Numbers 10:1 In-Context

1 Now the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver for calling the community to assemble and for signaling the breaking of camp.

3 When both trumpets are blown, everyone must gather before you at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

4 But if only one trumpet is blown, then only the leaders—the heads of the clans of Israel—must present themselves to you.

5 “When you sound the signal to move on, the tribes camped on the east side of the Tabernacle must break camp and move forward.
