Numbers 10:1-9 ▼

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Make to thyself two silver trumpets: thou shalt make them of beaten work; and they shall be to thee for the purpose of calling the assembly, and of removing the camps.

3 And thou shalt sound with them, and all the congregation shall be gathered to the door of the tabernacle of witness.

4 And if they shall sound with one, all the rulers even the princes of Israel shall come to thee.

5 And ye shall sound an alarm, and the camps pitched eastward shall begin to move.

6 And ye shall sound a second alarm, and the camps pitched southward shall move; and ye shall sound a third alarm, and the camps pitched westward shall move forward; and ye shall sound a fourth alarm, and they that encamp toward the north shall move forward: they shall sound an alarm at their departure.

7 And whenever ye shall gather the assembly, ye shall sound, but not an alarm.

8 And the priests the sons of Aaron shall sound with the trumpets; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.

9 And if ye shall go forth to war in your land against your enemies that are opposed to you, then shall ye sound with the trumpets; and ye shall be had in remembrance before the Lord, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
