Numbers 10: Rise up, LORD

Read Numbers 10 before you meet.

In a few lines

The silver trumpets gathered Israel, sent it out, and in war sounded so that "you will be remembered before the LORD your God" (10:9). And when the camp left Sinai, the ark went ahead "to seek out a resting place for them" (10:33), with the verb Numbers soon uses for the spies (13:2), while Moses prayed nearly the words that open Psalm 68 (10:35).

The verse to carry

“When the ark went forward, Moses said, “Rise up, LORD, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you flee before you!””

Numbers 10:35

To talk about

  1. 1. The cloud led Israel, yet Moses still asked Hobab, "you can be our eyes" (10:31). Whose help do you find it hard to ask for, even when you trust God to lead?

  2. 2. The same trumpets called the people to gather and sent them out on the journey (10:2-7). Which is harder for you right now: gathering with God's people, or moving on when it's time?

  3. 3. "Rise up, LORD" when the ark set out, and "Return, LORD" when it rested (10:35-36). What would it change to pray one of those at the start or end of your days this week?
