Numbers 10:1–9

¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ²Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them; and they shall serve for the calling together of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. ³And when they shall blow with them, the whole assembly shall gather to thee at the entrance of the tent of meeting. ⁴And if they blow with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather unto thee. ⁵And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie eastward shall set forward. ⁶And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie southward shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm on their setting forward. ⁷And when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not blow an alarm: ⁸the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an everlasting statute throughout your generations. ⁹And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
