10:25 The standard of the camp of the Danites set out, which was the rear guard 1 of all the camps by their companies; over his company was Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai. 10:26 Over the company of the tribe of the Asherites was Pagiel son of Ocran, 10:27 and over the company of the tribe of the Naphtalites was Ahira son of Enan. 10:28 These were the traveling arrangements 2 of the Israelites according to their companies when they traveled. 3
10:29 4 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel, the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, 5 “We are journeying to the place about which the Lord said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will treat you well, 6 for the Lord has promised good things 7 for Israel.” 10:30 But Hobab 8 said to him, “I will not go, but I will go instead to my own land and to my kindred.” 10:31 Moses 9 said, “Do not leave us, 10 because you know places for us to camp in the wilderness, and you could be our guide. 11 10:32 And if you come with us, it is certain 12 that whatever good things the Lord will favor us with, we will share with you as well.”
10:33 So they traveled from the mountain of the Lord three days’ journey; 13 and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was traveling before them during the three days’ journey, to find a resting place for them. 10:34 14 And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, when they traveled 15 from the camp. 10:35 And when the ark traveled, Moses would say, “Rise up, O Lord! May your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you flee before you!” 10:36 And when it came to rest he would say, “Return, O Lord, to the many thousands of Israel!” 16
