Numbers 10 · Grade 4

Leaving Sinai

Name Date

Read and Think

Numbers 10 marks a turning point. After nearly a year at Mount Sinai, Israel was ready to move. God commanded two silver trumpets to gather the congregation, signal the camps to march, sound alarms in battle, and celebrate at feasts. In battle, God said, you will be remembered before Yahweh your God.

When the cloud lifted, the tribes set out by their banners in the order God gave. Judah led. The Gershonites and Merarites carried the tabernacle frame ahead, so it could be set up before the Kohathites arrived with the holy things.

Moses invited Hobab to come and share in the good God would do. Then, as the ark of the covenant went before them, Moses prayed for God to rise up and scatter His enemies. When it rested, he prayed, Return, Yahweh. Israel's journey depended on God's presence.
