Numbers 10:4

4 si semel clangueris venient ad te principes et capita multitudinis Israhel

Numbers 10:4 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 10:4

And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet]
With only one of them, or but once, with one sounding, and that an even one as before:

then the princes, [which are] the heads of the thousands of Israel,
shall gather themselves unto thee:
and they only or alone, as Aben Ezra: by this token, or by this difference of blowing both trumpets, or only one, it was, easily known when the whole congregation or when the princes only were to meet Moses at the same place, the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and all are to attend divine service, and the ministry of the word, even the whole church of God, and all the members of it, high and low, rich and poor, princes and people.

Numbers 10:4 In-Context

2 fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra
3 cumque increpueris tubis congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium foederis tabernaculi
4 si semel clangueris venient ad te principes et capita multitudinis Israhel
5 sin autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam
6 in secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubae levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem et iuxta hunc modum reliqui facient ululantibus tubis in profectione
