Numbers 10:10–28

¹⁰On 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 serve you for remembrance before your God: I am the Lord your God.”

¹¹In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony, ¹²and the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran. ¹³They set out for the first time at the command of the Lord by Moses. ¹⁴The standard of the camp of the men of Judah set out first by their companies; and over their host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. ¹⁵And over the host of the tribe of the men of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar. ¹⁶And over the host of the tribe of the men of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
