Números 10
Wiersbe - God had already told them how to organize the march, and all they had to do was obey. If we don’t obey in the things God has told us, He will not reveal anything new to us (John 7:17). (With the Word) Numbers 10:15 and Nethanel the son of Zuar, over the tribal army of the sons of Issachar; Nu 1:8 7:18 NUMBER TWO OF THE FIRST TRIAD and Nethanel the son of Zuar, over the tribal army of the sons of Issachar - see note above on army Numbers 10:16 and Eliab the son of Helon over the tribal army of the sons of Zebulun. Nu 1:9 7:24 NUMBER THREE OF THE FIRST TRIAD and Eliab the son of Helon over the tribal army of the sons of Zebulun see note above on army Numbers 10:17 Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set out. the tabernacle: Nu 1:51 Heb 9:11 12:28 2Pe 1:14 the sons: Nu 3:25,26,36,37 4:24-33 7:6-8 MOVING THE TABERNACLE Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set out - Next were the Gershonites and Merarites carrying the curtains and poles of the tabernacle on the oxcarts (cf. Nu 4:21–45; Nu 7:2–8) Wenham explains that "This detail is not mentioned in chapter 2, which does not differentiate between the Kohathites marching in the middle of the procession, and the Merarites and Gershonites going ahead of them. The latter arrangement was adopted so that the tabernacle could be set up before the most sacred objects carried by the Kohathites arrived (Nu 11:21). These could then be immediately placed inside the tent." (TOTC-Nu) NIVSB - The Levite clans of the Gershonites and Merarites carried the tabernacle (Num 3:21–26, 33–37) ahead of the Kohathites, who transported its furnishings (3:27–32). The order was set so that, by the time the Kohathites arrived at the camp, the other Levites would have the tabernacle set up and ready for the furnishings (v. 21). Numbers 10:18 Next the standard of the camp of Reuben, according to their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army, the camp: Nu 2:10-16 26:5-18 Elizur: Nu 1:5 7:35 NUMBER ONE OF THE SECOND TRIAD Next the standard of the camp of Reuben, according to their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army - see note above on army Numbers 10:19 and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the tribal army of the sons of Simeon, Simeon: Nu 1:6 7:36 NUMBER TWO OF THE SECOND TRIAD and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the tribal army of the sons of Simeon,- see note above on army Numbers 10:20 and Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the tribal army of the sons of Gad.

As when a man gathers his neighbor’s lost sheep into his own house to restore it, so the Lord gathers us up even when our mother or father forsakes us (Ps 27:10). Or when evil oppression brings on a captivity, the God of Israel not only goes before his people but becomes the “gatherer” (“rear guard”) of the strays (Isa 52:12). (ibid) Numbers 10:26 and Pagiel the son of Ochran over the tribal army of the sons of Asher; Pagiel: Nu 1:13 7:72 NUMBER TWO OF THE FOURTH TRIAD and Pagiel the son of Ochran over the tribal army of the sons of Asher- see note above on army Numbers 10:27 and Ahira the son of Enan over the tribal army of the sons of Naphtali.

God had given this marching order in chapter 1 and now repeats it which emphasizes God's focus on order and on obeying His order lest they experience "disorder" and even defeat! Numbers 10:29 Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out to the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you'; come with us and we will do you good, for the LORD has promised good concerning Israel." NET Numbers 10:29 Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel, the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place about which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things for Israel." NLT Numbers 10:29 One day Moses said to his brother-in-law, Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, "We are on our way to the place the LORD promised us, for he said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised wonderful blessings for Israel!" ESV Numbers 10:29 And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will do good to you, for the LORD has promised good to Israel." NIV Numbers 10:29 Now Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out for the place about which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel." Ex 2:18, Ex 3:1 18:1,27 the Lord: Ge 12:7 13:15 15:18 Ac 7:5 come: Jud 1:16 4:11 1Sa 15:6 Ps 34:8 Isa 2:3 Jer 50:5 Zec 8:21-23 Rev 22:17 for the Lord: Nu 23:19 Ge 32:12 Ex 3:8 6:7,8 Tit 1:2 Heb 6:18 MOSES INVITES HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW TO COME Keep the chronology in mind - the interaction between Moses and Hobab occurred before the nation left the camp at Mount Sinai. Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite (see Ex 2:18+), Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out to the place of which the LORD said, 'I will give it to you'; come with us and we will do you good, for the LORD has promised good concerning Israel - Note the phrase I will give it to you. They had in essence already received it because of God's covenant promises (God's part), but they had to go in and take it (Man's part). That's usually the way God operates in our lives - His sovereignty over our lives, but our responsibility to walk in His will. As believers we are pilgrims journeying through the wilderness of this dark world going toward Heaven and the mansions (Jn 14:2) that the Lord has promised to give us. Brian Bell - We should give this same invitation to our friends, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said.” Believer's Study Bible - Hobab is the brother-in-law of Moses and the son of Reuel (also called "Jethro," the priest of Midian; cf. Ex. 2:18; 3:1). According to Jdg. 1:16, Reuel/Jethro was a Kenite, which was probably a smaller group within the Midianites. That verse also indicates that Hobab finally agreed to accompany them.

Wiersbe says "God promises to guide us, but that doesn’t mean we should be deaf to the wisdom of experienced people." (Ibid) NET Note on be as eyes - In the Hebrew text the expression is more graphic: “you will be for us for eyes.” Hobab was familiar with the entire Sinai region, and he could certainly direct the people where they were to go. The text does not record Hobab’s response. But the fact that Kenites were in Canaan as allies of Judah (Jdg 1:16) would indicate that he gave in and came with Moses. The first refusal may simply be the polite Semitic practice of declining first so that the appeal might be made more urgently. Brian Bell - Hobab’s wisdom didn’t take the place of God’s leading. Rather, Hobab assisted in the everyday problems of a people who were not accustomed to wilderness life. An invaluable guide knows: Where the shade was, water, best routes, safety. God promises to guide us, but that doesn’t mean we should be deaf to the wisdom of experienced people. A sailboat uses both wind against it sails & a rudder for direction to get to its destination! Ronald Allen - “Moses continued to urge Hobab to join Israel. In a sense this is an act of evangelism. Hobab did not come easily. But subsequent biblical texts indicate that he did come. As such, he is like Ruth who joins Naomi en route to the Land of Promise, leaving all behind, with a promise of something ahead that is of more value than anything left at home.” (EBC) Norman Geisler - NUMBERS 10:31—If God lead Israel by a cloud then why was Hobab needed as a guide? PROBLEM: Exodus 13:21–22 affirms that God supernaturally lead Israel through the wilderness by a cloud that was illuminated by night. However, Moses asked his father-in-law, Hobab, to come with them “inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes” (Num. 10:31). But why did they need a human guide when they had divine guidance? SOLUTION: In response, several things should be observed. One is that Moses saw no contradiction between these and even mentions both the usefulness of Hobab (Num. 10:31) and the leadership of the pillar of cloud (Num. 10:34) only three verses later! Furthermore, there is an important difference between the general route to take (and how long to stay) provided by the cloud and specific arrangements for the camp supplied by human wisdom. An experienced person in the way of this wilderness could be invaluable for finding the most advantageous places for pasture, shelter, and other needed supplies. The critic shows a lack of understanding of the principle that God does not do for us what we can do for ourselves. (When Critics Ask) G Campbell
