1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

1וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

2“Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps.

2עֲשֵׂ֣ה לְךָ֗ שְׁתֵּי֙ חֲצֽוֹצְרֹ֣ת כֶּ֔סֶף מִקְשָׁ֖ה תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה אֹתָ֑ם וְהָי֤וּ לְךָ֙ לְמִקְרָ֣א הָֽעֵדָ֔ה וּלְמַסַּ֖ע אֶת־ הַֽמַּחֲנֽוֹת׃

3When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

3וְתָקְע֖וּ בָּהֵ֑ן וְנֽוֹעֲד֤וּ אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ כָּל־ הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה אֶל־ פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃

4But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.

4וְאִם־ בְּאַחַ֖ת יִתְקָ֑עוּ וְנוֹעֲד֤וּ אֵלֶ֙יךָ֙ הַנְּשִׂיאִ֔ים רָאשֵׁ֖י אַלְפֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

5When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey.

5וּתְקַעְתֶּ֖ם תְּרוּעָ֑ה וְנָֽסְעוּ֙ הַֽמַּחֲנ֔וֹת הַחֹנִ֖ים קֵֽדְמָה׃

6When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys.

6וּתְקַעְתֶּ֤ם תְּרוּעָה֙ שֵׁנִ֔ית וְנָֽסְעוּ֙ הַֽמַּחֲנ֔וֹת הַחֹנִ֖ים תֵּימָ֑נָה תְּרוּעָ֥ה יִתְקְע֖וּ לְמַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃

7And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance.

7וּבְהַקְהִ֖יל אֶת־ הַקָּהָ֑ל תִּתְקְע֖וּ וְלֹ֥א תָרִֽיעוּ׃

8The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.

8וּבְנֵ֤י אַהֲרֹן֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים יִתְקְע֖וּ בַּֽחֲצֹצְר֑וֹת וְהָי֥וּ לָכֶ֛ם לְחֻקַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶֽם׃

9“When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

9וְכִֽי־ תָבֹ֨אוּ מִלְחָמָ֜ה בְּאַרְצְכֶ֗ם עַל־ הַצַּר֙ הַצֹּרֵ֣ר אֶתְכֶ֔ם וַהֲרֵעֹתֶ֖ם בַּחֲצֹצְר֑וֹת וֲנִזְכַּרְתֶּ֗ם‪‬ לִפְנֵי֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם וְנוֹשַׁעְתֶּ֖ם מֵאֹיְבֵיכֶֽם׃

10Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God.”

10וּבְי֨וֹם שִׂמְחַתְכֶ֥ם וּֽבְמוֹעֲדֵיכֶם֮ וּבְרָאשֵׁ֣י חָדְשֵׁיכֶם֒ וּתְקַעְתֶּ֣ם בַּחֲצֹֽצְרֹ֗ת עַ֚ל עֹלֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם וְעַ֖ל זִבְחֵ֣י שַׁלְמֵיכֶ֑ם וְהָי֨וּ לָכֶ֤ם לְזִכָּרוֹן֙ לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ פ

11Now it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.

11וַיְהִ֞י בַּשָּׁנָ֧ה הַשֵּׁנִ֛ית בַּחֹ֥דֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִ֖י בְּעֶשְׂרִ֣ים בַּחֹ֑דֶשׁ נַעֲלָה֙ הֶֽעָנָ֔ן מֵעַ֖ל מִשְׁכַּ֥ן הָעֵדֻֽת׃

12And the children of Israel set out from the Wilderness of Sinai on their journeys; then the cloud settled down in the Wilderness of Paran.

12וַיִּסְע֧וּ בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל לְמַסְעֵיהֶ֖ם מִמִּדְבַּ֣ר סִינָ֑י וַיִּשְׁכֹּ֥ן הֶעָנָ֖ן בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר פָּארָֽן׃

13So they started out for the first time according to the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

13וַיִּסְע֖וּ בָּרִאשֹׁנָ֑ה עַל־ פִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה בְּיַד־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃

14The standard of the camp of the children of Judah set out first according to their armies; over their army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

14וַיִּסַּ֞ע דֶּ֣גֶל מַחֲנֵ֧ה בְנֵֽי־ יְהוּדָ֛ה בָּרִאשֹׁנָ֖ה לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וְעַל־ צְבָא֔וֹ נַחְשׁ֖וֹן בֶּן־ עַמִּינָדָֽב׃

15Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.

16And over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

16וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י זְבוּלֻ֑ן אֱלִיאָ֖ב בֶּן־ חֵלֽוֹן׃

17Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle.

17וְהוּרַ֖ד הַמִּשְׁכָּ֑ן וְנָסְע֤וּ בְנֵֽי־ גֵרְשׁוֹן֙ וּבְנֵ֣י מְרָרִ֔י נֹשְׂאֵ֖י הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃ ס

18And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their armies; over their army was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

18וְנָסַ֗ע דֶּ֛גֶל מַחֲנֵ֥ה רְאוּבֵ֖ן לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וְעַל־ צְבָא֔וֹ אֱלִיצ֖וּר בֶּן־ שְׁדֵיאֽוּר׃

19Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

19וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י שִׁמְע֑וֹן שְׁלֻֽמִיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ צוּרִֽי שַׁדָּֽי׃

20And over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

20וְעַל־ צְבָ֖א מַטֵּ֣ה בְנֵי־ גָ֑ד אֶלְיָסָ֖ף בֶּן־ דְּעוּאֵֽל׃

21Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things. (The tabernacle would be prepared for their arrival.)

21וְנָסְעוּ֙ הַקְּהָתִ֔ים נֹשְׂאֵ֖י הַמִּקְדָּ֑שׁ וְהֵקִ֥ימוּ אֶת־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֖ן עַד־ בֹּאָֽם׃ ס

22And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set out according to their armies; over their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.

22וְנָסַ֗ע דֶּ֛גֶל מַחֲנֵ֥ה בְנֵֽי־ אֶפְרַ֖יִם לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וְעַל־ צְבָא֔וֹ אֱלִישָׁמָ֖ע בֶּן־ עַמִּיהֽוּד׃

23Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

23וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה גַּמְלִיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ פְּדָה־ צֽוּר׃

24And over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

24וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י בִנְיָמִ֑ן אֲבִידָ֖ן בֶּן־ גִּדְעוֹנִֽי׃ ס

25Then the standard of the camp of the children of Dan (the rear guard of all the camps) set out according to their armies; over their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

25וְנָסַ֗ע דֶּ֚גֶל מַחֲנֵ֣ה בְנֵי־ דָ֔ן מְאַסֵּ֥ף לְכָל־ הַֽמַּחֲנֹ֖ת לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וְעַל־ צְבָא֔וֹ אֲחִיעֶ֖זֶר בֶּן־ עַמִּישַׁדָּֽי׃

26Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.

26וְעַל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י אָשֵׁ֑ר פַּגְעִיאֵ֖ל בֶּן־ עָכְרָֽן׃

27And over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

27וְעַ֨ל־ צְבָ֔א מַטֵּ֖ה בְּנֵ֣י נַפְתָּלִ֑י אֲחִירַ֖ע בֶּן־ עֵינָֽן׃

28Thus was the order of march of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they began their journey.

28אֵ֛לֶּה מַסְעֵ֥י בְנֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְצִבְאֹתָ֑ם וַיִּסָּֽעוּ׃ ס

29Now 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 treat you well; for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

29וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֗ה לְ֠חֹבָב בֶּן־ רְעוּאֵ֣ל הַמִּדְיָנִי֮ חֹתֵ֣ן מֹשֶׁה֒ נֹסְעִ֣ים ׀ אֲנַ֗חְנוּ אֶל־ הַמָּקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֹת֖וֹ אֶתֵּ֣ן לָכֶ֑ם לְכָ֤ה אִתָּ֙נוּ֙ וְהֵטַ֣בְנוּ לָ֔ךְ כִּֽי־ יְהוָ֥ה דִּבֶּר־ ט֖וֹב עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

30And he said to him, “I will not go, but I will depart to my own land and to my relatives.”

30וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו לֹ֣א אֵלֵ֑ךְ כִּ֧י אִם־ אֶל־ אַרְצִ֛י וְאֶל־ מוֹלַדְתִּ֖י אֵלֵֽךְ׃

31So Moses said, “Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.

31וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אַל־ נָ֖א תַּעֲזֹ֣ב אֹתָ֑נוּ כִּ֣י ׀ עַל־ כֵּ֣ן יָדַ֗עְתָּ חֲנֹתֵ֙נוּ֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר וְהָיִ֥יתָ לָּ֖נוּ לְעֵינָֽיִם׃

32And it shall be, if you go with us—indeed it shall be—that whatever good the LORD will do to us, the same we will do to you.”

32וְהָיָ֖ה כִּי־ תֵלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֑נוּ וְהָיָ֣ה ׀ הַטּ֣וֹב הַה֗וּא אֲשֶׁ֨ר יֵיטִ֧יב יְהוָ֛ה עִמָּ֖נוּ וְהֵטַ֥בְנוּ לָֽךְ׃

33So they departed from the mountain of the LORD on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them for the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.

33וַיִּסְעוּ֙ מֵהַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה דֶּ֖רֶךְ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֑ים וַאֲר֨וֹן בְּרִית־ יְהוָ֜ה נֹסֵ֣עַ לִפְנֵיהֶ֗ם דֶּ֚רֶךְ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֔ים לָת֥וּר לָהֶ֖ם מְנוּחָֽה׃

34And the cloud of the LORD was above them by day when they went out from the camp.

34וַעֲנַ֧ן יְהוָ֛ה עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם יוֹמָ֑ם בְּנָסְעָ֖ם מִן־ הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ ‪‬׆ס

35So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said: “Rise up, O LORD! Let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You.”

35וַיְהִ֛י בִּנְסֹ֥עַ הָאָרֹ֖ן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֑ה קוּמָ֣ה ׀ יְהוָ֗ה וְיָפֻ֙צוּ֙ אֹֽיְבֶ֔יךָ וְיָנֻ֥סוּ מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

36And when it rested, he said: “Return, O LORD, To the many thousands of Israel.”

36וּבְנֻחֹ֖ה יֹאמַ֑ר שׁוּבָ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה רִֽבְב֖וֹת אַלְפֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ‪‬׆ס
