Numbers 10:1-10 ▼

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Make for yourself two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall make use of them for calling the congregation, and for pulling up the camps.

3 And they shall blow both of them, and all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

4 But if they blow with one, the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.

5 And you⁺ shall blow a short blast, and the camps that lie on the east side shall set out.

6 And you⁺ shall blow a second short blast, and the camps that lie on the south side shall set out. A short blast they shall blow to set out.

7 And in the assembling of the assembly, you⁺ shall blow, and not sound a short blast.

8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you⁺ as an ordinance forever throughout your⁺ generations.

9 And when you⁺ go into battle in your⁺ land against the adversary who oppresses you⁺, you⁺ shall sound a short blast with the trumpets, and you⁺ will be remembered before the face of YHWH your⁺ God, and you⁺ will be saved from your⁺ enemies.

10 And in the day of your⁺ gladness, and in your⁺ appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your⁺ months, you⁺ shall blow the trumpets over your⁺ burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your⁺ peace offerings, and they shall be for you⁺ a memorial before the face of your⁺ God. I am YHWH your⁺ God.”
