10:2 Make thee two tzotzerot (trumpets) of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them; that thou mayest use them for the calling of the Edah, and for the setting out of the machanot.
10:3 And when they shall sound them, Kol HaEdah shall assemble themselves to thee at the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed.
10:4 And if they sound but with one, then the Nasi’im, which are heads of Yisroel’s thousands, shall gather themselves unto thee.
10:5 When ye sound a teruah, then the machanot that camp on the east shall go forward.
10:6 When ye sound a teruah the second time, then the machanot that camp on the south shall set out; they shall sound a teruah for their settings out.
10:7 But when the Kahal is to be gathered together, ye shall sound it, but ye shall not sound a teruah.
10:8 And the Bnei Aharon, the kohanim, shall sound the tzotzerot; and they shall be to you for a chukkat olam throughout your dorot.
10:9 And if ye go into milchamah (battle) in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound a blast on the tzotzerot; and ye shall be remembered before Hashem Eloheichem, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10:10 Also in the day of your simcha, and in your moadim, and in the Rosh-Chodesh, ye shall sound a blast on the tzotzerot over your olot, and over the zevakhim of your shelamim; that they may be to you for a memorial reminder before Eloheichem: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the Anan was lifted up from off the Mishkan HaEdut.
10:12 And the Bnei Yisroel set out in their travels from the Midbar Sinai; and the Anan rested in the Midbar Paran.
10:13 And they first set out according to the mouth of Hashem by the hand of Moshe.
10:14 First in place went the degel of the machaneh of the Bnei Yehudah according to their tzivos; and over his division was Nachshon ben Amminadav.
10:15 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Yissakhar was Netanel ben Tzuar.
10:16 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Zevulun was Eliav ben Helon.

10:18 And the degel of the machaneh of Reuven set out according to their tzivos (armies); and over his division was Elitzur ben Shedeur.
10:19 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Shim’on was Shelumiel ben Tzurishaddai.
10:20 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Gad was Elyasaph ben Deuel.
10:21 And the descendants of Kehat set out, bearing the Mikdash; and they would erect the Mishkan before their arrival.
10:22 And the degel of the machaneh of the Bnei Ephrayim set out according to their tzivos (armies); and over his division was Elishama ben Ammihud.
10:23 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Menasheh was Gamli’el ben Pedahtzur.
10:24 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Binyamin was Avidan ben Gideoni.
10:25 And the degel of the machaneh of the Bnei Dan set out, which formed the rear guard of all the machanot throughout their tzivos; and over his division was Achiezer ben Ammishaddai.
10:26 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Asher was Pagiel ben Ochran.
10:27 And over the division of the tribe of the Bnei Naphtali was Achira ben Enan.
10:28 Thus was the order of march of the Bnei Yisroel according to their tzivos (armies), when they set out.
10:29 And Moshe said unto Chovav ben Reuel the Midyani, Moshe’s khoten (father-in-law), We are traveling unto the place of which Hashem said, I will give it you: Come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for Hashem hath promised tov concerning Yisroel.
10:30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my moledet.
10:31 And he [Moshe] said, Leave us not, please; forasmuch as thou hast da’as how we are to encamp in the midbar, and thou mayest be to us as eyes.
10:32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what tov Hashem shall do unto us, the same will we share with thee.
10:33 And they departed from the Mountain of Hashem three days’ journey; the Aron Brit Hashem went before them in the three days’ derech, to search out a menuchah for them.
10:34 And the Anan of Hashem was upon them by day, when they set out from the machaneh.
10:35 And it came to pass, when the Aron set out, that Moshe said, Rise up, Hashem, and let Thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee.
10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, Hashem, unto the countless thousands of Yisroel.
