ok so obviously very speculative but there does seem to be some genuine connection between midian/edom and yahweh, altho the nature of the connection is unclear (i mean. the bible does literally say god came from there several times). anyway i post this mostly cuz of this strange detail:

The connection of the Midianites to the Kenites is made somewhat conjecturally. "Jethro" is only one of many names the Torah and later books of the Tanakh ascribe to Moses' father-in-law. He is first called "Reuel" when he is introduced in Exodus 2:18, however for the remainder of the Book of Exodus he is only referred to as "Jethro". In both the Book of Numbers and the Book of Judges, Moses' father-in-law is called neither "Jethro" or "Reuel", but "Hobab". Several unsatisfactory attempts at harmonization have been made: that Hobab and Jethro are alternative names for the same person, that Jethro/Hobab is the son of Reuel, which requires that in Exodus 2:16 "father" (Hebrew: אָב‎ ʾāḇ) means "grandfather" (ʾāḇ can also mean "male ancestor") and in Exodus 2:18 "daughter" (Hebrew: בַּת‎ bat) means "granddaughter" (bat can also mean "female descendant"), that Hobab is actually the brother-in-law of Moses and the reading of "father-in-law" in the Book of Numbers and the Book of Judges are the result of a scribal error (the Hebrew words for "brother-in-law" and "father-in-law" are spelled the same — חתן‎ — but pronounced differently, ḵātān vs. ḵōtēn, respectively), or that the name "Reuel" was simply inserted into Exodus 2 by a scribe for whatever reason. Proponents of the Kenite hypothesis explain the discrepancy as follows: since clan names and place names have a much better chance of survival in the collective memory than personal names, the most probable, if partial, solution is that "Reuel" is the name of the clan or lineage to which Hobab belonged. In the Book of Genesis, "Reuel" is listed as one of the sons of Esau[23] — i.e. as an Edomite tribe — and is also the name attached to a group of confederate clans.[24] In the same lists, a clan known as Ithran is also mentioned. Later, in the Second Book of Samuel and the First Book of Chronicles, two Ishmaelite (Arabian) names, Jithra[25] and Jether,[26] are mentioned. Ithran, Jithra, and Jether are all considered variants of the name Jithro — that is, Jethro. Because of this, William F. Albright asserted that the father-in-law and Midianite priest was indeed Jethro, and that Hobab was Moses’ brother-in-law, a member of the Reuel clan, and a metalsmith by profession.[27]

the bible is so weird! another great detail:

The Hebrew term "אשדת‎" is a hapax legomenon, it does not occur anywhere else in the Hebrew Bible, or anywhere else in the entire corpus of the Hebrew language throughout history. Jewish scholars explained this puzzling word by deeming it an esoteric compound of the Hebrew words ʾeš (fire) and dāṯ (law), thus yielding "fierly Law". However, proponents of the Kenite hypothesis instead claim that the word is not a compound at all, but a deliberate alteration of the word "אשרת‎", a variation of the name Asherah, the goddess who was worshipped as Yahweh's consort in the early centuries of the Israelite kingdoms. Taking a step further, they postulate that the reference of "holy myriads" (mērīḇəḇōṯ qōḏeš) is actually an alteration of the place-name "Meribath-Kadesh" (mərīḇaṯ qāḏēš), which is placed in the vicinity of Paran by Numbers 13:26. Thus, "He appeared from Mount Paran and came with some of the holy myriads; from His right hand was a fiery Law for them." becomes the equally coherent "He appeared from Mount Paran and came to Meribath-Kadesh; from His right hand was his Asherah." Furthermore, tablets from Kuntillet Ajrud blesses its recipient "by Yahweh of Teman and his Asherah" — connecting the Tanakh verses linking Yahweh to Teman and his consort Asherah. Therefore, it is concluded that the point of departure for Yahweh's triumphal going forth, and therefore his original residence among his devotees, is that part of Edom (Seir, Teman) which lay west of the Arabah. According to the biblical texts, this was the country of the Kenites.

had a literal epiphany yesterday at like 2 in the morning and came up with a Dreamling AU that will send me straight into hell. (jesus!hob x dream as his usual self)

so anyway may I present to you the first dialoge snippet 🫴

"I keep dreaming about tearing it all down you know, about forcing people to be happy for once, to forget their shallow rules, their useless morals. Everyone is a hypocrite, everyone is a sinner before an all-knowing god."

He answers and juts his chin out, broadens his shoulders as if he's fighting a real battle and not just one of wits.

"Very insightful for a fisherman from galilea."

Hobab snorts at Oneiros' dry response and takes another swig of his mug. He's impetuous with that, too. Drinks so fast that wine escapes his lips and runs down his throat in glittering rivulets.

"I am many things, my dear Outis, a fisher, a carpenter, occasional sheperd of sheep and pigs." "And a sinner?"

Oneiros asks, and tilts his head in a manner that could be an insult or an invitation. Alluring him to another night in the embrace of his arms or tempting Hobab to betray himself, to deny his own words. Challenging him to insult himself as he insulted his fellow men or to claim the same righteous honour, he judged them for clinging to.

But Hobab's lips spring into a smile, as easy as foal to its mother. His face painted in a gentle red by the oil lamp's shine as he raises his mug to the heavens above.

"And a sinner!" He echoes Oneiros' words into the tavern.

(Please keep in mind that I wrote this while white specks appeared at the edge of my vision) (yes this is going to be a gruesome mixture from life of brian, that one amazing art of @alexxuun about hope!hob being jesus and the literal bible)

-> i am also still kind of very lost in terms of plot and actual storyline, so i am extremly open for input -> so please feel invited to comment or dm me if you have thoughts on how this AU could work

(Ps: google says the hebrew name Hobab means "favored/beloved, fitting don't you think?, also outis means 'nobody' in greek, it's what oddyseus calls himself when he's at that one eyed giants home)

(Pps: please note that i am not doing this to offend anybody, i'm just writing this to put my 18 years of catholic church membership and 8 years of christian private school to good use)

Numbers

Chapter 10

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Make 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. 3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. 5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 6 When 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. 7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. 8 And 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. 9 And 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. 10 Also 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.

11 And 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. 12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 14 In 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. 15 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle. 18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came. 22 And 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. 23 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 25 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward. 29 And 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. 30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.

31 And 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. 32 And 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. 33 And 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. 34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. 35 And 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. 36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.

February 14th-The concepts for today: be careful making promises; be specific; and, you must be able to make good on your promises.

Numbers 10: 29 Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out to the place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you’; come with us and we will do you good, for the LORD has promised good concerning Israel.” 30But he said to him, “I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives.” 31Then he said, “Please do not leave us,…

FRESH MANNA

OBEDIENCE THROUGH AND THROUGH!

Jeremiah 35

Would God commend you for obeying His word, following instructions or anything spiritual? He did commend the Rechabites for this very reason and holds them up as emulatable. These nomadic tribes were recorded in 1 Chronicles 2:55 as part of the Kenites of Hemmath.

Jonadab was the son of Rehab, a Kenite who descended from Hobab and was the head of the Rechabites in the time of Jehu, who commanded his tribe to abstain from wine, as well as instructing them to dwell in tents (this was to help them see life as transient and to keep a low profile and to possibly continue long in the land where they were strangers).

God used the Rechabites' faithfulness to teach the Israelis an important lesson. The Lord told Jeremiah to invite the Rechabites family to meet with him in verse 2 and offer them wine, which they firmly declined, explaining their forefather's command in verse 6. They remained faithful to their family tradition passed on so long ago.

By their obedience and faithfulness to their father, Jeremiah condemns the disobedience of the Jews to God their Father. We are taught how much God loves and rewards obedience and hates and punishes disobedience.

Do we abide by God’s word, His laws, His instructions and principles? Would God commend you to someone as an example of obedience and faithfulness? How long will you hold on to God’s instructions? Is your obedience to God for a period only?

The Rechabites faithfully lived by the set rules through the generations, from Jehu’s time in 2 Kings 10:15 to Jeremiah’s time, well over 200 years.

The story of the Rechabites highlights the importance of covenant obedience and disobedience in our lives. The implication is that if the Rechabites observed the instructions of their human ancestors, stayed faithful to a long-standing family covenant not to drink wine, and held themselves accountable for their obedience to this instruction, we shouldn’t be careless with and disobedient to God’s covenant. This family could have updated and modified Jonadab's rule at any time in any generation, but they decided to hold fast to the generational long command.

God sent Jeremiah to remind Judah to learn a lesson from the Rechabites’ obedient faithfulness to Jonadab. God contrasted the obedience of the Rechabites to the disobedience of His people.

Again, and again God sent His prophets to tell the Israelites to turn from their wicked ways, but the people wouldn’t heed God’s word, just as again and again we hear God’s word but refuse to obey them. God is saying to us here that as the Rechabites obeyed and lived a good life based on their forefather’s instructions then, we too must hold firm to the new covenant in obedience and live by His word.

The consideration that we are strangers and pilgrims in this world as drawn in verses 9-10 should oblige us to abstain from all fleshly lusts and materialism. Jonadab's descendants observed these strict rules, only using proper means for their safety in a time of general suffering. Now we have a greater means of staying safe, prospering and overcoming sufferings and shortcomings-the name of Jesus which is better and stronger than what not drinking wine will do for us.

We have a covenant obligation to obey the instructions of our “Father” and live the way His word prescribes for us to live. There is much to learn from this family. They stood firm against assimilating into the culture of the time. But is it possible for us to be like the Rechabites in the world we live in today?

PRAYER: Oh Lord, help me to be fully committed, faithful and obedient to all your instructions in Jesus’s name. Amen.

Shalom

ÉTUDE BIBLIQUE~JUGES 4-5

👉Juges 4:1-16

Au Nord du pays l'ennemi d'autrefois s'est reformé. Sous le même nom: Jabin; dans la même capitale: Hatsor (voir Josué 11:1). Et il opprime Israël pendant vingt ans.

Bien-aimés, veillons à ne pas perdre le fruit des victoires de ceux qui nous ont devancés. Il faut combattre tout à nouveau, et Débora, une femme prophétesse, « une mère en Israël » (Juges 5:7), va être employée par l'Éternel pour juger et délivrer le peuple.

Jeunes filles croyantes, ne pensez pas que vous êtes mises de côté dans les services de l'Assemblée. Certes, il ne convient pas à la femme d'user d'autorité sur l'homme dans l'assemblée (1Timothée 2:12; 1Corinthiens 14:34). Mais combien de chrétiennes ont obtenu, ne serait-ce que par leurs prières, de remarquables délivrances!

Débora appelle Barak, mais celui-ci manque de courage. Il a besoin de s'appuyer sur quelqu'un. Sa confiance en Dieu n'est pas suffisante pour se passer de tout secours humain (lire Psaumes 146:3, 5).

Notre courage dépend toujours de la mesure de confiance que nous avons dans le Seigneur. Si nous en manquons, faisons comme les apôtres au chapitre 4 des Actes. Ils demandent à Dieu « toute hardiesse ou une pleine assurance » (verset 29) et, par l'Esprit, ils la reçoivent (verset 31).

👉Juges 4:17-24; 5:1-11

Sisera s'est enfui à pied; ses neuf cents chars de fer ne lui ont été d'aucun secours. Il a cru trouver asile dans la tente du Kénien. Mais c'est la mort qu'il y a rencontrée par la main de Jaël, femme de foi (Juges 4:21). Elle est intéressante, cette famille du Kénien. Hobab, son ancêtre, avait jadis refusé d'accompagner Israël (Nombres 10:29-30). Mais par la suite ses descendants suivirent le peuple ( Juges 1:16), et c'est pour prendre part à présent à ses combats et à son triomphe.

Barak survenant, trouve son ennemi anéanti par une femme, perdant ainsi, comme l'en avait prévenu Débora, une partie de l'honneur de la victoire. Eh bien, Dieu discerne la foi où nous n'en voyons guère briller !

Le nom de Barak figure dans la liste des fidèles témoins du chapitre 11 des Hébreux (verset 32). Quelle grâce ! Le peu que le Seigneur nous permet de faire pour Lui, tout mêlé souvent de sentiments humains, ce peu a du prix pour Lui, et Il s’en souviendra.

Il est bien loin, le jour où tout le peuple chantait sur le rivage de la mer Rouge. Dans ce temps de faiblesse, nous n’entendons que deux voix, celles de Débora et de Barak, un homme et une femme de foi. Mais leur cantique n'est pas moins triomphant. Il commence par célébrer l'Éternel à qui revient la gloire de la victoire.

👉Juges 5:12-31

Si le cantique de Barak et de Débora attribue justement à l’Éternel l’honneur de la victoire, chaque tribu concernée ne doit pas moins recevoir sa louange ou son blâme.

Certaines de ces tribus ont pris une part active aux combats. Zabulon et Nephthali, par exemple, ont exposé leur vie (verset 18; comparer Romains 16:4; Philippiens 2:30).

D’autres, au contraire, par lâcheté ou paresse, ne se sont pas engagées. Parmi elles les deux tribus et demie: Ruben, malgré des « considérations de coeur », des hésitations, est resté auprès de ses troupeaux qui lui avaient déjà été en piège pour s’établir au delà du Jourdain. De même Galaad (Gad et Manassé; verset 17). Dan et Aser, retenus par leur commerce et leurs affaires, n'ont pas quitté les bateaux ni les ports.

Le Seigneur ne peut pas se servir des indécis ni des gens trop occupés. À un moment ou à un autre l’occasion est fournie de montrer ce qui a la priorité dans notre vie. Est-ce que ce sont les intérêts du peuple de Dieu, le bien de l’Assemblée ? Ou bien ressemblons-nous à ceux dont Paul pouvait dire avec tristesse qu’ils cherchent « leurs propres intérêts, non pas ceux de Jésus-Christ » ? (Philippiens 2:21).

En rapprochant notre verset 12 du Psaume 68v18, cité en Éphésiens 4:8, nous y discernons Christ vainqueur, délivrant les prisonniers de Satan, puis montant au ciel en triomphe. Merveilleuses paroles ! Barak, cet homme timoré (timide ou craintif), peut donc être un reflet du Seigneur ? Oui, et de même le plus faible racheté est appelé à Lui ressembler.

Nous tous qui, le visage découvert, contemplons comme dans un miroir la gloire du Seigneur, nous sommes transformés en la même image, de gloire en gloire, comme par le Seigneur, l'Esprit (2 Corinthiens 3:18).

Journey to Heaven

An Analysis

Numbers 10:29-32

And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said…

THE CHRISTIAN'S DESTINATION.

He is not at home on earth, but is a stranger and a pilgrim.

He desires something better, and this desire is not to be disappointed.

Heaven is something promised.

The prospect is delightful.

THE CHRISTIAN'S JOURNEY.

Heaven is not only a place we desire, but one to which we are rapidly advancing. Travelling does not mean a quiescent state of ease and rest; it means active exertion.

The different stages of Christian life do not represent simply advancing age, but the attainment of higher degrees of Christian character and perfection.

THE CHRISTIAN'S DESIRE

that others should accompany him.

More especially is this the case as regards relations and friends. It is his duty to invite them. It is part of his Christian work. Well may he be eloquent when a matter of so grave importance is in the balance.

Let us seek company as we journey to heaven.

It will be better for us here and hereafter.

Deborah, the Woman Judge

1 After Ehud died, the people of Israel again did what the Lord said was wrong. 2 So he let Jabin, a king of Canaan, defeat Israel. Jabin ruled in the city of Hazor. Sisera was the commander of Jabin’s army. Sisera lived in Harosheth Haggoyim. 3 He had 900 iron chariots and was very cruel to the people of Israel for 20 years. So they cried to the Lord for help.

4 There was a prophetess named Deborah. She was the wife of Lappidoth. She was judge of Israel at that time. 5 Deborah would sit under the Palm Tree of Deborah. This was between the cities of Ramah and Bethel, in the mountains of Ephraim. And the people of Israel would come to her to settle their arguments.

6 Deborah sent a message to a man named Barak. He was the son of Abinoam. Barak lived in the city of Kedesh, which is in the area of Naphtali. Deborah said to Barak, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go and gather 10,000 men of Naphtali and Zebulun. Lead them to Mount Tabor. 7 I will make Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, come to you. Sisera, his chariots and his army will meet you at the Kishon River. I will help you to defeat Sisera there.’”

8 Then Barak said to Deborah, “I will go if you will go with me. But if you will not go with me, I won’t go.”

9 “Of course I will go with you,” Deborah answered. “But you will not get credit for the victory. The Lord will let a woman defeat Sisera.” So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh. 10 At Kedesh, Barak called the people of Zebulun and Naphtali together. From them, he gathered 10,000 men to follow him. Deborah went with Barak also.

11 Now Heber the Kenite had left the other Kenite people. (The Kenites were descendants of Hobab, Moses’ brother-in-law.) Heber had put up his tent by the great tree in Zaanannim. This is near Kedesh.

12 Then Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor. 13 So Sisera gathered his 900 iron chariots and all the men with him. They went from Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River.

14 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Get up! Today is the day the Lord will help you defeat Sisera. You know the Lord has already cleared the way for you.” So Barak led 10,000 men down from Mount Tabor. 15 He and his men attacked Sisera and his men. During the battle the Lord confused Sisera and his army and chariots. So Barak and his men used their swords to defeat Sisera’s army. But Sisera left his chariot and ran away on foot. 16 Barak and his men chased Sisera’s chariots and army to Harosheth Haggoyim. They used their swords to kill all of Sisera’s men. Not one of them was left alive.

17 But Sisera himself ran away. He came to the tent where Jael lived. She was the wife of Heber, one of the Kenite family groups. Heber’s family was at peace with Jabin king of Hazor. 18 Jael went out to meet Sisera. She said to him, “Come into my tent, master! Come in. Don’t be afraid.” So Sisera went into Jael’s tent, and she covered him with a rug.

19 Sisera said to Jael, “I am thirsty. Please give me some water to drink.” So she opened a leather bag in which she kept milk and gave him a drink. Then she covered him up.

20 Then Sisera said to Jael, “Go stand at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is anyone here?’ say, ‘No.’”

21 But Jael, the wife of Heber, took a tent peg and a hammer. She quietly went to Sisera. Since he was very tired, he was sleeping. She hammered the tent peg through the side of Sisera’s head and into the ground! And so Sisera died.

22 Then Barak came by Jael’s tent, chasing Sisera. Jael went out to meet him and said, “Come. I will show you the man you are looking for.” So Barak entered her tent. There Sisera lay dead, with the tent peg in his head.

23 On that day God defeated Jabin king of Canaan in the sight of Israel.

24 Israel became stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan. Finally, they destroyed him. — Judges 4 | International Children’s Bible (ICB) The Holy Bible, International Children’s Bible® Copyright© 1986, 1988, 1999, 2015 by Thomas Nelson.

Google:

me: oh good, I'm not the only one confused. (also WHO IS HOBAB?)

#on a brighter note i now know how to pronounce reuel #lilybarthes listens to the bible podcast #edit: apparently they're either the same person or reuel is the patriarch of the family and jethro is her biological father #still no news on hobab tho

Numbers 10: God Tells Moses To Make Two Silver Trumpets To Call Israel Together

1 The Lord said to Moses: 

2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out. 

3 When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 

4 If only one is sounded, the leaders—the heads of the clans of Israel—are to assemble before you. 

5 When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out. 

6 At the sounding of a second blast, the camps on the south are to set out. The blast will be the signal for setting out. 

7 To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets, but not with the signal for setting out.

8 “The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to blow the trumpets. This is to be a lasting ordinance for you and the generations to come. 

9 When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies. 

10 Also at your times of rejoicing—your appointed festivals and New Moon feasts—you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”

The Israelites Leave Sinai

11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle of the covenant law. 

12 Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran. 

13 They set out, this first time, at the Lord’s command through Moses.

14 The divisions of the camp of Judah went first, under their standard. Nahshon son of Amminadab was in command. 

15 Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar, 

16 and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun. 

17 Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and Merarites, who carried it, set out.

18 The divisions of the camp of Reuben went next, under their standard. Elizur son of Shedeur was in command. 

19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon, 

20 and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad. 

21 Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things. The tabernacle was to be set up before they arrived.

22 The divisions of the camp of Ephraim went next, under their standard. Elishama son of Ammihud was in command. 

23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh, 

24 and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.

25 Finally, as the rear guard for all the units, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was in command. 

26 Pagiel son of Okran was over the division of the tribe of Asher, 

27 and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali. 

28 This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.

29 Now Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for 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 to Israel.”

30 He answered, “No, I will not go; I am going back to my own land and my own people.”

31 But Moses said, “Please do not leave us. You know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes. 

32 If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the Lord gives us.”

33 So they set out from the mountain of the Lord and traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them during those three days to find them a place to rest. 

34 The cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses said,

“Rise up, Lord!     May your enemies be scattered;     may your foes flee before you.”

36 Whenever it came to rest, he said,

“Return, Lord,     to the countless thousands of Israel.”
