1Herren sagde nu til Moses:2„Lav to trompeter af hamret sølv. De skal bruges som signalhorn, så folket ved, hvornår det er tid at samles, og hvornår det er tid at bryde op.3Når der blæses i begge trompeter på en gang, er det signal til, at folket skal samles ved åbenbaringsteltets indgang,4men når der kun blæses i den ene, er det signal til at kun stammelederne skal mødes.5Når I blæser signalet til opbrud, skal de stammer, der ligger i lejr ved østsiden af boligen, bryde op først.6Når opbrudssignalet lyder en gang til, skal stammerne ved sydsiden følge efter. Ved det tredje trompetsignal skal stammerne mod vest bryde op, og ved det fjerde signal skal stammerne mod nord bryde op.*7Men skal folket blot kaldes sammen, skal I blæse et andet signal.8Præsterne er de eneste, som må blæse i trompeterne. Denne ordning skal gælde fremover fra slægt til slægt.9Når I kommer ind i det land, jeg har lovet jer, og I går i krig mod en fjende, der undertrykker jer, skal I blæse opbrudssignalet i trompeterne, så vil jeg gribe ind og redde jer fra jeres fjender.10Når det er tid til at fejre de årlige og månedlige højtider, skal I blæse i trompeterne. Det er signalet til, at der skal bringes brændofre og takofre. De skal minde jer om, at jeg er iblandt jer. Jeg er Herren, jeres Gud.”
Rejsen bort fra Sinaibjerget begynder
11På den 20. dag i den anden måned, et år efter, at Israels folk havde forladt Egypten, løftede skyen sig fra boligen med pagtens ark,12og skyen viste israelitterne vej fra Sinaiørkenen hele vejen op til Parans ørken.13Vandringen skete i overensstemmelse med de instrukser, Herren havde givet Moses.14Først skulle Judas stamme bryde op med banneret for den første hærafdeling. De blev anført af Nahshon.15Issakars stamme, anført af Netanel,16og Zebulons stamme, anført af Eliab, fulgte med i den første afdeling.17Derefter blev åbenbaringsteltet pakket sammen, og det var Gershons og Meraris slægter af Levis stamme, der drog af sted med det på skuldrene.18Så skulle Rubens stamme bryde op med banneret for den anden hærafdeling. De blev anført af Elitzur.19Simeons stamme, anført af Shelumiel,20og Gads stamme, anført af Eljasaf, fulgte med i den anden hærafdeling.21Derpå skulle Kehats slægt bryde op. Det var dem, der bar de hellige ting fra boligen, og åbenbaringsteltet ville så allerede være stillet op, når de nåede frem til den nye lejrplads.22Derefter skulle Efraims stamme bryde op med banneret for den tredje hærafdeling. De blev anført af Elishama.23Manasses stamme, anført af Gamliel,24og Benjamins stamme, anført af Abidan, fulgte med i den tredje hærafdeling.25Til sidst skulle Dans stamme bryde op med banneret for den fjerde hærafdeling. De blev anført af Ahiezer.26Ashers stamme, anført af Pagiel,27og Naftalis stamme, anført af Ahira, fulgte med i den sidste hærafdeling.28Således skulle stammerne bryde op i rækkefølge og vandre af sted i de foreskrevne hærafdelinger.29Da de skulle til at begynde vandringen, sagde Moses til sin svoger,* midjanitten Hobab: „Endelig er vi på vej mod det land, Herren har lovet os. Hvis du vil følge med os, vil vi belønne dig rigeligt, for Herren har givet Israels folk gode løfter.”30Men Hobab svarede: „Nej tak, jeg må tilbage til mit land og min slægt.”31„Jo, bliv nu hos os,” bad Moses. „Vi har brug for dig, for du kender ørkenen og ved, hvor det er bedst at slå lejr.32Hvis du går med os, skal du nok få del i alt det gode, Herren vil give os.” Det gjorde han så.33De vandrede derefter væk fra Herrens bjerg, mens skyen svævede over pagtens ark, som blev båret forrest for at vise dem vej. Efter tre dagsrejser kom de til et sted, hvor de kunne slå lejr og hvile ud.35Hver gang de løftede arken for at gå videre, råbte Moses: „Rejs dig, Herre. Slå dine fjender på flugt, så de spredes for alle vinde.”36Og hver gang de holdt hvil, sagde han: „Vend tilbage, Herre. Bliv hos disse tusindvis af israelitter.”

The Silver Trumpets
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.3And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.4But if they blow only one, then the chiefs, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.5When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out.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.7But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow a long blast, but you shall not sound an alarm.8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations.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.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.”
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,12and the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran.13They set out for the first time at the command of the Lord by Moses.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.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.18And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out by their companies, and over their company was Elizur the son of Shedeur.19And over the company of the tribe of the people of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.20And over the company of the tribe of the people of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.21Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things, and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival.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.23And over the company of the tribe of the people of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.24And over the company of the tribe of the people of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.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.26And over the company of the tribe of the people of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran.27And over the company of the tribe of the people of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.28This was the order of march of the people of Israel by their companies, when they set out.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.”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.32And if you do go with us, whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same will we do to you.”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.34And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp.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.”36And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”
