Numbers 10:29–30

29Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuela the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of 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.”

30“I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”
