1 The LORD said to Moses, The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses:
2 |Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. Use them to call the community together and as a signal to break camp. “Make two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for breaking camp. “Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out.
3 When you blow both trumpets, the whole community will meet with you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
4 If only one trumpet blows, the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, will meet with you. But if they blow only one, then the chiefs, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. If only one is sounded, the leaders—the heads of the clans of Israel—are to assemble before you.
5 When they hear the trumpet fanfare, the tribes that are camped on the east side will break camp first. When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out. When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.
6 When the trumpets sound a second fanfare, the tribes that are camped on the south will break camp. The fanfare is the signal to break camp. And 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. At the sounding of a second blast, the camps on the south are to set out. The blast will be the signal for setting out.
7 But when you gather the assembly, the trumpets will blow without sounding a fanfare. But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow a long blast, but you shall not sound an alarm. To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets, but not with the signal for setting out.
8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, will blow the trumpets. This will be a permanent law for you and your descendants. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. “The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to blow the trumpets. This is to be a lasting ordinance for you and the generations to come.
9 |When you go to war in your own country against an enemy who is oppressing you, the trumpets will sound a fanfare. Then the LORD your God will remember you and rescue you from your enemies. And 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. When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the LORD your God and rescued from your enemies.
10 Also, on your festival days and on the first day of the month, blow the trumpets when you sacrifice your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. The trumpets will be a reminder for you in God's presence. I am the LORD your God.| On 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.” Also at your times of rejoicing—your appointed festivals and New Moon feasts—you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”
