Numbers 10

Gen Z: Numbers 10

1Yo, the Lord hit up Moses, saying,

2Make two silver trumpets, like one solid piece, so you can call the squad and get the camps movin'.

3When you blow those trumpets, everyone’s gotta gather at the tabernacle door, no cap.

4If you only blow one trumpet, the heads of the thousands in Israel will roll up to you.

5When you blow that alarm, the camps chillin' on the east gotta bounce.

6Blow that alarm again, and the south side camps will start their journey; they gotta sound off for their trips.

7But when it's time to gather the crew, just blow, don’t sound the alarm, periodt.

8Aaron’s sons, the priests, will blow the trumpets; this is a forever vibe for your fam.

9If you go to war in your land against your oppressors, blow that alarm with the trumpets, and God will remember you and save you from your foes.

10Also, on your happy days, solemn occasions, and the start of your months, blow those trumpets over your offerings; it’s a memorial before your God: I’m the Lord your God.

11So, on the 20th day of the second month, year two, the cloud was like, "I'm out," from the tabernacle. Major vibes.

12The Israelites bounced from the Sinai wilderness, and the cloud was chillin’ in the Paran wilderness.

13They kicked off their journey just like God told Moses to do. No cap.

14First up was the Judah camp squad, led by Nahshon, son of Amminadab. Goated.

15Nethaneel, son of Zuar, was running the Issachar tribe's crew.

16Eliab, son of Helon, was in charge of the Zebulun tribe's squad.

17They packed up the tabernacle, and Gershon and Merari's fams were like, "Let’s roll!"

18Reuben's camp set off with their crew, led by Elizur, son of Shedeur.

19Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai, was leading the Simeon tribe's squad.

20Eliasaph, son of Deuel, was running the Gad tribe's whole vibe.

21The Kohathites dipped, carrying the sanctuary, while the others set up the tabernacle when they rolled in.

22The Ephraim squad pulled up with their crew, and Elishama was leading the vibes.

23Gamaliel was the head of the Manasseh tribe, just chillin' and keeping it real.

24Abidan was running the Benjamin tribe, holding it down like a boss.

25The Dan crew rolled out last, with Ahiezer leading the way, keeping it savage.

26Pagiel was the boss of the Asher tribe, making sure everything was lit.

27Ahira was running the Naphtali tribe, vibing with the squad.

28This is how the Israel crew moved out, all organized and ready to pop off.

29Moses hit up Hobab, saying, “Yo, we’re heading to the place God promised us, come with us and we’ll treat you right, for real.”

30Hobab was like, “Nah, I’m good; I’m heading back to my peeps.”

31He was like, "Don’t bounce on us, fam; you know how we roll in the wild, and you’re our eyes out here."

32If you roll with us, just know whatever good vibes the Lord sends our way, we’ll share that love with you too.

33They dipped from the Lord’s mountain for three days, and the ark was leading the way, scouting for a chill spot.

34The Lord’s cloud was their vibe check during the day when they peaced out from the camp.

35When the ark moved out, Moses was like, "Yo, Lord, rise up and scatter the haters; make them bounce!"

36And when it chilled, he said, "Come back, Lord, to all the thousands of Israel, fr."

KJV: Numbers 10

1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.

3And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

4And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

5When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

6When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

7But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.

9And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord your God.

11And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.

12And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

13And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

14In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

15And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

16And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.

17And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.

18And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

19And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

20And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

21And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.

22And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud.

23And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

24And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

25And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

26And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.

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

28Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.

29And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the 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 instead of eyes.

32And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

33And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.

34And the 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, Rise 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.
