But while the youth was embracing his great-grandfather, who hugged and caressed him, Nun, with youthful vivacity, was issuing orders to the shepherds and servants: "Let the tent fall, men! The storm has begun the work for you! Wrap the covering round the poles, load the carts and beasts of burden.

Move briskly, You, Gaddi, Shamma, and Jacob, join the others! The hour for departure has come! Everybody must hasten to harness the animals, put them in the wagons, and prepare all things as fast as possible.

The Almighty shows us the way, and every one must hasten, in His name and by the command of Moses.

Keep strictly to the old order.

We head the procession, then come the other tribes, lastly the strangers and leprous men and women.
