²⁹And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of ⁱRaguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, ^kI will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for ^lthe Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel. ³⁰And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. ³¹And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us ^minstead of eyes. ³²And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that ⁿwhat goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

³³And they departed from ^othe mount of the Lord three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord ^pwent before them in the three days’ journey, to search out ^qa resting place for them. ³⁴And ^rthe cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. ³⁵And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said,

^sRise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered;

And let them that hate thee flee before thee.

³⁶And when it rested, he said,

Return, O Lord, unto the ^†many thousands of Israel.
