Numbers

Numbers 10:33–36

³³So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them. ³⁴And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

³⁵Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say,

“Rise up, O LORD!

May Your enemies be scattered;

may those who hate You flee before You.”

³⁶And when it came to rest, he would say:

“Return, O LORD,

to the countless thousands of Israel.”
