father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said,
I will give it to you: come you with us, and we will do you good;
for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel.
010:030 He said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land,
and to my relatives.
010:031 He said, Don't leave us, please; because you know how we
are to encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us
instead of eyes.
010:032 It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever
good Yahweh shall do to us, the same will we do to you.
010:033 They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey;
and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them
three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
010:034 The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward
from the camp.
010:035 It happened, when the ark set forward, that Moses said,
Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered;
and let those who hate you flee before you.
010:036 When it rested, he said, Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands
of the thousands of Israel.
011:001 The people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears of Yahweh:
