Numbers 10:31

Verse 31 of 36. The 10th of 36 chapters in Numbers, in The Law.

27Ahira the son of Enan was over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali.

28Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to their armies; and they went forward.

29Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well; for the LORD has spoken good concerning Israel.”

30He said to him, “I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives.”

31Moses said, “Don’t leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.

32It shall be, if you go with us—yes, it shall be—that whatever good the LORD does to us, we will do the same to you.”

33They set forward from the Mount of the LORD three days’ journey. The ark of the LORD’s covenant went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

34The cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.

35When the ark went forward, Moses said, “Rise up, LORD, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you flee before you!”
