| 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 1The LORD also told Moses, |
| 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. | 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. |
| 3And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. | 3Sound them when the whole assembly is to gather together at the entrance to the appointed place of meeting. |
| 4And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. | 4When one trumpet is blown, the elders and the heads of the thousands of the Israelis are to gather to you. |
| 5When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. | 5When you sound an alarm, the ones encamped on the east side are to begin to travel. |
| 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. | 6When 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. |
| 7But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. | 7But when you blow the trumpet to assemble the whole congregation, don't use the same sound as you do for sounding 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. | 8The descendants of Aaron the priest are to blow the trumpets. Have them do this for you permanently throughout your generations to come." |
| 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. | 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. |
| 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. | 10At the beginning of the month, during your time of rejoicing at the appointed place, sound the trumpet over your burnt offering, then sacrifice your peace offering, since they are to be your memorial before the LORD 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. | 11On the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, the cloud was lifted up from the Tent of Meeting, |
| 12And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. | 12so the Israelis set out from the Sinai Wilderness until the cloud settled in the Paran Wilderness, |
| 13And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. | 13doing what the LORD had said through 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. | 14The standard of the camp of Judah was the first to travel, accompanied by its army with Amminadab's son Nahshon in charge. |

| 21And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came. | 21Then the descendants of Kohath, carrying the sanctuary, set out, since the tent was to be set up before they arrive. |
| 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. | 22After this, the standard of the camp of Ephraim set out, accompanied by its army with Ammihud's son Elishama in charge. |

| 28Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward. | 28This was the travel order for the Israelis, whenever their companies traveled. |
| 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. | 29Then 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." |
| 30And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. | 30But he said, "I won't go with you because I'm returning to my land and to my own family." |
| 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. | 31Then Moses responded, "Please don't leave us now, since you know where we can camp in the wilderness. You could be our guide. |
| 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. | 32And when you come with us, the good things that the LORD will grant us, we'll give you as well." |
| 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. | 33So 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. |
| 34And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. | 34Moreover, the cloud of the LORD protected them during the day when they left their 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. | 35Whenever 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." |
| 36And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel. | 36Whenever the ark was being readied to rest, he would say: "Return, LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel." |
