29. Moses said to his brother-in-law Hobab son of Jethro the Midianite, “We are about to start out for the place which the Lord said he would give us. He has promised to make Israel prosperous, so come with us, and we will share our prosperity with you.”
30. Hobab answered, “No, I am going back to my native land.”
31. “Please don't leave us,” Moses said. “You know where we can camp in the wilderness, and you can be our guide.
32. If you come with us, we will share with you all the blessings that the Lord gives us.”
