1
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Make thee two trumpets of beaten silver, wherewith thou mayest call together the multitude when the camp is to be removed.
2
Make two silver trumpets; you shall make them of hammered work; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation, and for breaking camp.
3 And when thou shalt sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather unto thee to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.
3
When both are blown, the whole congregation shall assemble before you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

4
But if only one is blown, then the leaders, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall assemble before you.
5 But if the sound of the trumpets be longer, and with interruptions, they that are on the east side, shall first go forward.
5
When you blow an alarm, the camps on the east side shall set out;
6 And at the second sounding and like noise of the trumpet, they who lie on the south side shall take up their tents. And after this manner shall the rest do, when the trumpets shall sound for a march.
6

10
