Numbers 10:29-31

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁹ Hobab was the son of Reuel, the Midianite. (Reuel was Moses’ father-in-law.) Moses said to Hobab, “We are traveling to the land that the Lord promised to give to us. Come with us and we will be good to you. The Lord has promised good things to the Israelites.”

³⁰ But Hobab answered, “No, I will not go with you. I will go back to my homeland and to my own people.”

³¹ Then Moses said, “Please don’t leave us. You know more about the desert than we do. You can be our guide.
