Numbers 10:1 In-Context

1 God spoke to Moses:
2 "Make two bugles of hammered silver. Use them to call the congregation together and give marching orders to the camps.
3 When you blow them, the whole community will meet you at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
4 "When a bugle gives a single, short blast, that's the signal for the leaders, the heads of the clans, to assemble.
5 When it gives a long blast, that's the signal to march. At the first blast the tribes who were camped on the east set out.
