28 This is the order by which Bnei-Yisrael, by their divisions, set out.
29 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out to the place about which Adonai said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will do good to you, because Adonai has spoken goodness to Israel.”
30 But he said to him, “I will not go, because I would rather go to my own country and to my own people.”
31 But he said, “Do not leave us now, because you know where we should camp in the wilderness. You can be like eyes to us.
32 If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good Adonai gives to us.”
33 So they advanced from the mountain of Adonai, a trip of three days, the Ark of the covenant of Adonai going ahead of them for those three days to seek out a resting place for them.
34 The cloud of Adonai was over them by day when they advanced from the camp.
