The Silver Trumpets
The Lord said to Moses:
The Lord said to Moses:
The Two Silver Trumpets
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
“Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out.
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them; and they shall serve for the calling together of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
And when they shall blow with them, the whole assembly shall gather to thee at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
If only one is sounded, the leaders — the heads of the clans of Israel — are to assemble before you.
And if they blow with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather unto thee.
When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out.
And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie eastward shall set forward.
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.
And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie southward shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm on their setting forward.
To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets, but not with the signal for setting out.
And when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not blow an alarm:
“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.
the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an everlasting statute throughout your generations.
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.
And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
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.”
And in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings and over your sacrifices of peace-offering; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.

He answered, “No, I will not go; I am going back to my own land and my own people.”
And he said to him, I will not go; but to mine own land, and to my kindred will I go.
But Moses said, “Please do not leave us. You know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.
And he said, Leave me not, I pray thee, because thou knowest where we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou wilt be to us for eyes.
If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the Lord gives us.”
And it shall be, if thou come with us, that whatever good Jehovah doeth unto us, so will we do to thee.
