Numbers 10:1 In-Context

1 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

2 Make to thee two silver trumps (Make for thyself two silver trumpets), beaten out with hammers, by which thou mayest call together the multitude, when the tents shall be moved.

3 And when thou shalt sound with trumps, all the company shall be gathered to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the bond of peace. (And when thou shalt sound with the trumpets, all the multitude shall be gathered to thee at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Covenant.)

4 If thou shalt trump with one trump, the princes and the chief men of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee; (If thou shalt sound with one trumpet, the leaders who be the chief men of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee;)

5 but if a longer, and a parted trumping of two trumps shall sound, they that be at the east coast shall move their tents first (then they who be on the east side shall move their tents first).
