| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“Make two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for breaking camp. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4But if they blow only one, then the chiefs, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow a long blast, but you shall not sound an alarm. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. They shall be a reminder of you before your God: I am the LORD your God.” |
