And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Then the LORD said to Moses,

Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.

“Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.

And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.

When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.

When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.

But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.

And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.

The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.

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 the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.

Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.

And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”
