30. Hobab said to him, "I won’t go; I’d rather go to my land and to my folk."
31. Moses said, "Please don’t abandon us, for you know where we can camp in the desert, and you can be our eyes.
32. If you go with us, whatever good the Lord does for us, we’ll do for you."
33. They marched from the Lord’s mountain for three days. The Lord’s chest containing the covenant marched ahead of them for three days to look for a resting place for them.
34. Now the Lord’s cloud was over them by day when they marched from the camp.
35. When the chest set out, Moses would say, "Arise, Lord, let your enemies scatter, and those who hate you flee."
36. When it rested, he would say, "Return, Lord of the ten thousand thousands of Israel."
