Numbers 10

Leaving Sinai

Numbers 10 tells of the camp of Israel’s first movement away from Mount Sinai after a lengthy stay there. When the Israelites left, they met Moses’ brother-in-law and invited him to join them—just as we should invite others to join us in our journey back to God.

Numbers 10 also explains that the tabernacle—representing the place where the Lord dwells—was the focus of their attention as they journeyed.
