Bilangan 10:35

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!”

Bilangan 10:1

The Blowing of Trumpets

10:1 ¹ The Lord spoke to Moses:

1 Samuel 4:3

4:3 When the army ²  came back to the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why did the Lord let us be defeated today by ³  the Philistines? Let’s take with us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Shiloh. When it is with us, it will save us ⁴  from the hand of our enemies.

[10:1]  ¹ sn Here we have a short section (10:1-10) dealing with the regulations for blowing trumpets in times of war or in times of peace.

[4:3]  ² tn Or “people.”

[4:3]  ³ tn Heb “before.”

[4:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “and it will come in our midst and it will save.” After the cohortative (see “let’s take”), the prefixed verbal forms with the prefixed conjunction indicate purpose or result. The translation understands the ark to be the subject of the third masculine singular verbs, although it is possible to understand the Lord as the subject. In the latter case, one should translate, “when he is with us, he will save us.”
