Numbers 10:12

IsraelParanSinai

10 And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,

and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.

13 They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

14 First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.
