Context
10:24 and over the company of the tribe of Benjaminites was Abidan son of Gideoni .
10:25 The standard of the camp of the Danites set out , which was the rear guard of all the camps by their companies ; over his company was Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai .
10:26 Over the company of the tribe of the Asherites was Pagiel son of Ocran ,
10:27 and over the company of the tribe of the Naphtalites was Ahira son of Enan .
10:28 These were the traveling arrangements of the Israelites according to their companies when they traveled .
The Appeal to Hobab
10:29 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel , the Midianite , Moses ’ father-in-law , “We are journeying to the place about which the Lord said , ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will treat you well , for the Lord has promised good things for Israel .”
10:30 But Hobab said to him, “I will not go , but I will go instead to my own land and to my kindred .”
10:31 Moses said , “Do not leave us, because you know places for us to camp in the wilderness , and you could be our guide .
10:32 And if you come with us, it is certain that whatever good things the Lord will favor us with , we will share with you as well.”
10:33 So they traveled from the mountain of the Lord three days ’ journey ; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was traveling before them during the three days ’ journey , to find a resting place for them.
10:34 And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day , when they traveled from the camp .
10:35 And when the ark traveled , Moses would say , “Rise up , O Lord ! May your enemies be scattered , and may those who hate you flee before you!”
10:36 And when it came to rest he would say , “Return , O Lord , to the many thousands of Israel !”
