¹¹ On the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle of the testimony. ¹² So the Israelites set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud settled in the wilderness of Paran. ¹³ This was the first time they set out on their journey according to the commandment of the LORD, by the authority of Moses. ¹⁴ The standard of the camp of the Judahites set out first according to their companies, and over his company was Nahshon son of Amminadab. ¹⁵ Over the company of the tribe of Issacharites was Nathanel son of Zuar, ¹⁶ and over the company of the tribe of the Zebulunites was Elion son of Helon. ¹⁷ Then the tabernacle was dismantled, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle. ¹⁸ The standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their companies; over his company was Elizur son of Shedeur. ¹⁹ Over the company of the tribe of the Simeonites was Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai, ²⁰ and over the company of the tribe of the Gadites was Eliasaph son of Deuel. ²¹ And the Kohathites set out, carrying the articles for the sanctuary; the tabernacle was to be set up before they arrived. ²² And the standard of the camp of the Ephraimites set out according to their companies; over his company was Elishama son of Ammihud. ²³ Over the company of the tribe of the Manassehites was Gamaliel son of Pedahzur, ²⁴ and over the company of the tribe of Benjaminites was Abidan son of Gideoni. ²⁵ The standard of the camp of the Danites set out, which was the rear guard of all the camps by their companies; over his company was Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai. ²⁶ Over the company of the tribe of the Asherites was Pagiel son of Ocran, ²⁷ and over the company of the tribe of the Naphtalites was Ahira son of Enan. ²⁸ These were the traveling arrangements of the Israelites according to their companies when they traveled. ²⁹ Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel, the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "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, for the LORD has promised good things for Israel." ³⁰ But Hobab said to him, "I will not go, but I will go instead to my own land and to my kindred." ³¹ Moses said, "Do not leave us, because you know places for us to camp in the wilderness, and you could be our guide. ³² And if you come with us, it is certain that whatever good things the LORD will favor us with, we will share with you as well." ³³ So they traveled from the mountain of the LORD three days' journey; 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. ³⁴ And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they traveled from the camp. 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!" ³⁶ And when it came to rest he would say, "Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel!"
