Numbers 10:31–35 · Berean Standard Bible

31 “Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.

32 If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”

33 So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

34 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”
