BRAGADAYJAH 417
The foregoing is an outline
of the journeying of the children of Israel as they went forth according to the
order of their armies.
And Moses said unto Hobab the
son of Maguel, the Midianite who was Moses’ father-in-law. “We are journeying unto the place of which
the Lord said, I will it give to you; come you with us and it will do thee
well; for the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel.”
And he said unto him, I will
not go. “I will depart to my own land and to my own people.” Then Moses pleaded
with him and said to him, “do not leave us because you see how we must need
encamp in the wilderness you can be to us our eyes and ears. And if you go with
us when the Lord blesses us, He will bless you also.”
And after that they departed
and journeyed for three days, with the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord going on
before them to seek out a good resting place for them. And as they journeyed
the cloud of the Lord hovered over them as they went.
And it came to pass as the
ark went forward, Moses said, “Rise up Lord and let thine enemies be scattered
and let them that hate us flee before thee. And when the cloud rested, Moses
said “Return O Lord unto the many thousands of Israel.”
