Numbers 10:29

Numbers 10:29

27 And over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.

28 ^aThus was the order of march of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they began their journey.

29 Now Moses said to ^aHobab the son of ^bReuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, ^c‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and ^dwe will treat you well; for ^ethe Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

30 And he said to him, “I will not go, but I will depart to my own land and to my relatives.”

31 So Moses said, “Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can¹ be our ^aeyes.

32 And it shall be, if you go with us—indeed it shall be—that ^awhatever good the Lord will do to us, the same we will do to you.”

Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite—called also Reuel (the same as Jethro [Exodus 2:18, Margin]). Hobab, the son of this Midianite chief and brother-in-law to Moses, seems to have sojourned among the Israelites during the whole period of their encampment at Sinai and now on their removal proposed returning to his own abode. Moses urged him to remain, both for his own benefit from a religious point of view, and for the useful services his nomad habits could enable him to render.
