Numbers 10:1-23 ▼

1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

2 Make thee two trumpettes of siluer: of an whole peece shalt thou make them, that thou mayest vse them to call the congregation together, and when the campe shall iourney.

3 And when they shal blowe with them, all the multitude shall resort to thee before the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation.

4 And if they blowe but one trumpet, then the princes which are heades ouer the thousandes of Israel shall come vnto thee.

5 But if ye blowe an alarme, the hoastes that lye on the east partes shall go forwarde.

6 And if ye blowe the alarme the second tyme, the hoast that lyeth on the south side shall take their iourney: for they shall blowe an alarme when they take their iourneyes.

7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, they shall blowe without an alarme.

8 And the sonnes of Aaron the priestes shall blowe with their trumpettes, and ye shall haue them as a lawe for euer in your generations.

9 And if ye go to warre in your lande agaynst your enemies that vexe you, ye shall blowe an alarme with the trumpettes, and ye shalbe remembred before the Lorde your God, to be saued from your enemies.

10 Also in the day of your gladnesse, and in your feast dayes, & in the begynnyng of your monethes, ye shall blowe the trumpettes ouer your burnt sacrifices and peace offerynges, that they may be a remembraunce for you before your God: I am the Lorde your God.
