Settings

5 When you blow an alarm, 1the camps that are on the east side shall set out.
6 And when you blow an alarm the second time, 2the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out.
7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, 3you shall blow a long blast, but you shall not 4sound an alarm.
8 5And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
9 And 6when you go to war in your land against the adversary who 7oppresses you, then you shall 8sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be 9remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.
10 10On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and 11at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be 12a reminder of you before your God: I am the LORD your God."

Israel Leaves Sinai

11 In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, 13the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony,
12 and the people of Israel 14set out by stages from the 15wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the 16wilderness of Paran.
13 They set out for the first time 17at the command of the LORD by Moses.
14 The standard of the camp of the people of Judah set out 18first by their companies, and over their company was 19Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
15 And over the company of the tribe of the people of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.
