1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων 2 ποίησον σεαυτῷ δύο σάλπιγγας ἀργυρᾶς ἐλατὰς ποιήσεις αὐτάς καὶ ἔσονταί σοι ἀνακαλεῖν τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ ἐξαίρειν τὰς παρεμβολάς 3 καὶ σαλπίσεις ἐν αὐταῖς καὶ συναχθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου 4 ἐὰν δὲ ἐν μιᾷ σαλπίσωσιν προσελεύσονται πρὸς σὲ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀρχηγοὶ Ισραηλ 5 καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι ἀνατολάς 6 καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν δευτέραν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι λίβα καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν τρίτην καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι παρὰ θάλασσαν καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν τετάρτην καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι πρὸς βορρᾶν σημασίᾳ σαλπιοῦσιν ἐν τῇ ἐξάρσει αὐτῶν 7 καὶ ὅταν συναγάγητε τὴν συναγωγήν σαλπιεῖτε καὶ οὐ σημασίᾳ 8 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ααρων οἱ ἱερεῖς σαλπιοῦσιν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν 9 ἐὰν δὲ ἐξέλθητε εἰς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους τοὺς ἀνθεστηκότας ὑμῖν καὶ σημανεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἀναμνησθήσεσθε ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ διασωθήσεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν 10 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς εὐφροσύνης ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις ὑμῶν σαλπιεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν ἐπὶ τοῖς ὁλοκαυτώμασιν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις τῶν σωτηρίων ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν ἀνάμνησις ἔναντι τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

1 And the Lord bade Moses 2 make two trumpets of wrought silver, to give the signal when he would gather the whole people round him, when he would order them to move camp. 3 Sound both trumpets, he told him, and all must assemble to meet thee at the tabernacle door; 4 sound but one, and it will bring only the chieftains, that represent the many thousands of Israel. 5 But if it is a long blast that rises and falls, first of all those on the east will move camp; 6 when the sound comes again, a second wail of the trumpet, those on the south will fold their tents; and so with the rest, as the wail of the trumpet bids them set out. 7 When the signal is given for the people to assemble, the blast of the trumpet will be on one note, without any wailing rise and fall. 8 The trumpets are to be blown by the priests, the men of Aaron’s line; this custom you must keep unaltered, age after age. 9 When your country goes out to war, to repel hostile attack, the trumpets must give a wailing sound, appealing to the Lord your God to save you from the power of your enemies. 10 And when you keep feast or holiday, and at the new moon, you will make burnt-sacrifice and welcome-offering to the sound of the trumpet, to claim the divine audience; audience from the Lord your God.

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 2 Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra. 3 Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis. 4 Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes, et capita multitudinis Israël. 5 Si autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam. 6 In secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubæ, levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem; et juxta hunc modum reliqui facient, ululantibus tubis in profectionem. 7 Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non concise ululabunt. 8 Filii autem Aaron sacerdotes clangent tubis: eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris. 9 Si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos, clangetis ululantibus tubis, et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro, ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum. 10 Siquando habebitis epulum, et dies festos, et calendas, canetis tubis super holocaustis, et pacificis victimis, ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri. Ego Dominus Deus vester.

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ἀνέβη ἡ νεφέλη ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου 12 καὶ ἐξῆραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ σὺν ἀπαρτίαις αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Σινα καὶ ἔστη ἡ νεφέλη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ Φαραν 13 καὶ ἐξῆραν πρῶτοι διὰ φωνῆς κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ 14 καὶ ἐξῆραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν Ιουδα πρῶτοι σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν Ναασσων υἱὸς Αμιναδαβ 15 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ισσαχαρ Ναθαναηλ υἱὸς Σωγαρ 16 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ζαβουλων Ελιαβ υἱὸς Χαιλων 17 καὶ καθελοῦσιν τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Γεδσων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Μεραρι αἴροντες τὴν σκηνήν 18 καὶ ἐξῆραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς Ρουβην σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν Ελισουρ υἱὸς Σεδιουρ 19 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Συμεων Σαλαμιηλ υἱὸς Σουρισαδαι 20 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Γαδ Ελισαφ ὁ τοῦ Ραγουηλ 21 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Κααθ αἴροντες τὰ ἅγια καὶ στήσουσιν τὴν σκηνήν ἕως παραγένωνται 22 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς Εφραιμ σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν Ελισαμα υἱὸς Εμιουδ 23 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασση Γαμαλιηλ ὁ τοῦ Φαδασσουρ 24 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Βενιαμιν Αβιδαν ὁ τοῦ Γαδεωνι 25 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν Δαν ἔσχατοι πασῶν τῶν παρεμβολῶν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν Αχιεζερ ὁ τοῦ Αμισαδαι 26 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ασηρ Φαγαιηλ υἱὸς Εχραν 27 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Νεφθαλι Αχιρε υἱὸς Αιναν 28 αὗται αἱ στρατιαὶ υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐξῆραν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν

11 And now, in the second year, on the twentieth day of the second month, the cloud lifted from the tabernacle, 12 and the sons of Israel marched away, company by company, from the desert of Sinai, till the cloud came to rest again in another desert, that of Pharan. 13 First, as the Lord’s word to Moses commanded them, 14 went the companies of Juda, under Nahasson son of Aminadab, 15 then Issachar under Nathanael son of Suar, 16 then Zabulon under Eliab son of Helon. 17 Meanwhile, the tabernacle had been taken down, and the sons of Gerson and Merari set out bringing it with them. 18 Then came the companies of Ruben under Helisur son of Sedeur, 19 then Simeon under Salamiel son of Surisaddai, 20 then Gad under Eliasaph son of Duel. 21 After these the Caathites marched, with their holy burden;[1] the tabernacle going on first, so as to be ready for them when they reached the place where it was set up. 22 Then came the companies of Ephraim under Elisama son of Ammiud, 23 then Manasses under Gamaliel son of Phadassur, 24 then Benjamin under Abidan son of Gedeon. 25 And in the rear came the companies of Dan under Ahiezer son of Ammisaddai, 26 the tribe of Aser under Phegiel son of Ochran, 27 and the tribe of Nephthali under Ahira son of Enan. 28 Such was the order of march in which Israel’s various companies set out, whenever they moved camp.

11 Anno secundo, mense secundo, vigesima die mensis, elevata est nubes de tabernaculo fœderis: 12 profectique sunt filii Israël per turmas suas de deserto Sinai, et recubuit nubes in solitudine Pharan. 13 Moveruntque castra primi juxta imperium Domini in manu Moysi. 14 Filii Juda per turmas suas: quorum princeps erat Nahasson filius Aminadab. 15 In tribu filiorum Issachar fuit princeps Nathanaël filius Suar. 16 In tribu Zabulon erat princeps Eliab filius Helon. 17 Depositumque est tabernaculum, quod portantes egressi sunt filii Gerson et Merari. 18 Profectique sunt et filii Ruben, per turmas et ordinem suum: quorum princeps erat Helisur filius Sedeur. 19 In tribu autem filiorum Simeon, princeps fuit Salamiel filius Surisaddai. 20 Porro in tribu Gad erat princeps Eliasaph filius Duel. 21 Profectique sunt et Caathitæ portantes sanctuarium. Tamdiu tabernaculum portabatur, donec venirent ad erectionis locum. 22 Moverunt castra et filii Ephraim per turmas suas, in quorum exercitu princeps erat Elisama filius Ammiud. 23 In tribu autem filiorum Manasse princeps fuit Gamaliel filius Phadassur. 24 Et in tribu Benjamin erat dux Abidan filius Gedeonis. 25 Novissimi castrorum omnium profecti sunt filii Dan per turmas suas, in quorum exercitu princeps fuit Ahiezer filius Ammisaddai. 26 In tribu autem filiorum Aser erat princeps Phegiel filius Ochran. 27 Et in tribu filiorum Nephthali princeps fuit Ahira filius Enan. 28 Hæc sunt castra, et profectiones filiorum Israël per turmas suas quando egrediebantur.

29 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς τῷ Ιωβαβ υἱῷ Ραγουηλ τῷ Μαδιανίτῃ τῷ γαμβρῷ Μωυσῆ ἐξαίρομεν ἡμεῖς εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν κύριος τοῦτον δώσω ὑμῖν δεῦρο με{Q'} ἡμῶν καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν ὅτι κύριος ἐλάλησεν καλὰ περὶ Ισραηλ 30 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν οὐ πορεύσομαι ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γενεάν μου 31 καὶ εἶπεν μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς ἡμᾶς οὗ εἵνεκεν ἦσθα με{Q'} ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἔσῃ ἐν ἡμῖν πρεσβύτης 32 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῇς με{Q'} ἡμῶν καὶ ἔσται τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἐκεῖνα ὅσα ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιήσῃ κύριος ἡμᾶς καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν

29 And now Moses said to Hobab, son of Raguel the Madianite, his father-in-law, We are on our way to the home the Lord means to give us; come with us, and share our fortunes; the Lord has promised to bless Israel. 30 I cannot come with thee, he said; I must go back to the land where I was born. 31 And Moses answered, Do not leave us; thou canst tell us where best to encamp; we look to thee for guidance. 32 Come with us, and the best of all the Lord gives us shall be thine.

29 Dixitque Moyses Hobab filio Raguel Madianitæ, cognato suo: Proficiscimur ad locum quem Dominus daturus est nobis: veni nobiscum, ut benefaciamus tibi, quia Dominus bona promisit Israëli. 30 Cui ille respondit: Non vadam tecum, sed revertar in terram meam, in qua natus sum. 31 Et ille: Noli, inquit, nos relinquere: tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus, et eris ductor noster. 32 Cumque nobiscum veneris, quidquid optimum fuerit ex opibus, quas nobis traditurus est Dominus, dabimus tibi.

33 καὶ ἐξῆραν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους κυρίου ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου προεπορεύετο προτέρα αὐτῶν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν κατασκέψασθαι αὐτοῖς ἀνάπαυσιν 34 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς ἐξεγέρθητι κύριε διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροί σου φυγέτωσαν πάντες οἱ μισοῦντές σε 35 καὶ ἐν τῇ καταπαύσει εἶπεν ἐπίστρεφε κύριε χιλιάδας μυριάδας ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ 36 καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἐγένετο σκιάζουσα ἐ{P'} αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς

33 So they travelled three days’ journey from the mountain of the Lord; and all those three days’ journey the ark that bore record of the Lord’s covenant went at their head[2] to choose their camping-place. 34 The divine cloud, too, overshadowed them all day while they marched. 35 Whenever the ark was lifted from the ground, Moses would say, Bestir thyself, Lord, and rout thy enemies; confront thy ill-wishers and put them to flight. 36 And when it was put down again, he would say, Restore thy presence, Lord, to the thronging armies of Israel.

33 Profecti sunt ergo de monte Domini viam trium dierum, arcaque fœderis Domini præcedebat eos, per dies tres providens castrorum locum. 34 Nubes quoque Domini super eos erat per diem cum incederent. 35 Cumque elevaretur arca, dicebat Moyses: Surge, Domine, et dissipentur inimici tui, et fugiant qui oderunt te, a facie tua. 36 Cum autem deponeretur, aiebat: Revertere, Domine, ad multitudinem exercitus Israël.

[1] Literally, ‘carrying the sanctuary’, but (since the sanctuary was part of the tabernacle) this would contradict verse 17 just above. What they carried was evidently the furniture of the sanctuary (see 4.15). In the second half of the verse, the Latin means literally ‘the tabernacle was carried all the time, until they reached the place of its setting up’; the Hebrew is also obscure, ‘and they set up the tabernacle till they arrived’. But the meaning in either case must surely be, that the sons of Gerson and Merari marched well in front, so that they might have it ready erected by the time the sons of Caath came up bearing its furniture.

[2] The Hebrew text here may imply that the ark went three days’ journey forward in advance of the Israelites.
