26 Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of the descendants of Asher.
27 Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of the descendants of Naphtali.
28 These were the departures of the Israelites according to their divisions; and so they set out.
29 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, the father-in-law of Moses, “We are setting out to the place that Yahweh said, ‘I will give it to you’; go with us, and we will treat you well because Yahweh promised good concerning Israel.”
30 But he said to him, “I will not go. I will only go to my land and to my family.”
31 He said, “Please, do not abandon us because you know our encampment in the desert, and you should be our guide.
32 Moreover, if you go with us, the good that Yahweh will do to us we will do to you.”
