1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses:
2 “Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation and for the journeying of the camps. “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 they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of 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 they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to 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 you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward. 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 you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 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 the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm. 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, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations. 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 land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you will be saved 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 in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God. I am Yahweh 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.”
