1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,2“Make two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for breaking camp. (Ps 81:3; Isa 1:13; Joe 1:14)3And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. (Jer 4:5; Joe 2:15)4But if they blow only one, then the chiefs, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. (Ex 18:21; Nu 1:16; Nu 7:2)5When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out. (Nu 2:3; Nu 10:14)6And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out. (Nu 2:10; Nu 10:18)7But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow a long blast, but you shall not sound an alarm. (Nu 10:3; Joe 2:1)8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. (1Ch 15:24; 2Ch 13:12)9And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. (Ge 8:1; Nu 10:7; Nu 31:6; Jos 6:5; Jud 2:18; Jud 4:3; Jud 10:8; Jud 10:12; 1Sa 10:18; 2Ch 13:14)10On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be a reminder of you before your God: I am the Lord your God.” (Nu 10:9; Nu 28:11; Nu 29:1; 1Ch 15:24; 2Ch 5:12; 2Ch 7:6; 2Ch 29:26; Ezr 3:10; Ne 12:35; Ps 81:3)
Israel Leaves Sinai
11In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony, (Nu 9:17)12and the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran. (Ge 21:21; Ex 19:1; Ex 40:36; Nu 1:1; Nu 9:5; Nu 12:16; Nu 13:3; Nu 13:26; De 1:1)13They set out for the first time at the command of the Lord by Moses. (Nu 2:34; Nu 10:5)14The standard of the camp of the people of Judah set out first by their companies, and over their company was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. (Nu 1:7; Nu 2:3)15And over the company of the tribe of the people of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.16And over the company of the tribe of the people of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.17And when the tabernacle was taken down, the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who carried the tabernacle, set out. (Nu 1:51; Nu 4:24; Nu 7:6)18And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out by their companies, and over their company was Elizur the son of Shedeur. (Nu 1:5; Nu 2:10)19And over the company of the tribe of the people of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. (Nu 1:6)20And over the company of the tribe of the people of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. (Nu 1:14; Nu 2:14)21Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things, and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival. (Nu 4:4; Nu 7:9; Nu 10:17)22And the standard of the camp of the people of Ephraim set out by their companies, and over their company was Elishama the son of Ammihud. (Nu 1:10; Nu 2:18)23And over the company of the tribe of the people of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. (Nu 10:22)24And over the company of the tribe of the people of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. (Nu 1:11)25Then the standard of the camp of the people of Dan, acting as the rear guard of all the camps, set out by their companies, and over their company was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. (Nu 1:12; Nu 2:25; Jos 6:9)26And over the company of the tribe of the people of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran. (Nu 1:13)27And over the company of the tribe of the people of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. (Nu 1:15)28This was the order of march of the people of Israel by their companies, when they set out. (Nu 2:34)29And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do good to you, for the Lord has promised good to Israel.” (Ge 12:7; Ge 32:12; Ex 2:18; Ex 3:8; Ex 6:7)30But he said to him, “I will not go. I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.”31And he said, “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us. (Job 29:15)32And if you do go with us, whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same will we do to you.” (Nu 10:29; Jud 1:16; Jud 4:11)33So they set out from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them. (Ex 3:1; Ps 132:8; Jer 31:2)34And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp. (Ex 13:21)35And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.” (Ps 68:1)36And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”
1The Lord said to Moses:2‘Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for the camps to set out.3When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.4If only one is sounded, the leaders – the heads of the clans of Israel – are to assemble before you.5When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.6At the sounding of a second blast, the camps on the south are to set out. The blast will be the signal for setting out.7To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets, but not with the signal for setting out.8‘The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to blow the trumpets. This is to be a lasting ordinance for you and the generations to come.9When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.10Also at your times of rejoicing – your appointed festivals and New Moon feasts – you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.’
The Israelites leave Sinai
11On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle of the covenant law.12Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and travelled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran.13They set out, this first time, at the Lord’s command through Moses.14The divisions of the camp of Judah went first, under their standard. Nahshon son of Amminadab was in command.15Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,16and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.17Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and Merarites, who carried it, set out.18The divisions of the camp of Reuben went next, under their standard. Elizur son of Shedeur was in command.19Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,20and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.21Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things. The tabernacle was to be set up before they arrived.22The divisions of the camp of Ephraim went next, under their standard. Elishama son of Ammihud was in command.23Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,24and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.25Finally, as the rear guard for all the units, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was in command.26Pagiel son of Okran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,27and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.28This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.29Now Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, ‘We are setting out for the place about which the Lord said, “I will give it to you.” Come with us and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.’30He answered, ‘No, I will not go; I am going back to my own land and my own people.’31But Moses said, ‘Please do not leave us. You know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.32If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the Lord gives us.’33So they set out from the mountain of the Lord and travelled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them during those three days to find them a place to rest.34The cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.35Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, ‘Rise up, Lord! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you.’36Whenever it came to rest, he said, ‘Return, Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel.’
1The LORD said to Moses,2‘Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. Blow them when you want the community to gather together. And blow them when you want the camps to start out.3When both trumpets are blown, the whole community must gather in front of you. They must come to the entrance to the tent of meeting.4Suppose only one trumpet is blown. Then the leaders must gather in front of you. They are the heads of the tribes of Israel.5When a trumpet blast is blown, the tribes camped on the east side must start out.6When the second blast is blown, the camps on the south side must start out. The blast will tell them when to start.7Blow the trumpets to gather the people together. But do not use the same kind of blast.8‘The sons of Aaron, the priests, must blow the trumpets. That is a law for you and your children after you for all time to come.9Suppose you go into battle in your own land. And suppose it is against an enemy who is treating you badly. Then blow a blast on the trumpets. If you do, I will remember you. I will save you from your enemies. I am the LORD your God.10You must also blow the trumpets when you are happy. Blow them at your appointed feasts. Blow them at your New Moon feasts. Blow them when you sacrifice your burnt offerings. Blow them when you sacrifice your friendship offerings. They will remind me of you. I am the LORD your God.’
The Israelites leave the Sinai Desert
11It was the 20th day of the second month of the second year. On that day the cloud began to move. It went up from above the holy tent where the tablets of the covenant law were kept.12Then the Israelites started out from the Desert of Sinai. They travelled from place to place. They kept going until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran.13The first time they started out, the LORD commanded Moses to tell them to do it. And they did it.14The groups of the camp of Judah went first. They marched out under their flag. Nahshon was their commander. He was the son of Amminadab.15Nethanel was over the group of the tribe of Issachar. Nethanel was the son of Zuar.16Eliab was over the group of the tribe of Zebulun. Eliab was the son of Helon.17The holy tent was taken down. The men of Gershon and Merari started out. They carried the tent.18The groups of the camp of Reuben went next. They marched out under their flag. Elizur was their commander. He was the son of Shedeur.19Shelumiel was over the group of the tribe of Simeon. Shelumiel was the son of Zurishaddai.20Eliasaph was over the group of the tribe of Gad. Eliasaph was the son of Deuel.21The men of Kohath started out. They carried the holy things. The holy tent had to be set up before they arrived.22The groups of the camp of Ephraim went next. They marched out under their flag. Elishama was their commander. He was the son of Ammihud.23Gamaliel was over the group of the tribe of Manasseh. Gamaliel was the son of Pedahzur.24Abidan was over the group of the tribe of Benjamin. Abidan was the son of Gideoni.25Finally, the groups of the camp of Dan started out. They marched out under their flag. They followed behind all the other groups and guarded them. Ahiezer was their commander. He was the son of Ammishaddai.26Pagiel was over the group of the tribe of Asher. Pagiel was the son of Okran.27Ahira was over the group of the tribe of Naphtali. Ahira was the son of Enan.28As the groups of Israel started out, that was the order they marched in.29Moses spoke to Hobab, the son of Reuel. Reuel was Moses’ father-in-law. Reuel was from Midian. Moses said to Hobab, ‘We’re starting out for the place the LORD promised to us. He said to us, “I will give it to you.” So come with us. We’ll treat you well. The LORD has promised to give good things to Israel.’30Hobab answered, ‘No. I can’t go. I’m going back to my own land. I’m returning to my own people.’31But Moses said, ‘Please don’t leave us. You know where we should camp in the desert. You can be our guide.32So come with us. The LORD will give us good things. We’ll share them with you.’33So they started out from the mountain of the LORD. They travelled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the LORD went in front of them during those three days. It went ahead of them to find a place for them to rest.34They started out from the camp by day. And the cloud of the LORD was above them.35When the ark started out, Moses said, ‘LORD, rise up! Let your enemies be scattered. Let them run away from you.’36When the ark stopped, Moses said, ‘LORD, return. Return to the many thousands of people in Israel.’
Numbers 10
King James Version
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,2Make 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.3And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.4And if they blow but with one trumpet , then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.5When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.6When 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.7But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.8And 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.9And 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.10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.11And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.12And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.13And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.14In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.15And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.16And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.17And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.18And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.19And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.20And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.21And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.22And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.23And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.24And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.25And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.26And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.27And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.28Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.29And 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.30And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.31And 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.32And 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.33And 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.34And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.35And 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.36And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
1Der HERR sprach zu Mose:2Mach dir zwei silberne Trompeten! Aus getriebenem Metall sollst du sie machen. Sie sollen dir dazu dienen, die Gemeinde einzuberufen und den einzelnen Lagern das Zeichen zum Aufbruch zu geben.3Wenn man mit beiden Trompeten bläst, soll sich die ganze Gemeinde am Eingang des Offenbarungszeltes bei dir versammeln.4Wenn man nur mit einer bläst, sollen sich die Anführer, die Hauptleute der Tausendschaften Israels, bei dir versammeln.5Wenn ihr sie mit lautem Schall blast, dann sollen die Lager auf der Ostseite aufbrechen.6Wenn ihr sie zum zweiten Mal mit lautem Schall blast, dann sollen die Lager auf der Südseite aufbrechen. Je nachdem, wie sie aufzubrechen haben, soll man mit lautem Schall blasen.7Wenn die Versammlung einberufen werden soll, dann blast, aber nicht das Signal mit lautestem Schall!8Die Söhne Aarons, die Priester, sollen die Trompeten blasen. Das soll als ewige Satzung bei euch gelten, von Generation zu Generation.9Wenn ihr in eurem Land in einen Krieg zieht gegen einen Angreifer, der euch bedrängt, dann blast mit den Trompeten das Signal mit lautestem Schall! So werdet ihr euch vor dem HERRN, eurem Gott, in Erinnerung bringen und vor euren Feinden gerettet werden.10Auch an euren Freudentagen, an den Festen und Monatsanfängen, blast zu euren Brand- und Heilsopfern mit den Trompeten! Das wird euch vor eurem Gott in Erinnerung bringen. Ich bin der HERR, euer Gott.
VOM SINAI BIS AN DIE GRENZE DES VERHEISSENEN LANDES
Aufbruch vom Sinai
11Am zwanzigsten Tag des zweiten Monats im zweiten Jahr erhob sich die Wolke über der Wohnung des Bundeszeugnisses.12Da brachen die Israeliten von der Wüste Sinai auf, wie es die Ordnung für den Aufbruch vorsah, und die Wolke ließ sich in der Wüste Paran nieder.13So brachen sie zum ersten Mal auf, wie ihnen der HERR durch Mose befohlen hatte. (Nu 2:1)14Als Erstes brach das Feldzeichen des Lagers Juda auf, nach Abteilungen geordnet. Judas Heer befehligte Nachschon, der Sohn Amminadabs.15Das Heer des Stammes der Issachariter befehligte Netanel, der Sohn Zuars.16Das Heer des Stammes der Sebuloniter befehligte Eliab, der Sohn Helons.17Nach dem Abbau der Wohnung brachen die Gerschoniter und die Merariter auf, die die Wohnung trugen.18Dann brach das Feldzeichen des Lagers Rubens auf, nach Abteilungen geordnet. Rubens Heer befehligte Elizur, der Sohn Schedëurs.19Das Heer des Stammes der Simeoniter befehligte Schelumiël, der Sohn Zurischaddais.20Das Heer des Stammes der Gaditer befehligte Eljasaf, der Sohn Deguëls.21Dann brachen die Kehatiter auf, die das Heiligtum trugen. Die Wohnung stellte man auf, bevor sie ankamen.22Dann brach das Feldzeichen des Lagers der Efraimiter auf, nach Abteilungen geordnet. Efraims Heer befehligte Elischama, der Sohn Ammihuds.23Das Heer des Stammes der Manassiter befehligte Gamliël, der Sohn Pedazurs.24Das Heer des Stammes der Benjaminiter befehligte Abidan, der Sohn Gidonis.25Dann brach das Feldzeichen des Lagers der Daniter auf; sie bildeten die Nachhut aller nach Abteilungen geordneten Lager. Das Heer Dans befehligte Ahiëser, der Sohn Ammischaddais.26Das Heer des Stammes der Ascheriter befehligte Pagiël, der Sohn Ochrans.27Das Heer des Stammes der Naftaliter befehligte Ahira, der Sohn Enans.28Das war die Ordnung für den Aufbruch der Israeliten, geordnet nach Abteilungen. So brachen sie auf.
Führung Gottes auf dem Weg
29Mose sagte zu Hobab, dem Sohn des Midianiters Reguël, seines Schwiegervaters: Wir brechen auf zu dem Ort, von dem der HERR gesagt hat: Ihn gebe ich euch. Geh mit uns! Wir werden dir Gutes tun; denn der HERR hat Israel Gutes verheißen. (Ex 2:18; Ex 3:1; Ex 4:18; Ex 18:1; Jud 1:16; Jud 4:11)30Er aber sagte zu ihm: Ich gehe nicht mit, sondern ich gehe in mein Land und zu meiner Verwandtschaft zurück. (Ex 18:27)31Da sagte Mose: Verlass uns doch nicht! Denn du kennst unsere Lagerplätze in der Wüste; du kannst unser Auge sein.32Wenn du mit uns gehst, dann werden wir das Gute, das der HERR uns gibt, auch dir geben.33Sie brachen vom Berg des HERRN auf und zogen drei Tagesmärsche weit. Die Bundeslade des HERRN zog drei Tage lang vor ihnen her, um einen Lagerplatz für sie zu erkunden. (Ex 13:21; De 1:33)34Die Wolke des HERRN war bei Tag über ihnen, wenn sie vom Lager aufbrachen.35Wenn die Lade aufbrach, sagte Mose:
Steh auf, HERR, /
dann zerstieben deine Feinde, /
dann fliehen deine Gegner vor dir. / (Ps 68:2; Ps 132:8; Isa 33:3)36Und wenn sie lagerten, sagte er:
Kehr zurück, HERR, /
zu den Tausenden und Abertausenden Israels!
