Numbers 10:24-32 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

24. Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.

25. The last ones were the rear guard for all the tribes. These were the divisions from the camp of Dan under their flag. Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai was the commander.

26. Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher.

27. Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.

28. This was the order the Israelite divisions marched in when they moved.

29. Hobab was the son of Reuel the Midianite. Reuel, who is also called Jethro, was Moses’ father-in-law. Moses said to Hobab, “We are moving to the land God promised to give us. Come with us. We will be good to you. The Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

30. But Hobab answered, “No, I will not go. I will go back to my own land where I was born.”

31. But Moses said, “Please don’t leave us. You know where we can camp in the desert. You can be our guide.

32. Come with us. We will share with you all the good things the Lord gives us.”
