Numbers 10:29–36

²⁹And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it unto you: come with us, and we will do thee good; for Jehovah has spoken good concerning Israel. ³⁰And he said to him, I will not go; but to mine own land, and to my kindred will I go. ³¹And he said, Leave me not, I pray thee, because thou knowest where we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou wilt be to us for eyes. ³²And it shall be, if thou come with us, that whatever good Jehovah doeth unto us, so will we do to thee. ³³And they set forward from the mountain of Jehovah and went three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting-place for them. ³⁴And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day when they set forward out of the camp. ³⁵And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered; And let them that hate thee flee before thy face. ³⁶And when it rested, he said, Return, Jehovah, unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
