the morning, then they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night
that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. But when the cloud tarried
two days or a month or a long season upon the habitation, as long as it
tarried thereon, the children of Israel kept their tents and journeyed
not. And as soon as the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. At the
mouth of the LORD they rested, and at the commandment of the LORD they
journeyed. And thus they kept the wait {watch} of the LORD, at the
commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
Chapter .x.
And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: Make thee two trumpets of hard
{beaten} silver, that thou mayst use them to call the congregation
together, and when the host shall journey. When they blow with them,
all the multitude shall resort to thee, unto the door of the tabernacle
of witness. If but one trumpet blow only, then the princes which are
heads over the thousands of Israel shall come unto thee. And when ye
trump the first time, the hosts that lie on the east parts shall go
forward. And when ye trump the second time, then the hosts that lie on
the south side shall take their journey: for they shall trump when they
take their journeys. And in gathering the congregation together, ye
shall blow and not trump. And the sons of Aaron the priests shall blow
the trumpets and shall have them and it shall be a law unto you for
ever and among your children after you. And when ye shall go to war in
your land against your enemies that vex you, ye shall trump with the
trumpets and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God and saved
from your enemies. Also when ye be merry in your feast days and in the
first days of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt
sacrifices and peaceofferings, that it may be a remembrance of you
before your God. I am the LORD {lorde} your God. And it came to pass
the twentieth day of the second month in the second year, that the
cloud was taken up from off the habitation of witness. And the children
of Israel took their journey out of the desert of Sinai, and the cloud
rested in the wilderness of Pharan. And the first took their journey at
the mouth of the LORD, by the hand of Moses: even the standard of the
host of Iuda removed first with their armies, whose captain was
Nahesson the son of Aminadab. And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Isachar, was Nathanael the son of Zuar. And over the host
of the tribe of the children of Zabulon, was Eliab the son of Helon.
And the habitation was taken down: and the sons of Gerson and Merari
went forth bearing the habitation. Then the standard of the host of
Ruben went forth with their armies, whose captain was Elizur the son of
Sedeur. And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon, was
Salamiel [the son of Zuri saddai. And over the host of the tribe of the
children of Gad was Eliasaph] the son of Deguel. Then the Cahathites
went forward and bare the holy things, and the other did set up the
