耶和華曉諭
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
耶和華曉諭
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
「你要用銀子做兩枝號，都要錘出來的，用以招聚會眾，並叫眾營起行。
“Make two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for breaking camp.
吹這號的時候，全會眾要到你那裏，聚集在會幕門口。
And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
若單吹一枝，眾首領，就是
But if they blow only one, then the chiefs, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
吹出大聲的時候，東邊安的營都要起行。
When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out.
二次吹出大聲的時候，南邊安的營都要起行。他們將起行，必吹出大聲。
And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out.
但招聚會眾的時候，你們要吹號，卻不要吹出大聲。
But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow a long blast, but you shall not sound an alarm.
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
你們在自己的地，與欺壓你們的敵人打仗，就要用號吹出大聲，便在耶和華──你們的神面前得蒙紀念，也蒙拯救脫離仇敵。
And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.
在你們快樂的日子和節期，並月朔，獻燔祭和平安祭，也要吹號，這都要在你們的神面前作為紀念。我是耶和華──你們的神。」
On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be a reminder of you before your God: I am the LORD your God.”
第二年二月二十日，雲彩從法櫃的帳幕收上去。
In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony,

They set out for the first time at the command of the LORD by Moses.

And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do good to you, for the LORD has promised good to Israel.”
But he said to him, “I will not go. I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.”
And he said, “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us.
你若和我們同去，將來耶和華有甚麼好處待我們，我們也必以甚麼好處待你。」
And if you do go with us, whatever good the LORD will do to us, the same will we do to you.”
So they set out from the mount of the LORD three days' journey. And the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
他們拔營往前行，日間有耶和華的雲彩在他們以上。
And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp.
約櫃往前行的時候，
And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Arise, O LORD, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.”
約櫃停住的時候，他就說：「耶和華啊，求你回到
And when it rested, he said, “Return, O LORD, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”
