So the Israelites did everything the Lord had commanded Moses. That’s the way they set up camp under their flags. And that’s the way they started out. Each of them marched out with their own tribe and family.
When the ark started out, Moses said,“ Lord, rise up! Let your enemies be scattered. Let them run away from you.”When the ark stopped, Moses said,“ Lord, return. Return to the many thousands of people in Israel.”
So even though I am away from you in body, I am with you in spirit. And I am glad to see that you are controlling yourselves. I am happy that your faith in Christ is so strong.
“ Who is this woman? She is like the sunrise in all its glory. She is as beautiful as the moon. She is as bright as the sun. She is as majestic as the stars traveling across the sky.”
It’s the message God gave to the one who hears the words of God. He sees a vision from the Mighty One. He falls down flat with his face toward the ground. His eyes have been opened by the Lord.“ People of Jacob, your tents are very beautiful. Israel, the places where you live are very beautiful.
