Numbers 10:29-31

New Century Version

²⁹ Hobab was the son of Reuel the Midianite,^[a] who was Moses’ father-in-law. Moses said to Hobab, “We are moving to the land the Lord promised to give us. Come with us and we will be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

³⁰ But Hobab answered, “No, I will not go. I will go back to my own land where I was born.”

³¹ But Moses said, “Please don’t leave us. You know where we can camp in the desert, and you can be our guide.
