And the children of Israel took their journey out of the desert of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. And the first took their journey at the mouth of the LORD, by the hand of Moses: read more.
even the standard of the host of Judah removed first with their armies, whose captain was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar, was Nethanel the son of Zuar. And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulon, was Eliab the son of Helon. And the habitation was taken down: and the sons of Gershon and Merari went forth bearing the habitation. Then the standard of the host of Reuben went forth with their armies, whose captain was Elizur the son of Shedeur. And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon, was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. Then the Kohathites went forward and bare the holy things, and the other did set up the habitation against they came. Then the standard of the host of the children of Ephraim went forth with their armies, whose captain was Elishama the son of Ammihud. And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, was Abidan the son of Gedeoni. And hindmost of all the host came the standard of the host of the children of Dan with their armies: whose captain was, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher, was Pagiel the son of Ochran. And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, was Ahira the son of Enan. Of this manner were the journeys of the children of Israel, with their armies when they removed. And Moses said unto Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We go unto the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it you.' Go with us and we will do thee good, for the LORD hath promised good unto Israel." And he said unto him, "I will not: but will go to mine own land and to my kindred." And Moses said, "Oh nay, leave us not, for thou knowest where is best for us to pitch in the wilderness: and thou shalt be our eyes. And if thou go with us, look what goodness the LORD showeth upon us, the same we will show upon thee." 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. And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they went out of the tents. And when the ark went forth, Moses said, "Rise up LORD and let thine enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee flee before thee." And when the ark rested, he said, "Return LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel."
