Israel Leaves Sinai
11 sIn the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud tlifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony, 12 uand the people of Israel set out vby stages from the wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the wilderness of wParan. 13 They set out for the first time xat the command of the Lord by Moses. 14 yThe standard of the camp of the people of Judah set out first by their companies, and over their company was zNahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Issachar was aNethanel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Zebulun was bEliab the son of Helon.
17 And when the tabernacle was ctaken down, the dsons of Gershon and the esons of Merari, who carried the tabernacle, set out. 18 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out by their companies, and over their company was fElizur the son of Shedeur. 19 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Simeon was gShelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Gad was hEliasaph the son of Deuel.
21 iThen the Kohathites set out, jcarrying the holy things, and the tabernacle was kset up before their arrival. 22 lAnd the standard of the camp of the people of Ephraim set out by their companies, and over their company was mElishama the son of Ammihud. 23 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Manasseh was nGamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 24 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Benjamin was oAbidan the son of Gideoni.
25 pThen the standard of the camp of the people of Dan, acting as the rear guard of all the camps, set out by their companies, and over their company was qAhiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 26 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Asher was rPagiel the son of Ochran. 27 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Naphtali was sAhira the son of Enan. 28 This was the order of march of the people of Israel by their companies, when they set out.
29 And Moses said to tHobab the son of uReuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, v‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do good to you, for wthe Lord has promised good to Israel.” 30 But he said to him, “I will not go. I will depart to my own land and to my kindred.” 31 And he said, “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us. 32 And if you do go with us, whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same will we do to you.”
33 So they set out from xthe mount of the Lord three days’ journey. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them three days’ journey, to yseek out a resting place for them. 34 And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp.
35 And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, z“Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.” 36 And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side.1 The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is ucomforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, v‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, wneither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
