Cambridge Bible on Numbers 10:23
Numbers 10:11-34 The departure from Sinai The section consists of two well-defined narratives: Numbers 10:11-28 and Numbers 10:29-33 . The latter is obviously parallel to the former, and not a continuation of it; Moses’ request to Ḥ ?obab was made immediately before the departure, Numbers 10:34 is P’s continuation of Num 10:28.
