Numbers 10:31-36 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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

32. So come with us. The Lord will give us good things. We'll share them with you."

33. So they started out from the mountain of the Lord. They traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went in front of them during those three days. It went ahead of them to find a place for them to rest.

34. They started out from the camp by day. And the cloud of the Lord was above them.

35. When the ark started out, Moses said, "Lord, rise up! Let your enemies be scattered. Let them run away from you."

36. When the ark came to rest, Moses said, "Lord, return. Return to the many thousands of people in Israel."
