Whenever the Covenant Box started out, Moses would say, "Arise, LORD; scatter your enemies and put to flight those who hate you!"

And whenever it stopped, he would say, "Return, LORD, to the thousands of families of Israel."

Who can hear what God is saying. With staring eyes I see in a trance A vision from Almighty God.

The tents of Israel are beautiful,

Who is this whose glance is like the dawn? She is beautiful and bright, as dazzling as the sun or the moon.

because God does not want us to be in disorder but in harmony and peace. As in all the churches of God's people,

For even though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, and I am glad as I see the resolute firmness with which you stand together in your faith in Christ.
