- By the mouth of the Word of YHWH the children of Israel went forward, and by the Word of YHWH they rested. All the days that the Cloud of Glory abode upon the Tabernacle, (so long) did they abide. And if the Cloud tarried over the Tabernacle many days the children of Israel observed the watch of the Word of YHWH, and did not proceed. If for the time of a number of days, suppose the seven days of the week, the Cloud of Glory was upon the Tabernacle, by the mouth of the Word of YHWH they rested, and by the mouth of the Word of YHWH they went forward. Or, if the Cloud of Glory (rested only) from evening until morning, and was uplifted in the morning, then went they onward; whether by day or by night, when the Cloud was lifted up they went forward; whether it was two days, or a month, or a year complete, while the Cloud of Glory made stay over the Tabernacle, abiding on it, the children of Israel abode, and journeyed not, and at the time of its uplifting they went forward. By the mouth of the Word of YHWHthey encamped, and by it they journeyed; they kept the observance of the Word of YHWH, by the mouth of the Word of YHWH through Mosheh.

And when you enter upon the order of the line of battle for your country, with oppressors who oppress you, then shall you blow the alarm on the trumpets, that the remembrance of you may come up for good before YHWH your Elohim, that you may be delivered from your enemies. And in the day of your rejoicings, and in your solemnities, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your consecrated victims, and they shall be for a good memorial to you before YHWH your Elohim; for Satana shall be troubled at the sound of your jubel notes: I am YHWH your Elohim.

And from the Graves of the Desirers the people journeyed to Hatseroth, and they were in Hatseroth
