Numbers 10

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 'Make yourself two trumpets; make them of beaten silver, so that you can use them for summoningthe community, and for sounding the order to break camp.	2 Make thee two trumpets of beaten silver, wherewith thou mayest call together the multitude when the camp is to be removed.
3 Whenever they are sounded, the whole community must gather round you, at the entrance to theTent of Meeting.	3 And when thou shalt sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather unto thee to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 But if only one trumpet is sounded, then only the leaders, the heads of Israel's thousands, mustgather round you.	4 If thou sound but once, the princes and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee.
5 'When the trumpet blast is accompanied by a battle cry, the encampments pitched to the east wil setout.	5 But if the sound of the trumpets be longer, and with interruptions, they that are on the east side, shall first go forward.
6 At the second blast accompanied by a battle cry, the encampments pitched to the south wil set out.For breaking camp, the trumpet blast wil be accompanied by a battle cry,	6 And at the second sounding and like noise of the trumpet, they who lie on the south side shall take up their tents. And after this manner shall the rest do, when the trumpets shall sound for a march.
7 but for assembling the community the trumpets will be sounded without battle cry.	7 But when the people is to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be plain, and they shall not make a broken sound.
8 The Aaronite priests wil sound the trumpets; this is a perpetual decree for you and your descendants.	8 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall sound the trumpets: and this shall be an ordinance for ever in your generations.
9 'When in your country you go to war against an enemy who is oppressing you, you will soundtrumpets with a battle cry, and Yahweh your God wil remember you, and you wil be delivered from yourenemies.	9 If you go forth to war out of your land against the enemies that fight against you, you shall sound aloud with the trumpets, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, that you may be delivered out of the hands of your enemies.
10 At your festivals, solemnities and new-moon feasts, you will sound the trumpets over your burntofferings and communion sacrifices, so that they recal you to the remembrance of your God. I am Yahweh yourGod.'	10 If at any time you shall have a banquet, end on your festival days, and on the first days of your months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts, and the sacrifices of peace offerings, that they may be to you for a remembrance of your God. I am the Lord your God.

29 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, his father-in-law, 'We are setting out for the countryof which Yahweh has said: I shall give it to you. Come with us, and we wil treat you wel , for Yahweh haspromised good things for Israel.'	29 And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Madianite, his kinsman: We are going towards the place which the Lord will give us: come with us, that we may do thee good : for the Lord hath promised good things to Israel.
30 'I wil not come with you,' he replied, 'but shal go to my own country and kin.'	30 But he answered him: I will not go with thee, but I will return to my country, wherein I was born.
31 'Do not leave us,' Moses said, 'for you know where we can camp in the desert, and so you will beour eyes.	31 And he said: Do not leave us: for thou knowest in what places we should encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be our guide.
32 If you come with us, we shal share with you whatever blessings Yahweh gives us.'	32 And if thou comest with us, we will give thee what is the best of the riches which the Lord shall deliver to us.
33 They set out from Yahweh's mountain and travel ed for three days, while the ark of the covenant ofYahweh preceded them on the three-day journey, searching out a place for them to halt.	33 So they marched from the mount of the Lord three days' journey, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them, for three days providing a place for the camp.
34 In the daytime, Yahweh's cloud was over them, once they had broken camp.	34 The cloud also of the Lord was over them by day when they marched.
35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say: Rise, Yahweh, may your enemies be scattered andthose who hate you flee at your approach!	35 And when the ark was lifted up, Moses said: Arise, O Lord, and let thy enemies be scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee from before thy face.
36 And when it halted, he would say: Come back, Yahweh, to the countless thousands of Israel!	36 And when it was set down, he said: Return, O Lord, to the multitude of the host of Israel.
