The Two Silver Trumpets

1And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying, 2Make to thyself two trumpets of silver; turned work shalt thou make them: and they were to thee for calling the assembly and for the removing the camp. 3And they sounded with them, and they assembled to thee all the assembly at the door of the tent of appointment. 4And if they shall sound with one, and to thee assembled the chiefs of the heads of the thousands of Israel. 5And ye sounded the signal, and the camps encamping eastward, removed. 6And ye sounded the signal the second time, and the camps encamping to the south, removed: they shall sound the signal for their removings. 7And in the assembly being gathered together, ye shall sound, and shall not sound loud. 8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall sound with the trumpets; and they were to you for a law forever to your generations. 9And when ye shall go out to war in your land against the enemy pressing you, and ye sounded the signal in the trumpets; and ye were remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye were saved from your enemies. 10And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointments, and in the heads of your mouths, and ye shall sound with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace; and they were to you for a remembrance before your God: I am Jehovah your God.
