1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them that thou may use them for the convocation of the congregation and for the moving of the camp.
3
And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall join themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
4
But when they blow
only one, then the princes,
who are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5
When ye blow an alarm, then ye shall move the camp of those that are lodged towards the east.
6
And when ye blow an alarm the second time, then ye shall move the camp of those that are lodged on the side of the Negev; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and you shall have them as a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
9
And when ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
